“How can Peller and Jarvis be your role model as a Muslim??” — Lady questions Muslims listening to influencers
A lady has sparked discussion online after questioning Muslims who regard social media influencers Peller and Jarvis as role models.
In a viral video, the woman expressed concern over the influence of online personalities on young Muslims, particularly those who listen to their opinions or look up to them.
The lady specifically questioned why a Muslim would choose Peller and Jarvis as role models, suggesting that followers of the Islamic faith should be more deliberate about the personalities they emulate.
Lady challenges influence of social media personalities
Speaking in the video, the woman asked, “How can Peller and Jarvis be your role model as a Muslim?? Why will you be listening to these influencers as a Muslim??”
Her comments have drawn attention because of the growing influence of social media personalities among young Nigerians, with many influencers building large audiences through entertainment, lifestyle and personal content.
The woman’s remarks appeared to question whether popularity on social media should automatically make an individual someone worthy of emulation, particularly when religious values are also an important consideration.
Comment sparks online conversation
The video has generated conversation around the responsibilities of influencers and the standards people should consider when choosing role models.
While some social media users may agree with the lady’s concerns, others could argue that following or listening to an influencer does not necessarily mean adopting every aspect of that person’s lifestyle or beliefs.
The debate has therefore centred on the difference between enjoying someone’s content and regarding that person as a role model.
