“Very Rude” — TVC News Blasts Peller Over ₦30m Maldives Comment on Nigerian Civil Servants

The media outlet described the comment as “very rude,” arguing that it downplays the economic realities faced by many workers in Nigeria. The remark quickly sparked widespread reactions, with many Nigerians expressing outrage and disbelief over the suggestion.
Critics pointed out that the average income of civil servants in Nigeria makes such a luxury expense unrealistic, highlighting the growing disconnect between public commentary and everyday financial struggles.
