Nigerian content creator and streamer Habeeb Hamzat, popularly known as Peller, has stirred widespread reactions online after revealing that he maintains a strict rule never to spend his ₦100 million savings — even in urgent family situations.
In a viral video featuring Peller and skit maker Sir Balo, the influencer opened up about his approach to money management, stressing that he does not allow his finances to drop below a certain threshold.
“I don’t ever allow myself to be broke below ₦100 million. Even if anybody wants to d+e in the family, I won’t touch it. I always make sure my money never drops below ₦100 million,” he said.
He further explained that in times of financial need, he prefers to find alternative sources of income rather than dip into his savings.
“There are times I’ll need urgent money when I’m broke and I’ll just take music promotion and ask for like ₦3 million just to do it. But that saved 100million, I won’t touch it, because once you start, you’ll continue spending,” he added.
The statement has since triggered heated discussions across social media, with opinions divided over his stance.
While some users praised his discipline and commitment to long-term financial stability, others criticised the position as being too extreme, especially in a society where family responsibilities often require immediate financial support.
Reacting to the video, one user wrote, “So if fire catch house, una go first wait for ‘financial approval’ from Peller Finance Department.”
