Samuel Ajibola ‘Spiff‘, a Nollywood actor, has opened up on the reason why he left the renowned television serial opera ‘The Johnsons‘.
In 2021, Samuel, who played Spiff, an imbecilic clown in the TV series, announced his departure from the serial opera’s cast.
In a recent interview with Channels TV, the actor stated he left the television series to pursue his aspirations.
He stated that leaving the soap opera has helped him re-establish himself as a producer and director, and he does not regret his decision.
He said, “I spent nine years at ‘The Johnsons’ investing in someone else’s dream. Even before leaving, I had already started running DAILY Issues, which is my comedy skits. I started in 2016.
“So I started building up my own thing to become an emerging producer and a director. It got to a point where I felt I needed to take that bold step to leave my comfort zone, which everybody already knew that I was doing great. I needed to leave because, naturally, I’m a very adventurous person. And I’m a big risk taker. I was well aware of the risk I was going to take, like I said, I listened to my guts, and date, I haven’t regretted it.
“In fact, leaving [‘The Johnsons’] has re-established me and redefined me more as a producer and a director.”
