Jarvis stated that while Peller did not pursue higher education, he is not uneducated as some people have suggested.
She explained that Peller completed his secondary school education and holds a WAEC certificate, which proves that he went through formal schooling.
She clarified the difference between someone who is uneducated and someone who simply did not continue to university or other higher institutions.
According to her, Peller falls into the latter category as he was unable to further his education due to financial constraints, and his situation reflects the reality faced by many young Nigerians who struggle to further their education due to financial challenges.
Jarvis noted that opportunities are not evenly distributed and that she herself was able to continue her studies because she received support after attaining fame during her third year in university. She emphasised that not everyone is fortunate enough to find such help.
Peller has built a name for himself in the streaming community, and Jarvis’s comments were aimed at correcting misconceptions that undermine his credibility as a public figure.
Jarvis and Peller were once a popular pair in the online entertainment space, often appearing together in livestreams before their relationship ended in December 2025.

Peller explains the truth behind his bad English
Earlier, Legit.ng reported that Peller explained why he speaks bad English despite once speaking well.
According to his statement during a podcast session with the Honest Bunch, Peller disclosed that he used to speak good English before he delved into TikTok influencing.
He noted that he noticed that people failed to take him seriously, his streams dropped, and those who managed to watch him were his family members. So, he decided to start speaking bad grammar and noticed that his viewership gradually increased, so he stuck to it.
Peller said that he realised Nigerians do not like learned people. He also said that he tried getting back to speaking good grammar, but much damage had already been done.
