Ibrahim Chatta has reacted to being constantly shunned by the Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards (AMVCA)
The who owns a film village was a guest on skit maker Isbae U’s podcast, where he was asked about being overlooked by the award organisers
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.
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?”
Fans were impressed by his response and wished him well, expressing hope that he would soon clinch an award

nollywoodmoviesreview: “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”
