Nollywood actor George Oamen has shared a touching story about how fellow actor Ibrahim Chatta generously supported him during a difficult health crisis.
In a video interview uploaded to Jeff Owolewa TV’s official YouTube channel on December 16, 2025, Oamen recounted approaching Chatta for financial help to cover traditional treatment for his legs, as surgery was not yet possible.
He explained that he visited Chatta at his film village and initially requested ₦350,000. To his astonishment, Chatta, visibly upset that Oamen had not confided in him earlier about his troubles, instructed his personal assistant to transfer the entire balance in his account to him.
In Oamen’s words: “I needed funds for traditional therapy on my legs since surgery wasn’t an option yet. I informed Ibrahim Chatta about it during a visit to his film village. He was angry with me for not opening up sooner about my challenges. I asked him for ₦350,000, but he directed his PA to send me every kobo in his account.”
Oamen emphasized how the unexpected generosity played a crucial role in his recovery process
