Biola Bayo calls for prayers for Ibrahim Chatta as she opens up her difficult experience and rejection from her colleagues
Yoruba Nollywood actress Biola Bayo shared an emotional message for her colleague, Ibrahim Chatta, on her Instagram.
She opened up about the challenges she has faced in securing guests for her show, describing it as one of the most difficult experiences.
She expressed how the constant rejections, even from her friends, have hurt her, yet she holds no grudges or anger and focuses on improving herself each day.
Biola recalled how she had planned to film four episodes on Monday, but two guests canceled the day before the shoot. Feeling guided by her instincts, she decided to reach out to Ibrahim, despite her reservations due to his busy schedule and permanent residence in Oyo State. To her surprise, Ibrahim agreed and praised her, calling her a good person, which brought her to tears.
She referred to him as “one in a million,” celebrated the grace of God upon his life, and encouraged her fans to pray for him.
“Getting guests on the show has to be one of the most difficult experiences I’ve had, the constant rejection from people, even your buddies will say “NO” for different reasons.
Rejection can be very hurtful, but I have no anger or offense against anyone; instead, I concentrate on getting better daily till I become a force to be reckoned with. Hopefully when I get to the top someday by God’s grace “I will “
I would be shooting 4 episodes on Monday and 2 people canceled on me on Sunday, I had no hope of getting anyone within such short notice, and I was very unhappy considering the amount of money I would be losing if I didn’t shoot on Monday and of course, someone’s life was on line @abdul____orazaq I had to shoot.
On Sunday evening, I thought of whom to call for a long time till I heard in my spirit (call Ibrahim) that sounded impossible, knowing how busy he is and considering the fact that he doesn’t live in Lagos (from Oyo? How?) I took the bold step and called. Fortunately, he picked me, and he was very happy to hear from me after a long time.
He asked about the show, and I told him some of the challenges I’ve been facing was getting people to come. Then he said, “Why would anyone say no to you? You’re a good person. I was close to tears, and then he said, “You know what? I’ll come tomorrow; I’ll cancel some appointments for you. I don’t even have what to wear in Lagos, but I’ll get something to wear and make sure to be there before I leave Lagos tomorrow.
It sounded too good to be true; I could not believe my ears, but yeah. Here we are today.
He even asked people to help me on the show without discussing that with me.
Ajadi! You’re one in a million, I celebrate the grace of God upon your life.
I am thankful for this honor; I will never forget it in a hurry. Thank you for doing this with me.
I pray you will never die untimely, you will never weep over everything giving you joy.
E o ni se aseti lailai, Olorun o ni koju aimose si yin
E o ni je egun keyin eran.
Ore ofe a po si fun yin lagbara Olorun.
Thank you so so much Abiodun Ajadi @ibrahimchatta_lordthespis o ni jabo baba mi.
Please just say a word of prayer for @ibrahimchatta_lordthespis on my behalf”.
