Nigerian TikTok star and social media influencer Habeeb Hamzat, best known as Peller, has caused controversy over the unusual requirements he listed for employing a personal assistant (PA).

The 19-year-old, also known for his uneducated acting in skits, in a viral video, announced that he specifically wants a first-class graduate with a track record of straight A’s to be his PA.

Peller expressed his desire for an academically accomplished individual who could help him manage his career demands.

The TikTok star also assured prospective applicants that salary was not an issue, promising to “pay any amount” to the person who landed the job.

“I want to make a public announcement, God help me to do it. I need a PA, so I need a person who has straight A’s since they were born. I need an educated person, please. If you can, send me your certificate. If your bank job does not work out, you will enjoy working here,” he said.
