From Bus Conductor to Nollywood Star: Ibrahim Chatta Reveals His Tough Journey
Nollywood star Ibrahim Chatta recently opened up about the difficult path he had to take before finding success in the movie industry.
In a conversation on the Talk to B Podcast, hosted by fellow actress Biola Bayo, Ibrahim detailed the immense challenges he faced while trying to survive in Lagos.
Sharing a glimpse of his early life, the talented actor revealed that he once lived in a cramped single-room apartment with nine other people.
The struggle to make ends meet was so intense that he often walked long distances, particularly from Agege to Ikeja.
For eight years, Ibrahim worked tirelessly as a bus conductor, moving through some of Lagos’ busiest routes, such as Iyana Oba, Oshodi, and Lagos Island (popularly known as Eko).
“I’ve worked from Iyana Oba to Oshodi, then Eko. It wasn’t easy,” he confessed. “I’ve worked so hard in life. May God crown my effort.”
Lagos, known for its vibrant yet chaotic transport system, is not an easy place to hustle, especially as a conductor.
The routes Ibrahim mentioned are some of the most hectic in the city. For context, Iyana Oba is a bustling area near the Lagos-Badagry Expressway, known for its gridlocks and crowds.
Oshodi, a major transport hub, is infamous for its chaos, with buses, traders, and commuters filling every available space.
Meanwhile, Eko (Lagos Island) represents the heart of the city’s business activities, full of daily hustlers trying to earn a living.
Nigerian singer Harry song speaks on the rising insecurity in the country and shared that increasing the security income can help improve their performance in securing the country.
The singer took to social media and urged the government “TO MR PRESIDENT. IF YOU REALLY, TRULY WANNA END INSECURITY IN NIGERIA? Start by increasing the salary and allowances of the armed forces. The salary of the army, the navy, the air force, the Nigerian Police Force is too small, too shameful. Increase their salary, this job should be worth dying for. Increase their salaries ooooooo pls and pls.”
Nigerian singer, Peter Okoye from the former duo P-Square, shares his greatest fear. During a recent interview, the singer spoke about his fears and revealed that he is not afraid of death.
Instead, he said he is scared of poverty and has this fear because he has experienced it before. “I am not afraid of death. The only thing I am afraid of in this life is poverty, of being broke.
“I have tasted it [poverty] before. I have been in our house with my parents and siblings, and a bulldozer came and demolished it.”
Popular Nigerian singer, Davido, makes headlines for his gesture of goodwill. It can be noted that during the afternoon performance, the singer paused for one minute of silence to honor his colleague Wizkid’s mother.
The singer paused during his performance and said “Personally, I have lost many loved ones, people close to me, so I understand how Wizkid is feeling right now. May his mother, our mother because she was dear to me, rest in peace.”
This gesture touched many fans, as they were in awe of the singer showing a kind heart despite the usual rivalry between their fan bases.
