Popular Nigerian TikToker Habeeb Hamzat, aka Peller, has narrated his grass-to-grace story.
Peller was recently a guest on Wazobia FM and was asked to describe his journey to success in one minute.
The 21-year-old recounted how he used to be a carpenter who made things like wooden piggy banks, aka ‘kolo,’ before he started making beds. However, his boss soon chased him away over his inability to pay his work fees.
As Peller recounted the story, he broke down in tears. In his words.
“Before before I’m a furniture, I’m a carpenter. I’m doing furniture before, before I start to be doing carpenter. That time I was in Ikorodu. I been doing ‘kolo’ before, then I now start to do bed and everything. One day, my oga wanted to pursue me home, say I no pay work money, say me and my mama say we go pay… If I say I should start talking…”
Speaking further, Peller added that he also wanted to be a footballer, but his father beat him up for spending his days on the field
