Baba Oloto Says Ibrahim Chatta Earns ₦5 Million Per Day, Calls Him Nollywood’s Highest-Paid Actor
Veteran Nollywood actor Mustapha Bakare Otolo, popularly known as Baba Oloto, has made a bold claim about the earnings of his colleague, Ibrahim Chatta. According to Baba Oloto, Chatta is currently the highest-paid actor in Nollywood, reportedly charging as much as ₦5 million per day for movie roles. He also disclosed that the actor demands ₦29 million from filmmakers who wish to use his film village for production, a figure he described as unmatched in the industry. Baba Oloto noted that while Chatta’s success reflects his hard work and influence, many older actors are not as fortunate, earning as little as ₦250,000 per scene. He lamented that the wide income gap has left many veteran performers struggling financially despite their years of contribution to Nollywood. “Ibrahim Chatta is the highest-paid actor presently. He charges ₦5 million per day and ₦29 million for using his film village in movies,” Baba Oloto revealed. Ibrahim Chatta charges 5M per day & he’s the highest paid actor right now in the industry. – Baba Otolo 🥹 pic.twitter.com/4nQfoXiqSD — Depegan of Lagos 🇳🇬🇺🇸 (@Mautiin01) October 30, 2025

Geh Geh Claims Wizkid Uses Smart Collaboration Tactics To Stay Relevant
Content creator Geh Geh has shared what he believes is Wizkid’s secret to remaining at the top of the music scene. In a video posted on his X page, Geh Geh alleged that Wizkid maintains his relevance through calculated collaborations and strategic alliances — often orchestrated through his longtime associate, DJ Tunez. He explained that when a new artist becomes the talk of the industry, Wizkid doesn’t reach out directly. Instead, he works through DJ Tunez, who sets up the collaboration. “If an artist is trending and everyone wants to feature them, Wizkid doesn’t go straight to them,” Geh Geh said. “He contacts DJ Tunez, and Tunez links him with the artist. If the song doesn’t perform well, people say it’s Tunez’s track. But if it becomes a hit, Wizkid gets the credit.” Only Wizkid understand this secret ☝️🏧 pic.twitter.com/Mq30w8uubx — GehGeh (@official_Gegeh) October 31, 2025
Adekunle Gold Says He Still Experiences Painful Sickle Cell Crises
Nigerian singer Adekunle Gold has opened up about his lifelong battle with sickle cell disease, revealing that he continues to experience painful crises despite managing the condition for decades. In a recent video interview shared on social media, the 38-year-old artist recounted the challenges of living with the illness since childhood. “I still have crises,” Adekunle Gold said, explaining that he has been on medication since the age of five. “Unfortunately, both my parents have sickle cell, and that’s how I came into the world. I first understood what sickle cell was when I kept falling ill, with pains in my joints, legs, and sometimes my stomach. It’s really intense,” he added. He recalled one of his earliest memories of the disease. “The first time I noticed it was the night I fell sick and my dad wasn’t home. My mum carried me on her back, and we walked miles to the hospital. I must have been around five or seven. That was when the doctor told me I would need folic acid and B complex for the rest of my life. And that’s how it’s been ever since.” Adekunle Gold noted that while he still experiences crises occasionally, they are more manageable now thanks to careful self-care. “I still have crises once in a while, but not as severe as when I was a child. I’ve learned to take better care of myself, and I’m grateful to God for the resources to do so,” he said. The singer also used the interview to emphasize the importance of genotype testing. “My mission is to raise more awareness because many people don’t know about sickle cell, and relevant organisations aren’t doing enough,” he said. He explained, “Sickle cell is most prevalent in Nigeria and occurs when both parents are SS. That’s why knowing your genotype is crucial — to prevent bringing more children into the world who might suffer from this condition.”
