Peller announces plans to host Wole Soyinka on livestream

Popular Nigerian streamer and content creator Habeeb Hamzat, popularly known as Peller, has announced plans to host Nobel laureate Professor Wole Soyinka on his livestream, promising viewers a session featuring “proper English” and “grammar”.

Peller disclosed the plan during a livestream on Tuesday, adding that he would provide more details about the proposed session at a later date.

“I want to do a stream with Mr. Wole Soyinka. I will announce it soon and tell you guys what the plan is. It will be a proper English day on that day. You will hear some ‘grammar’ that day,” he said.

The proposed collaboration has attracted attention because of the contrast between Peller’s informal, humorous streaming style and Soyinka’s reputation as one of Africa’s most distinguished literary figures.

Peller has gained popularity through livestreams featuring spontaneous conversations, comedy and interactions with celebrities and fellow content creators.

Soyinka, a celebrated Nigerian playwright, poet and novelist, became the first African to win the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1986.

A livestream featuring the two personalities could offer viewers a different experience, combining Peller’s entertainment-driven approach with Soyinka’s literary background and command of language.

However, Peller did not announce a date for the proposed session, saying further details would be communicated later.

It also remains unclear whether Soyinka has accepted the invitation, as no confirmation of his participation was provided in Peller’s remarks.
