Ibrahim Chatta has responded to the Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards’ (AMVCA) persistent exclusion.
The owner of a film town was asked about being passed over by the prize organisers during his appearance as a guest on skit creator Isbae U’s show.
He clarified that honours don’t really interest him. He claims that he would have nominated one of his films for a nomination if he had been.

In his words: “I am not interested, why will I be praying for what I am not interested in?. Whenever I am interested, I will submit a film and give it to them to see.”
“I have thought about it, why don’t they invite me because I see younger people attending and winning. Do you know how many awards are in my house?”
Chatta’s remarks have resonated with fans and industry peers, many of whom took to social media to express their support and admiration for his work.
His perspective highlights a broader conversation about recognition and the dynamics within the Nigerian film industry.

“😂😂😂😂 we can all clap from the television…. Validation comes from those who know the worth and value of your skills and talents. In short ‘amvca’ is not his focus. His gaze is set on higher conquests. He knows what to do if he wants amvca award… he’s just not ready 👍🏾💯”
