Nigerian TikTok sensation Habeeb Hamzat, popularly known as Peller, triggered the conversation after posting his WAEC results to respond to trolls questioning his education. He announced that he had gained admission to a private university in Lagos to study Law.
His 2023 WAEC result showed credits in subjects such as English and Marketing. However, he scored a D7 in Government, and his Literature in English grade cancelled.

These grades quickly sparked debate over his eligibility to study Law. Nigerians began querying the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) and the unnamed private university about how Peller gained admission.
Some Nigerians also questioned when he sat for JAMB's Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), calling on him to share that result as well.
In a related report, Legit.ng revealed that Peller explained his poor command of English despite previously speaking fluently.
During a podcast session with The Honest Bunch, he disclosed that he used to speak proper English before becoming a TikTok influencer. According to him, people did not take him seriously, so he switched to a different manner of speaking that suited his audience.
