A woman has ignited a debate online after criticising Muslims who see social media personalities Peller and Jarvis as role models.

In a popular video, the woman emphasised her concern about the influence of online personalities on young Muslims, particularly those who listen to or like them.

The lady explicitly asked why a Muslim would chose Peller and Jarvis as role models, implying that adherents of the Islamic faith should be more selective about the people they emulate.

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 statements have sparked interest due to the growing importance of social media stars among young Nigerians, with many influencers amassing big fans through entertainment, lifestyle, and personal material.

The woman’s words appeared to put into question whether someone’s popularity on social media inherently makes them worthy of emulation, especially when religious principles are taken into account.

The film has sparked debate about influencers’ duties and the criteria people should use when selecting role models.

While some social media users may concur with the lady’s concerns, others may counter that following or listening to an influencer does not imply adopting every part of that person’s lifestyle or ideas.

The issue has so focused on the distinction between liking someone’s material and viewing that person as a role model.
