Habeeb Hamzat, the TikTok sensation Nigerians know as Peller, has tugged at the nation’s heartstrings with a poignant return to the carpentry workshop in Ikorodu where he once laboured before fame came knocking.
The Instagram Reel, dropped on March 26, 2025, shows the Lagos-born star stepping into the dusty, tool-strewn space that marked his early grind.

Dressed in his laid-back style, Peller trades laughs and stories with his former boss and the workshop crew.
The video shows where he learnt the ropes of furniture-making, a skill he wielded before TikTok turned him into a household name. The workshop, alive with the clatter of hammers and the scent of sawdust, feels like a time capsule of Peller’s pre-fame life.

Peller patronises old friends’ businesses
Recall TheTalk.NG reported when rolled into Ikorodu to boost a mate’s clothing hustle.
He arrived with soldiers, dropped N500k on garms, and left locals buzzing with excitement.
It’s another chapter of Peller keeping it real with his people.
