Nigerian TikTok sensation, Habeeb Hamzat, popularly known as Peller, recently stirred up controversy with his unconventional criteria for hiring a personal assistant (PA). The 19-year-old content creator, famous for his comedic skits, announced that he is seeking a first-class graduate with straight A’s to fill the position.
In a video shared on his social media, Peller expressed his desire for a highly educated individual to be his PA, inviting eligible candidates to send in their curriculum vitae (CV). He emphasized his willingness to pay any amount to secure the right candidate. Peller stated, “I want to make a public announcement, God help me to do it. I need a PA, so I need a person who has straight A’s since they were born. I need an educated person, please. If you can, send me your certificate. If your bank job does not work out, you will enjoy working here.”
This declaration sparked a flurry of reactions, with many questioning the seriousness of his requirements. Some suggested that Peller might be poking fun at those with academic achievements who may not be as financially successful as he is, while others took his announcement at face value.
Peller’s move has ignited a broader conversation about the value of education versus practical success, especially in the context of social media fame and financial independence. His insistence on hiring a highly educated PA, despite his own rise to prominence through unconventional means, underscores the sometimes stark contrast between traditional paths to success and the rapidly evolving landscape of digital fame.
In an era where social media influencers can amass significant wealth and influence, Peller’s announcement serves as a provocative commentary on societal expectations and the diverse definitions of success. Whether he is genuinely seeking such a qualified assistant or merely stirring the pot, Peller has undoubtedly succeeded in capturing the public’s attention and sparking debate.
