Popular Nigerian TikTok personality, Peller, has stirred online reactions after revealing the emotional journey behind his conversion from Islam to Christianity. The social media sensation made the disclosure on Tuesday, July 23, during a live interactive session with his fans.

While responding to a viewer who referred to him as a Muslim, Peller clarified that he is no longer a follower of Islam. “I’m not a Muslim. I go to church very well,” he said during the session, making it clear that his spiritual allegiance has shifted.

Peller explained that his decision to leave Islam was deeply rooted in a painful experience from his early years. He recounted how his time in Quranic school was marred by severe corporal punishment that left him traumatized. “I was beaten severely when I was young at the Quranic school. That’s why I stopped going,” he confessed.

According to Peller, this negative encounter with Islamic religious education created a permanent emotional scar, which played a significant role in his decision to embrace Christianity later in life. While he did not detail the specific path or denomination he now follows, Peller’s emphasis on regular church attendance suggests a strong Christian identity.

His revelation has since sparked mixed reactions online, especially among fans who were unaware of his religious background or the personal trials he endured as a child. Some commended his honesty and courage, while others called for sensitivity when discussing religious transitions.

This disclosure comes just days after Peller’s engagement was confirmed by his girlfriend, Jarvis, further thrusting the couple into public attention. The pair have recently become a topic of interest on social media, particularly following Jarvis’ emotional revelations about their relationship.

As Peller continues to grow his following, his personal story adds a deeper, more human layer to his public persona. His willingness to share such a vulnerable experience highlights the long-lasting impact early life experiences can have on an individual's beliefs and identity.

While faith is a personal journey, Peller's story reminds us of the importance of compassion, both in teaching religion and in understanding the choices others make based on their life experiences.
