Content Creator Jarvis Sets Record Straight on Peller's Education
Nigerian TikTok content creator Amadou Elizabeth Aminata, widely known as Jarvis, has publicly defended her ex-boyfriend and fellow streamer Hamzat Habeeb Adelaja, popularly called Peller, against persistent claims that he is uneducated. During a recent livestream, Jarvis addressed the criticism surrounding Peller's educational background, providing clarification on what she describes as widespread misunderstandings about his schooling.
Jarvis Clarifies Peller's Academic Qualifications
Jarvis stated emphatically that while Peller did not pursue higher education, he is far from being uneducated as some social media users have suggested. She explained that Peller successfully completed his secondary school education and possesses a West African Examinations Council (WAEC) certificate, which serves as formal proof of his academic attainment. The TikTok star highlighted the crucial distinction between someone who lacks basic education and an individual who simply did not continue to university or other tertiary institutions due to personal circumstances.
Financial Constraints Hindered Further Studies
According to Jarvis, Peller falls into the latter category as he was unable to further his education primarily because of financial limitations. She emphasized that his situation reflects the harsh reality faced by numerous young Nigerians who struggle to advance their education due to economic challenges. Jarvis noted that opportunities are not evenly distributed across society, and she herself was able to complete her university studies only after attaining fame during her third year, which brought her the necessary support to continue.
Defending Credibility in the Public Eye
Peller has established a significant reputation within Nigeria's streaming community, and Jarvis's comments were specifically aimed at correcting misconceptions that she believes undermine his credibility as a public figure. The former couple, once a popular pair in the online entertainment space who frequently appeared together in livestreams before their relationship ended in December 2025, have maintained a respectful dynamic despite their separation. Jarvis chose to speak up in defense of her ex-boyfriend, clarifying that his lack of university education should not be equated with illiteracy or lack of intelligence.
Public Reaction to Jarvis's Defense
The online community has responded with mixed reactions to Jarvis's statements about Peller's education. Some social media users have supported her perspective, while others have expressed skepticism about Peller's capabilities beyond formal schooling. This conversation has sparked broader discussions about educational attainment, self-development, and public perception in Nigeria's digital entertainment landscape.
Peller's Previous Explanation About His English
In related developments, Peller had previously explained during a podcast session why he deliberately speaks what many consider "bad English" despite having once spoken more formally. He disclosed that he noticed his viewership declined when he used proper grammar, leading him to adopt a more colloquial speaking style that resonated better with his audience. Peller suggested that this strategic shift contributed to his growing popularity on TikTok, though he acknowledged challenges in reverting to more formal speech patterns.
