Nollywood actor Ibrahim Chatta has set the internet buzzing with his show-stopping appearance at the popular Ojude Oba festival in Ijebu Ode.
In a video making the rounds online, the talented actor had appeared at the event with his horse. In the clip, Ibrahim, who owns a film village, arrived at the event with his horse and his troop.
The actor impressed the public as he showed off his horse-riding skills to the crowd’s cheers.
In 2024, Ibrahim addressed claims of being an underrated actor in Nollywood. He stated that, contrary to popular belief, he wasn’t underrated, as he is a lucky person who has enjoyed so much Grace from God. Ibrahim revealed that he is one of the highest-paid Yoruba-speaking actors, and his colleagues know that his charges are high.
Elsewhere in the interview, Ibrahim had opened up on his past struggles as a bus conductor. He revealed that he once lived in a room with 9 people, and it was difficult. He said he would walk from Agege to Ikeja and even worked as a bus conductor for eight years.
Recall that in 2023, Nigerians had angrily reacted to the snub of Ibrahim Chatta by AMVCA, as he wasn’t nominated despite his role in Femi Adebayo’s film King of Thieves, which contributed greatly to the success of the movie.
Speaking out for himself, Chatta stated that he wasn’t bothered by the lack of acknowledgment as he knows there are lots of actors who are better than him. However, his major concern was why he didn’t get invited to the ceremony, but his junior colleagues scored the invites.
In recognition of his hardwork, the Ooni of Ife had honored him with an award. The award was to recognize him for his incredible dedication to his cultural heritage.
His colleague, Odunlade Adekola had honored him with a recognition award for his contribution to the Yoruba movie industry.
The award-winning actor was left humbled following a visit by the Oyo State National Police Force (NPF) to his Film village. He shared a video of their visit, as he expressed how humbled he was to receive them. He revealed that they discussed the security of their community, curbing piracy, and sensitive movie props around Oyo State with ease.
