Abumchukwu claims that video clips showcasing Awka, Amawbia, and Osumenyi were taken from his work and included in the film without proper credit.

Chime Chinedu Abumchukwu, the founder of Ou Travel and Tour has called out actress and filmmaker Omoni Oboli.

He alleged that the actress used his video footage without permission in her movie Love In Every Word.

Abumchukwu took to X to make the claim and wrote:

"Dear @Omonioboli,

Huge congratulations on getting your movie back online! I'm beyond thrilled for you.

My name is Chime Chinedu Abumchukwu, and I'm the founder of Ou Travel and Tour. Yesterday, I received several messages mistakenly referring to me as Obiora due to a copyright claim on YouTube. After clarifying the mix-up, I realized that my video clips from Awka, Amawbia, and Osumenyi were featured in your movie.

While I'm honored that my work was considered worthy of inclusion, I was surprised to find no credits given at the end. As a content creator who showcases Nigeria's beauty with little to no support, I believe it's essential to acknowledge and respect the intellectual property of others.

I'd like to request that you consider giving me proper credit for my work in your movie. This would not only be a kind gesture but also a great opportunity to promote the rich cultural heritage of Nigeria.

Once again, congratulations on your movie's success! I wish you all the best and look forward to seeing my credits included.

Best regards, Chime Chinedu Abumchukwu."
