Why I struggled academically – Popular Nigerian TikToker Peller

Popular Nigerian TikTok star Peller has opened up about the struggles he faced during his formative years, blaming his academic woes on his parents’ divorce.

In a conversation with broadcaster Frank Edoho, Peller revealed how the separation of his parents left a gap in discipline and structure, contributing to his consistent failure in school.

“When I was in secondary school, I used to fail my exams. My classmates’ fathers would punish them for their low marks, but no one punished me at home because my parents were divorced. I was staying with my mother and even she was hustling,” he shared.

The emotional confession has since gone viral, stirring mixed reactions on social media.

Here are some of the reactions:

• @ololade63: “While your mum was hustling, you were busy failing.”

• @_damhii: “Frank just dey shade him!”

• @therealmacrock: “This is heartbreaking.”

• @jamesgodwin504: “What’s going on here? ”
