Nigerian skit maker Peller has urged Nigerians to rethink the culture of working endlessly without taking time to enjoy the rewards of their labour.
The content creator, who is currently on honeymoon with his wife, Jarvis, said people should deliberately create time for vacations, relaxation and experiences rather than spending their entire lives chasing money.
Peller shared the advice while reflecting on what he described as a disturbing situation involving the family of the late skit maker Destiny Boy.
According to him, the reported attempt by Destiny Boy’s sister to gain access to her late brother’s phone and money highlights how quickly attention can shift from mourning a loved one to dealing with the wealth they left behind.
Peller argued that such situations should serve as a reminder that money is only useful to the person who is alive to enjoy it.
“Late Destiny Boy’s sister is taking his phone to places where they can unlock it so she can take all his money. They have forgotten the person who died and want to enjoy his money,” he said.
The skit maker therefore encouraged people to spend part of what they earn on themselves, including travelling and taking well-deserved breaks.
He said there was little value in spending an entire lifetime working, only to leave behind wealth that others may eventually enjoy.
“Enjoy your money and go on vacation. If you kpai without enjoying your money, your family will chop your money without looking back.”

Explaining his decision to take his wife on honeymoon, Peller said the trip was part of his own approach to enjoying life while he has the opportunity.
“That is why I took my wife on this honeymoon vacation. The only thing Black people do is work, work, and work without enjoying their money.”
Peller’s message comes amid growing conversations about work-life balance, financial planning and the importance of creating meaningful experiences while pursuing financial success.
For him, the lesson is straightforward: earning money matters, but finding time to actually live should matter too.
His honeymoon with Jarvis, he suggested, is his own reminder that life should not be reduced to the endless pursuit of money.
