Groundnut Seller Faces Threats After N1m Gift from Peller

On Monday, 31 August 2026, Nigerian content creator Peller donated N1 million to a groundnut seller during an Instagram livestream after she shared her story of starting her business with just N3,000. The moment gained viral attention, particularly due to the daughter's muted reaction, which frustrated Peller.

Following the donation, the groundnut seller reported that area boys visited her home multiple times, inquiring about her and the money she received. She described their behavior as erratic and threatening, prompting her and her family to leave their home for safety.

The situation escalated to the point where they sought shelter elsewhere. The original livestream and the subsequent threats highlighted the challenges faced by individuals in modest businesses when unexpected financial windfalls attract negative attention.
