“I don’t ever allow myself to be broke below ₦100 million. Even if anybody wants to d+e in the family, I won’t touch it. I always make sure my money never drops below ₦100 million.
“There are times I’ll need urgent money when I’m broke, and I’ll just take a music promotion and ask for like ₦3 million just to do it. But that saved 100million, I won’t touch it, because once you start, you’ll continue spending,” he said.
Peller’s comment has sparked heated discussions on social media, as numerous people expressed their views on the trade-off between financial discipline and family obligations.
Advocates claim that upholding strict financial limits is essential for enduring stability, particularly in a tough economic climate.
Critics argue that the position is overly inflexible and fails to acknowledge the realities of familial obligations, especially during emergencies when prompt financial assistance can be crucial.
Peller’s remarks question this standard, prompting wider discussions on sustainability and individual boundaries in a context where informal support systems frequently substitute for institutional safety nets
