VIDEO: Reasons for my departure from ‘The Johnsons’ TV Drama – Samuel ‘Spiff’ Ajibola
Nigerian actor, Samuel Ajibola, has disclosed the reason behind his departure from the popular soap opera, ‘The Johnsons.’
The talented actor, known for his portrayal of the character Spiff, a comical fool in the soap opera, explained that he made the decision to pursue his own dreams.
According to Ajibola, leaving the television series allowed him to establish himself as a producer and director. In a recent interview with Channels TV, he shared his perspective:
“For nine years, I dedicated my time and energy to ‘The Johnsons,’ investing in someone else’s vision. Even before my departure, I had already begun working on my own project, DAILY Issues, which showcases my comedy skits. This venture commenced in 2016.
“I wanted to build my own brand and emerge as a successful producer and director. There came a point where I felt the need to take a bold step and step out of my comfort zone, despite the fact that everyone recognized my achievements.
“I needed to leave because I am naturally an adventurous person and a risk-taker. I was fully aware of the risks involved, but I followed my instincts, and to this day, I have no regrets.
“In fact, leaving ‘The Johnsons’ has allowed me to rediscover myself and redefine my identity as a producer and director.”
