Yoruba Nollywood star, Ibrahim Chatta has described his absence at the just concluded AMVCA Award as mere conspiracy.
Fielding questions on a radio programme that he reposted on his Instagram page, Chatta stated clearly that he was not bothered that non of his work was nominated by the organisers, but he felt slighted for not being invited.
“My exclusion from the nomination list didn’t make me feel bad because no matter how hard you think you are working, your mates are also working, and the best has to be picked every year. But my problem is that they don’t invite me and that looks like a conspiracy against me.
“I understand that it’s not everyone that gets nominated into the categories, but at least they’re supposed to invite me, but they don’t. So, I do feel like – is it that my works are not worthy enough? Because I used to see my younger colleagues, including those that just joined Nollywood, all showing off in different outfits at the event.”
“I will receive an Oscar before I leave this world. I don’t want any award to disturb my skills or my work. When you start thinking about not receiving an award, it makes you weary, and I don’t want to be. Oscar is my target
