Ibrahim Chatta, a Nollywood entertainer and movie producer, has conceded that he exited secondary school to seek after a profession in acting.
Chatta, who started acting in 1985, expressed this in a new interview with BBC Yoruba.
The film entertainer conceded that as a young fellow, he oftentimes skipped classes to act in venues with his partners.
Chatta uncovered that his commitment to theater performing constrained him to leave his secondary school education.
The entertainer, who is in his fifties, expressed that he proceeds to self-teach himself through web-based courses and projects. Ibrahim Chatta made sense of:
“I started acting very early in my life. I knew I was going to go into acting as a kid. Acting took a lot from me. It did not allow me to go to school.
”My parents would think I was in school those days but I would have followed my colleagues for what we call travel theatre. It has now transitioned into filmmaking. That was how some of our bosses started their acting career from the stage into cinema movies.
“Although, I am doing some courses in adult education that are related to acting, I did not finish my secondary school education. The English language is like every other language. It can be taught and can be heard. The English language I speak is self-taught and I love reading so much. When I was little and I bought puff-puff, I used to read the paper wrap. I read about the English Language from the books.”
Chatta rose to unmistakable quality following his presentation in the film ‘Aiyekooto’ (2012). He has likewise acted in movies like ‘Atini O’go’ (2006), ‘Mafi Wonmi’ (2008), ‘Olo’ (2008), ‘Mafi Sere’ (2009), ‘Orere Laye’ (2009), and ‘Ebere Adigun’ (2010).
