Me that I dont watch Afmag but anytime I see Odunlade on set, I will just leave it there. If its babalawo, pastor, wealthy/poor man he's acting…I know I'm destined for unlimited laughter. Who is Ibrahim Chatta again abeg😒😒😒

If you watch yoruba movies well enough and you fully understand the concept of acting, you will never compare Ibrahim Chatta to Odunlade Adekola. Ibrahim Chatta is nobody's mate in that industry, Odunlade is great and I enjoy him but Chatta is just something else! No argue am!

Sincerely Odunlade Adekola and Ibrahim Chatta are on different levels.
Many people don’t know this because comedy is on the forefront.
For people that have real knowledge and understanding of character interpretations, will know better.
It’s like comparing Baba Sala and Albert Ogunde. Or Ishola Ogunsola and Duro ladipo They are masters in their different fields so stop.
For the few ones that have understanding in acting, Ibrahim Chatta interprets traditional and epic tales more, he could take any character as well except comic. While Odunlade Adekola can interprete any character as well but professionals/analyst will give him 90% in epic/ deep traditional character interpretation and score Chatta Ibrahim 95% in the same epic/deep traditional character interpretation. So everyone has their area of prowess.
Odunlade Adekola is the King of Memes no doubt, but Ibrahim Chatta too is the King of Epic and esoteric character representation. Don’t compare, they are not the same.
