Nollywood actor Ibrahim Chatta has finally addressed being overlooked at the 2025 Africa Magic Viewers Choice Awards (AMVCA).

The award ceremony took place on Saturday, May 10, 2025, with many celebrities in attendance.

Chatta, a seasoned actor who has consistently been ignored by the award organisers over the years, shared his thoughts during an interview.

The movie star, who owns a film village, was a guest on skit maker Adebayo Ridwan Abidemi, aka Isbae U’s podcast, Curiosity Made Me Ask.

The content creator asked him why the AMVCA organisers had continually overlooked him.

Chatta speaks about AMVCA snub

In response, Chatta admitted that he has asked himself the same question repeatedly.

He explained that he is not particularly interested in awards. According to him, if he had been, he would have submitted one of his films to be considered for a nomination.

Chatta then asked his host if he knew how many awards he had already won. He noted that because he is not a social person, the organisers might assume he would not attend the ceremony.

Highlighting some of his accolades, the actor revealed that he had received an award from an international organisation, one from Nobel Laureate Professor Wole Soyinka, and another from his colleague Odunlade Adekola, who had honoured individuals he deemed deserving.

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?"
