I Sacked My Graduate Cameraman For Bringing Belongings To My House Claming He Was Chased Away After I Paid Him ₦500,000 Upfront – Peller

 Content creator and comedian Peller has revealed the reason behind his fallout with his former graduate cameraman, whom he reportedly paid ₦500,000 upfront before cutting ties with him.

The revelation was captured in a video shared on X (formerly Twitter) on Friday, during a conversation between Peller and fellow skit maker Carter Efe.

In the clip, Carter asked what had happened to the cameraman who had previously worked closely with Peller.

Responding to the question, Peller claimed the young man lacked practical intelligence despite having a degree, and eventually overstepped his boundaries by showing up at his home uninvited with his belongings.

“He doesn’t know book. I gave him five hundred thousand upfront,” Peller said.

“Then he came with a bag to my house saying he was chased from where he was staying, and that it was because I helped him. What kind of talk is that one?”

Peller emphasised that he wasn’t the landlord of the house and didn’t appreciate the cameraman assuming he could move in simply because he had offered him a job.

“I’m not the owner of that place. I don’t like him. Had it been that place is my place, normally I should be the one to tell him to come. I thought he had a house.”

Speaking further, Peller explained that he had intentionally hired a graduate to accompany him on travels — especially to countries like the United States — because he believed the person’s academic background would be useful in official settings.

“The guy knows books. The reason I employed a graduate is because if I go to some places like America… you know I’m not academically sound. I employed him so he could help me in places that matter.”
