Nigerian TikTok creator Amadou Elizabeth Aminata, widely known as Jarvis, has advised singles not to get married if they don’t have money. Known for her viral AI-robot persona and her high-profile relationship with fellow content creator Habeeb Hamzat, popularly known as Peller, the influencer is urging single people to approach marriage with financial readiness.

She stated, “If You don’t have money, don’t get married. Don’t try it, I beg you”.
“But if you are planning of getting married, you can share it by doing traditional wedding this year and do the white wedding the next year”.
Jarvis also admitted that the process of planning a wedding is stressful, regardless of one’s financial status. “We almost postponed our wedding, but even if we put it in the next 50 years, we are never going to prepare for the wedding”. She noted

Jarvis’s advice comes against the backdrop of a relationship that has been intensely documented on social media. Together for over two years, Jarvis and Peller have frequently been the subject of controversy, with their personal disputes, public breakups, and reconciliations often playing out on TikTok livestreams.
In late 2025, the pair went through a widely reported breakup following a dramatic incident where Peller crashed his newly acquired car during an emotional livestream. At the time, Jarvis publicly declared that the relationship was over for now, emphasizing the need for both parties to seek emotional stability. However, they eventually reconciled, and Peller proposed to Jarvis for the second time in June 2026 at a luxury hotel in Accra, Ghana.
Despite their engagement and recent traditional wedding, the couple continues to face criticism. Detractors often point to the couple’s history of airing personal grievances online and their age gap as reasons for skepticism regarding the long-term viability of their marriage.

Beyond their relationship, Jarvis and Peller recently found themselves at the center of the viral “Olodo Uprising” conversation. The debate, which was ignited by rapper Ycee’s comments on the Afropolitan Podcast, lamented what he described as a rise in “Peller culture,” suggesting that society had begun to reward ignorance over intellectual achievement.
Jarvis became a vocal participant in this discourse, defending herself and her fiancé against the notion that content creators lack intelligence. Responding to Ycee’s remarks, she said, “I went to school. I graduated,” while highlighting that Nigeria’s economic climate has left many educated graduates with few employment opportunities outside of the digital space. She further pushed back against the term “Peller culture,” arguing that everyone has their own brand and that the entertainment they provide is a legitimate means of survival in a harsh economy.
