What Is Love ?

  The story of Peller and Jarvis unfolds like a tragic reel gone viral. Habeeb Hamzat , better known as Peller, the 19-year-old Lagos sensation whose live streams blend comedy, chaos, and unfiltered youth, has become the unwitting protagonist in a narrative that's equal parts fairy tale and cautionary tale. His girlfriend, Jarvis—real name Fatima Abdullahi , the 20-year-old AI enthusiast and content creator whose sharp wit and ethereal vibe made her a social media darling—embodied the dream of digital romance. Together, they were the Gen Z power couple: collabs that racked up millions of views, inside jokes that felt like ours, and a love story scripted for the algorithm. But on December 14, 2025, that script flipped. What started as a lovers' quarrel escalated into a public meltdown, culminating in Peller's harrowing suicide attempt by crashing his newly acquired Mercedes-Benz SUV into a barrier on the Lekki-Epe Expressway .

The triggering title to this blog post comes from the book " White Malice " by Susan Williams . Susan Williams' White Malice: The CIA and the Neocolonisation of Africa (2021) is a meticulously researched exposé that dismantles the myth of Africa's post-colonial failures as self-inflicted wounds. Instead, Williams argues that the continent's democratic aspirations were systematically sabotaged by the United States through the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), in a covert campaign of neocolonization driven by Cold War paranoia, resource greed, and racial arrogance.  How does all of this tie in with the alleged claims of kidnapping and robberies in Ghana going viral on tiktok by Ms Mckay? Stay with me on this one...  "White Malice" evokes the deliberate malice of Western powers—particularly the U.S.—in strangling African independence at birth. Williams coins this phrase to contrast with the era's optimistic "Year of Africa" in 196...
