“I Was Collecting ₦200 for School and Begging My Classmates for Food” – Peller Opens Up About His Life Before Fame

• Peller has opened up about his humble beginnings, revealing that he once survived on ₦200 daily, begged classmates for food, and relied on his mother’s prayers before fame changed his life.
• He also spoke about his relationship with his wife, Jarvis, revealing that she remains the first person he consults before making major decisions.

Popular content creator Peller has shared an emotional account of his difficult childhood, revealing that he survived on just ₦200 a day for school and often begged his classmates for food before becoming successful.

Speaking during a recent interview, Peller recalled that his family’s financial struggles were so severe that he collected the phone numbers of wealthy classmates before graduation so he could call them for ₦500 or ₦1,000 whenever he needed money in the future.

According to him, “I suffered. I was collecting ₦200 daily for school and I begged for food from my mates. When we were graduating, I collected all the rich children’s numbers in school to call them later for ₦1,000 or ₦500 each if I needed money later in life, but today they are the ones calling me to come visit them. The poverty was too much. My mom prayed so much for me. Some people from Ikorodu came to my wedding and were shocked because they never thought I’ll make it in life.”

Peller also spoke about his relationship with his wife, Jarvis, revealing that she remains the first person he consults before making major decisions.

He added, “I always send anything I want to do first to my wife Jarvis. There’s nothing I want that I can’t afford.”

His emotional story has sparked mixed reactions on social media.
