Fans of Nollywood actors Odunlade Adekola and Ibrahim Chatta are slugging it out on social media as they debate who is a better actor between the duo.

Odunlade and Chatta are prominent Yoruba actors who have been in the industry for over a decade.

While Odunlade could be said to be more popular among social media users with his hilarious reactions in movies which have been adopted as memes, Chatta has a relatively low social media profile.

The post which ignited the debate was shared by a social media user who had insinuated that Odunlade’s lack of fluency in English language is limiting his acting career.

The debate has positioned Odunlade on the trend list on Twitter in Nigeria.

See some of the reactions:

You people should stop this nonsense, who told you guys that Odunlade can’t speak proper English? Using Twitter doesn’t mean y’all should be so, judgemental, and ignorant I’m a 100 percent sure you cannot match his level of intelligence whoever you are.

Nobody in the Yoruba Film Industry is better than MR Odunlade……..Mans is practically the face of Yoruba Movies. https://t.co/R7miOJy7Wh

If you are a producer will you reduce a top actor to herbalist role? When you know he should be the lead actor??? He is virtually the face of the movie, why give him a side role?? When people even watch some movies simply because odunlade is in the movie?

Ha see gobe.

Doesn’t allow others to talk, he will interfere and talk for a long time

Femi Adebayo is my best actor though

Odunlade is crossing, he has the talent to dominate the industry. He’s not so fluent English might limit that. But he’s learning and working. He’ll get there. Chikena

All of you saying Odunlade isn’t as good as ibrahim chatta because he cant act herbalist roles,producers wont even want to use him in that role becos its more like waste of talent,when he could be the Lead role and face of the movie.Some People watch yoruba movies because of him.
