Popular streamer and content creator Peller has responded to critics amid the ongoing “Olodo Uprising” debate, accusing some Nigerians of selectively directing their outrage.
In a video shared online, Peller mocked those who emphasize academic qualifications, suggesting that degree holders are being encouraged to pursue small-scale ventures such as selling kulikuli and roasted corn (agbado) while simultaneously criticizing content creators.
He also recalled the backlash he received after previously saying applicants for a ₦1 million-per-month cameraman position would need to present educational certificates.
According to him, many people criticized that requirement at the time.
Peller questioned why, in his view, some of the same people are now silent about advice encouraging Nigerians to engage in small businesses.
He further claimed that he spends between ₦10 million and ₦15 million every month on giveaways to support others, arguing that his contributions should not be overlooked.
During his remarks, Peller referenced comments previously made by Oluremi Tinubu encouraging Nigerians to embrace small-scale food production as a way of improving household income.
