LAGOS, Nigeria(VOICE OF NAIJA)- Popular streamer Peller has reacted to the First Lady’s suggestion that Nigerians embrace small-scale businesses such as selling kulikuli, arguing that critics who once attacked him over education have remained silent amid the ongoing “Olodo Uprising” debate.
In a video shared online, Peller mocked those who place heavy emphasis on academic qualifications, arguing that many graduates are now being encouraged to venture into small-scale businesses like selling kulikuli and roasted corn despite previously attacking content creators.
Drawing attention to an earlier controversy, Peller recalled the backlash he faced after insisting that applicants for a ₦1 million-per-month cameraman position he advertised must present educational certificates.
“Certificate people they want to give you people Kuli Kuli and Agbado make Una dey sell but una Dy talk about Olodo uprising. That other time wey I say make them bring certificate for cameraman job of 1 million Naira everybody start to dey drag me. See now na Agbado and Kuli Kuli Una go use Una certificate collect and Una no talk. You people Una wicked. See as them skip am,” he said in pidgin English.

The content creator stated that many people condemned that requirement at the time.
He went in to question why some of those same critics have remained silent over recent advice encouraging Nigerians to earn a living through small businesses.
Peller also defended his impact on society, claiming he spends between ₦10 million and ₦15 million every month on giveaways to support people financially.
He argued that such contributions are often ignored by those quick to criticize him.
“Every month when I check how much I don do give a way, I go dey see 10 to 15 million. E reach akara and Kuli Kuli Una no dey vex…” he added.

Peller’s latest reaction adds another chapter to the growing online debate sparked by rapper YCee’s remarks about the “Olodo Uprising,” a phrase he used to criticize what he described as a culture that rewards viral, shallow content over education and intellectual achievement.
