Popular activist Deji Adeyanju has strongly criticised TikToker Peller after the influencer urged Nigerians to stop the ongoing #30DayRants challenge on the platform.
Recall that during a recent livestream, Peller urged Nigerians to stop criticising bad governance under the #30DayRants challenge.
He expressed fears that the platform could be banned in Nigeria if the criticism continues, emphasising that he could not risk it, as TikTok is his source of livelihood.
His comments sparked backlash, with many describing them as “childish and selfish.”
Joining the chorus of criticisms, Adeyanju stated that Peller has no right whatsoever to dictate how Nigerians express their frustration.
Sharing a picture of Peller and his fellow TikToker on his Facebook page, Adeyanju wrote: “Who is this boy saying people should not rant on TikTok? Is TikTok your father’s house? Shouldn’t you be in school instead of on TikTok? Are you not too young to be doing TikTok? You have no right whatsoever to tell Nigerians how to express their frustration!”
