Build My film village in Oyo state.

Veteran Nollywood actor, Ibrahim Chatta, has opened up on the incredible story behind how he made the money to build his viral N1.4billion film village in Oyo state.

In a recent video that has captured the public's attention, Ibrahim Chatta disclosed that he financed the N1.4 billion project without taking any loans or grants.

According to the actor, he obtained the substantial sum of money from an unexpected source of income during the COVID-19 lockdown.

Ibrahim Chatta, who has been making headlines for his grand film village, explained that he turned to providing personalized shout-outs during the lockdown while collaborating with fellow actor Tayo Sobola.

Each shout-out reportedly earned him about N300,000, and the high demand for these requests contributed significantly to his financial success.

The actor further revealed that he had no savings and was struggling with incomplete property projects before the film village.

He described how he had been praying for funds to finish the construction of one such property, which was stalled at the lintel level.

Ibrahim Chatta attributed his breakthrough to divine intervention, expressing gratitude to God for the timely assistance.
