  • “Civil Servants Can’t Afford Maldives” — Tunde Perry Defends Peller, Sparks Debate

    Content creator and socialite Tunde Perry has joined the conversation around Peller’s controversial remarks, backing the influencer while highlighting what he described as the harsh economic reality facing many civil servants in Nigeria.

    Context behind the reaction

    His comments come amid backlash against Peller following his Maldives trip with his girlfriend, Jarvis, which drew criticism from TVC News anchors and other Nigerians over statements linked to luxury and affordability.

    Tunde Perry argued that the outrage may be misplaced, insisting that Peller simply stated an uncomfortable truth about lifestyle gaps.

    What Tunde Perry said

    “Civil servants cannot go to Maldives to enjoy themselves like Peller did, truly. People are just blaming him for saying the truth, even the TV stations that are blaming him too,” he said.

    He maintained that income levels among many government workers make such trips unrealistic, reflecting broader economic challenges.

    Comparison that triggered reactions

    The socialite went further by comparing professions, claiming that some skilled workers now earn and live better than civil servants.

    “Barbers live a better life than civil servants. Civil servants, everybody is not your level. Give respect to whom it is due,” he added.

    Mixed reactions online

    His remarks have since sparked heated reactions across social media, with some Nigerians agreeing with his perspective while others criticised the comparison as dismissive.

    The debate continues to highlight growing concerns around income inequality, cost of living, and shifting perceptions of financial success across different professions in Nigeria.

    In a viral video circulating online, Peller questioned whether he should acquire TVC News, suggesting frustration over repeated criticism directed at him.

    The comment quickly gained traction, drawing widespread reactions across social media platforms.

    Calls out female anchor

    Peller specifically singled out a female anchor who had criticised him during a panel discussion, accusing her of constantly targeting him for attention.

    “Especially that lady that drags me all the time, if I buy TVC, I will first sack that lady. That lady wey dey always talk bad about me, if she no talk about me she no go trend,” he said.

    The remarks sparked further debate online, with users divided over his response to media criticism.

    Controversial warning

    The influencer also issued a strongly worded statement directed at the anchor, saying he would confront her physically when he returns to Nigeria.

    “Let me reach Nigeria first. I’ll branch TVC and I’ll come and slap your face in that office. You think it’s everybody that is your mate,” he added.

    The comment has continued to generate backlash and discussion across social media platforms.

    Defends Maldives comment

    Peller also revisited his earlier statement about the Maldives, maintaining that the destination is expensive and challenging TVC to support the critic he referred to.

    “TVC, that lady is working you, please sponsor her, let her come to Maldives. TVC, if it’s sure for you, sponsor that lady, make her come to Maldives,” he said.

    He further argued that sustaining such a lifestyle would be difficult even if she were sponsored.

    “See, if they sponsor you to come to Maldives, like for 5 months, dem no go fit pay you. They will just want use you to oppress me. Dem no go pay you because dem go know am for body…”
