Nollywood actor Ibrahim Chatta has opened up on his past struggles as a bus conductor.

In an interview with his colleague, Biola Bayo, for her Talk to B podcast, 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.

The talented actor noted how he has worked so hard in life and prayed that God crowns his efforts.

“I lived in a room with 9 people and it was difficult. I do walk from Agege to Ikeja back then. I became a bus conductor later. I did it for eight years of my life. Working from Iyan Oba, Oshodi Eko, from one bus to another. I have worked so hard in life, may God crown my effort”.


Ibrahim has no doubt come a long way in his career. Just a few days back, his colleague, Odunlade Adekola had honored him with a recognition award for his contribution to the Yoruba movie industry.

Last month, Ibrahim 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.

Last year, 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. Sharing their thoughts online, many noted that Ibrahim Chatta is a brilliant actor who is good at interpreting different roles perfectly. He has delivered perfectly well since the first time he appeared on the screen as an actor.

Speaking out for himself, Chatta lamented over how AMVCA didn’t give him an invite to the prestigious award ceremony. He 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.
