Nigerian TikTok content creator, Habeeb Hamzat, popularly known as Peller, has said he may stop schooling days after publicly celebrating his admission to study law at a university in Lagos.

He made the comment in a voice note shared with his followers on Tuesday, where he complained that attending classes was affecting his ability to earn.

“Guys, I swear to God, I remember I said I am going to school… I am not going again. I am not going again,” he said.

Peller explained that spending long hours in class without making money was frustrating for him.

“I just remember, I was inside class for four hours. I didn’t make any money. I will write, I will look, I will play, not making anything. God forbid. I am not doing that one again,” he added.

He also said he felt out of place among his classmates, claiming he was much younger than most of them.

“When I enter the school, I notice that everyone is old; I am the only young blood there,” he said.

The content creator further stated that he may consider returning to school later in life.

“So I need to go old. Maybe when I’m 30 or 40 years old, I will go to school. Please cancel everything. I am tired,” he said.

His latest comments contrast with his recent excitement over gaining admission.

Only days earlier, Peller had shared a video announcing that he had secured admission to study law at a university in Lagos State, although he did not disclose the institution.

In the video, he appeared to address critics who had often mocked his educational background.

“Everyone has been criticising me for not being educated, as if I’m the first person who didn’t attend university. Now, all of you should leave social media, because I’m in school,” he said.

“I’m now studying law. You can see it, right? You can’t mess with me anymore. I know the law,” he added.

The influencer has faced frequent criticism online over his grammar and education, with some social media users describing him as “uneducated.”

Earlier this month, he had also said he planned to return to school partly to improve his spoken English.

He has remained in the public eye in recent weeks following controversy linked to the visit of American streamer IShowSpeed to Nigeria.
