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 actress Funke Akindele reveals that she stopped going to church and shared her reason why.
The actress shared that the reason for her choice was because of the media attention.
“Do not ask if I am going to church. I am not going to church. Anytime I go to church, it is me that they take pictures of. I will join online,” she said.
This stirred reactions among many as they shared it does not matter and physical church is better, while some shared that it is true that even churches use celebrities now.
Nigerian actress Priscilla Ojo speaks on her marriage and shares her views on some situations.
During a recent interview, the actress spoke about what it is like being with a famous person and the downsides that might come with it.
“If my husband decides to cheat, it’s his decision, but he’s a very disciplined man and I know he won’t. I don’t stress myself about who is around him or what people might do. At the end of the day, it comes down to the kind of man he is and the values he holds.”
“You can’t control everything. If someone wants to do something, they will do it. But I trust my husband, and that gives me peace. I believe in trust and understanding. That’s what keeps a relationship strong, not fear.”
Nigerian actress Lizzy Anjorin accepts boxing match against Iyabo Ojo.
The actress took to social media and shared, “As at today, 3rd May 2026, I accept your challenge.
“You (Paulo) and Chief Lawal will fight 10 rounds non-stop in the ring. Then the next day, it will be me and Iyabo Ojo in the ring.”
It can be noted that these two actresses have an on-and-off relationship and are in a long ongoing feud.
