Nigerian actor Sanusi Izihaq, better known by his stage name Apa, has revealed his reasons for remaining in Nollywood.

The actor, who was formerly a continuity manager, revealed this when discussing some of the difficulties he encountered in the film business.

In an interview with actress Biola Bayo on the Talk to B podcast, Apa talked about the difficulties he has encountered and gave actor Ibrahim Chatta credit for keeping him going in his acting career.

“Big shout out to Ibrahim chatta, I would have left Nollywood if not for him. I remember when a director who had never met me before but only heard about me vowed to deal with me. This is someone I never worked with, but I was eager to.

“However things got a bit tense and I despised a toxic working environment, so I become emotional and I started crying

“Ibrahim Chatta has met me crying two to three occasions, and asked what happened. I told him that I would leave the industry but he always advised and encouraged me instead.

“I have left film making like 3 different occasions but he called me back to work on his project to ensure I don’t leave,” he said.
