Comedian and actor Woli Arole has advised TikToker Peller after his attempts to meet American streamer IShowSpeed in Lagos failed.

Arole, on Instagram, praised Peller’s audacity but advised him to get solid management, seek education, and surround himself with wise counsel.

He wrote, “My words to @peller089. I celebrate your audacity despite you being BIG here in Nigeria, you wanted to meet “Ishow Speed” when he came to Nigeria, that’s some guts there!. Despite what seems like an embarrassment, you still tried again. A lot of people bashing Peller don’t even have half of his influence, money, or reach, so we must talk to him with grace, not just to rubbish him.

“My candid Advice to you, Peller: Please get a solid Management. Please seek education; it will solidify your brand. Please have elderly people in your team. Seek solid Branding. Overall, don’t stop. Be careful how you talk; words carry power. Be cautious of pride; it can make anyone fall. Learn to listen when you’re talked to, too. Life is more than fame. Peller, you’re our goat here. God bless you!!!”

He reposted an old video of Peller saying he’d ignore IShowSpeed if he came to Nigeria, cautioning Peller to be mindful of his words and actions, citing the dangers of pride.

Peller’s attempts to meet IShowSpeed involved running alongside his convoy, trying to climb a vehicle, and riding a horse through traffic.

The Cubana Chief Priest also defended Peller, saying there’s no shame in trying to achieve goals.
