Nigerian Entertainment News: TG Omori Backs Peller Amid Criticism Over 30-Day Rant Challenge
Music video director TG Omori has stepped in to support TikTok personality Peller after the latter faced intense backlash for advising users to discontinue the viral 30-Day Rant Challenge
The trending challenge, which has gained widespread attention, encourages Nigerians to voice their frustrations about the nation’s economic hardships daily for 30 days.
Many see it as an avenue to air their grievances and demand accountability from leaders. However, Peller warned that sustained online protests could be perceived as provocative by the government and might even result in TikTok being banned in Nigeria.
He advised concerned individuals to redirect their activism to Instagram or opt for physical demonstrations instead.
Peller’s comments sparked divided opinions. While some agreed with his perspective, acknowledging the possible risks, others accused him of prioritizing TikTok’s safety over the struggles of Nigerians. The controversy escalated when an X (formerly Twitter) user openly declared, “I hate this guy called Peller.”
Reacting to the strong remark, TG Omori came to Peller’s defense, stating, “Hate is a strong word, He’s just a boy.” His response stirred further debate, with some commending him for standing by Peller, while others insisted the influencer deserved criticism for his standpoint.
The ongoing discussion underscores the rising tensions surrounding digital activism in Nigeria, with some advocating for unrestricted expression and others concerned about potential repercussions.
