How Ibrahim Chatta kept me in Nollywood – Apa
By Tosin Brown
Nigerian actor Sanusi Izihaq, popularly known as Apa, has revealed how film star Ibrahim Chatta helped him remain in Nollywood.
Apa, who started as a Continuity Manager before becoming an actor, shared his experience while discussing the challenges he faced in the movie industry with actress Biola Bayo on the Talk to B podcast.
“Big shoutout to Ibrahim Chatta—I would have left Nollywood if not for him. I remember when a director, who had never met me but had only heard about me, vowed to deal with me. This was someone I had never worked with, but I was eager to.
“However, things got tense, and because I despise a toxic working environment, I became emotional and started crying.
“Ibrahim Chatta saw me crying on two or three occasions and asked what happened. I told him I wanted to leave the industry, but he always advised and encouraged me instead.
“I have quit filmmaking about three times, but he called me back to work on his projects to ensure I didn’t leave,” he said.
