In a bold and candid video shared on X (formerly Twitter), renowned TikToker Peller responded to critics who suggested he should wait longer to get married. Recently engaged to his partner, Jarvis, Peller passionately defended his decision to marry young, arguing that the common advice to delay marriage often stems from financial struggles rather than genuine concern.
Addressing those questioning his readiness, Peller stated, “Let me tell you something, for all of you saying, ‘he’s young, he’s getting married,’ the truth is, your father and mother lied to you about waiting until a certain age to get married. The reason behind this is poverty.”
He went on to emphasize that the hesitation surrounding early marriage isn’t about maturity, but financial insecurity. “It’s poverty, I swear to Almighty God,” he asserted. “They tell you to marry when you’re older, not realizing that by then, you’ll have little money. No, it’s because of poverty.”
Peller’s words sparked a wave of reactions, with followers expressing various opinions. Some sympathized with his perspective, while others warned him about the challenges of marriage. “No forget na poor people get true love pass … the marriage wey money organize,” one comment read, while another user cautioned, “The boy is too young to understand the shege wey dey marriage.”
The debate quickly unfolded in the comment section, with some urging Peller to consider his decision carefully, while others applauded his confidence. The conversation reveals the tension between personal choices and societal expectations regarding marriage and money, especially for young individuals in the public eye.
