Popular actor, Ibrahim Chatta, has shared with the public the story of his life and how he had a rough beginning on his way to success.
Chatta, in a recent interview with Biola Bayo on her ‘Talk to B’ podcast, revealed that he was once a bus conductor for eight years.
According to him, while growing up just to make a living, he also lived with nine people in a single room.
The actor revered for his versatility remembered the hard times when he often had to walk long distances, sometimes from Agege to Ikeja, a distance of some kilometres in Lagos, because he couldn’t afford fare.
He said:
“I lived in a room with 9 people and it was difficult.
I do walk from Agege to Ikeja back then.
I became a bus conductor later.
I did it for eight years of my life.
Working from Iyan Oba, Oshodi Eko, from one bus to another. I have worked so hard in life, may God crown my efforts.”
