by Adenle Ahmed Abiola · The Eagle OnlinePopular Nigerian streamer and content creator, Habeeb Hamzat, popularly known as Peller, has called on the Igbo community to support the emergence of a popular streamer from the ethnic group, expressing his desire to help one creator achieve fame.
In a video circulating on social media, Peller questioned the apparent lack of prominent Igbo streamers and expressed desire to use his platform to help an upcoming creator gain recognition.
Peller said, “We need to make one Igbo TikToker famous oo. Igbo people, one Igbo TikToker needs to be famous. He just needs to be streaming. No Igbo streamer, why? I need to make one Igbo streamer famous…”
His comments have sparked discussions online about the representation of Igbo creators in Nigeria’s live-streaming space.
