Nigerians react to Ibrahim Chatta’s 2023 AMVCA snub

Nigerians have reacted to Ibrahim Chatta’s omission from the nominations for the prestigious Africa Magic Viewers Choice Awards, or AMVCA, due to his prominence in Nollywood.

Multichoice announced the nomination lists for the upcoming 2023 awards a few days ago. During the announcement, Nollywood stars such as Kunle Afolayan, Femi Adebayo, Funke Akindele, and others received significant nominations.

Funke Akindele received ten nominations for her box office smash, Battle on Buka Street. She was nominated in nine AMVCA categories for Battle on Buka Street, and one for her Africa Magic series, My Siblings & I.

A Nollywood movie influencer noticed Ibrahim Chatta’s omission from Femi Adebayo’s film King of Thieves’ nomination. His pivotal role was instrumental in the film’s success.

Sharing their thoughts online, many noted that Ibrahim Chatta is a brilliant actor who is good at interpreting different roles perfectly. He has delivered perfectly well since the first time he appeared on the screen as an actor.
