Tiktoker Peller Under Fire for Lavish Spending on Jarvis Despite Family Struggles
Popular Nigerian TikTok personality, Peller, has come under heavy fire from social media users following a video where he admitted he doesn’t like seeing his family due to the overwhelming responsibility of being the breadwinner.
The backlash intensified after it emerged that Peller had spent a staggering ₦13 million celebrating the birthday of his partner, Jarvis, while allegedly neglecting his parents. A visibly upset Nigerian man, in a now-viral video, slammed Peller for prioritizing luxury over family.
“You dey complain say you dey help your parents. You carry ₦13 million go spend for Jarvis birthday. If say you use that ₦13M open provision shop for your mama, you think she go dey complain?” he said in a fiery rant.
While some netizens criticized the TikToker for what they see as misplaced priorities, others attempted to offer perspective.
💬 OPINION: Is It Pressure or Misplaced Priorities?
Peller's situation shines a light on the complex emotional burden many Nigerian youths carry as unexpected breadwinners. In a society where economic inequality is sharp and family obligations are deep-rooted, it's easy to spiral into frustration.
But lavish spending on lifestyle content while one's parents allegedly struggle sends a problematic message—especially on platforms like TikTok where visibility equals influence.
It’s understandable that a young person might feel overwhelmed by responsibilities their elders failed to meet, but does that justify neglecting one's roots?
Investing in your loved ones isn't just noble—it’s legacy. A N13M birthday bash might trend, but retiring your parents for life tells a deeper, more lasting story.
🗣️ What do you think: Is Peller justified in choosing personal joy over family obligation—or does he owe his parents more?
