Popular Nigerian content creator Habeeb Hamzat, known as Peller, has stirred reactions online after opening up about his strict approach to managing money.
Speaking during a conversation with skit maker Sir Balo, Peller revealed that he has set a personal rule never to let his savings drop below ₦100 million, no matter the situation.
“I don’t ever allow myself to be broke below ₦100 million. Even if anybody wants to die in the family, I won’t touch it. I always make sure my money never drops below ₦100 million,” he said.
He explained that even when faced with urgent financial needs, 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 ₦100 million, I won’t touch it, because once you start, you’ll continue spending,” he added.
His comments have since sparked heated reactions online, with many Nigerians weighing in on the balance between financial discipline and family responsibility.
While some praised his level of discipline, arguing that setting hard limits is necessary in today’s economy, others criticised his stance as too extreme, especially in life-threatening situations.
The conversation has continued to gain traction, reflecting deeper concerns about money, priorities, and the pressure young Nigerians face in trying to secure their financial future.
