Nigerian actor Ibrahim Chatta has invested a staggering N1.4 billion in his film village project without taking a loan.
The film village, located in Oyo State, spans 74 acres and features traditional-style houses, a stable for horses, and other amenities showcasing Yoruba culture.
The project, which took nearly four years to complete due to financial constraints, is a significant contribution to the Nigerian entertainment industry.
The film village provides a unique setting for film productions and demonstrates Ibrahim Chatta ‘s commitment to promoting Yoruba culture and supporting the growth of the Nigerian cinema.
While welcoming some guests, Ibrahim Chatta revealed that he spent a whooping sum of N1.4 billion on the film village without taking loans.
Reactions to his investment have been mixed, with some people expressing surprise and skepticism at the amount spent.
However, others have praised his dedication and commitment to the project.
They defended him against critics, stating that the amount is plausible given the current economic situation and the cost of building materials.:
