Nigerian influencer and TikToker, Habeeb Hamzat, popularly known as Peller, has become a topic of discussion on social media following the resurfacing of his West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WAEC) result, days after he announced his admission to study Law at a Nigerian university.
Peller recently shared a post on his Instagram page celebrating his admission, stating that he would no longer be described as an illiterate.
“I won’t be called illiterate again. Very soon, it will be Lawyer Peller,” he had written.
His post quickly drew reactions from both supporters and critics.
Although the influencer did not reveal the name of the university that offered him admission, reports circulating online claim that he was admitted into Caleb University, Lagos.
After the announcement, some social media users questioned how Peller gained admission, with claims that he had not written WAEC. In response, the influencer shared an image of his WAEC certificate to address the concerns.
However, the released result triggered further debate online after users examined the grades listed on the certificate.
According to the WAEC result shared, Peller reportedly recorded an E grade in Yoruba, while his Literature in English, a key subject required for admission into Law programmes, was marked as cancelled.
This development led to renewed questions about how the influencer met the academic requirements for studying Law, with many users calling for clarity on the admission process.

Reacting to the post, a social media user identified as @AsakyGRN wrote:
“This is Peller’s WAEC result. Peller really tried o, but how did he gain admission into Caleb University if his Literature in English was cancelled?”
The issue has continued to spark conversations across social media, with some users defending Peller while others called on the university to clarify the situation.
As of the time of filing this report, neither Peller has reacted nor Caleb University releasing an official statement addressing the concerns linking the resurfaced result to eligibility for admission.
