Samuel Ajibola Set To Part Ways With The Johnson’s TV Series

In a classical case that really illustrates the cache phrase “Nothing lasts forever”, Samuel Ajibola popularly known as Spiff, has announced he is no longer going to be a part of the long-running comedy-drama series, The Johnsons. The comic actor who has been with the TV show for about a decade, disclosed this in an Instagram post he posted on his handle on Saturday, May 8, 2021.

In the IG video post, Mr. Ajibola said:

“Hey guys, how are you doing? So I have an important message to bring to the general public.

“For about ten years now, I have sacrificed my time, dedicated my life as well as all the God given creativity within me to serving the Spiff’s television character on the Johnson’s Television series which undoubtedly for me has fulfilled its purpose in bringing entertainment, happiness and joy to the African continent as well as bringing therapeutic healings to the bodies and minds of our people from several testimonies I’ve heard.

“But as we all know nothing lasts forever and everything that has a beginning definitely has an ending. And as tough as this decision has been for me to make in the past few years, the time has finally come for me to move on and grow into other purposes as I am in search of new challenges and other ways to entertain our people through other various projects.

“I would like to thank the producers of the show for allowing me to showcase one of the many sides of my limitless creative talents as well as all of the fans who have given me fulfilment in enjoying that character. But most importantly, I would like to state that my loyalty belongs to Multichoice.

“What this means in general is that I have not quit acting, it simply means I am taking more time to be able to fulfill other purposes and to do other things. Thank you and God bless.”

The Lagos-born actor went short of revealing if there is any other reason for his decision to split from the company such as a rift or a contractual discord, however, he will be sorely missed on the show if the comments that followed his update on social media is anything to go by. Samuel Ajibola, who was a major character on the show alongside Charles Inojie, Ada Ameh, Chinedu Ikedieze, Susan Pwajok, etc, is one of the live wires of the Africa Magic TV series.

We cant wait to see what happens next on the show – if his character as Spiff will be removed completely or if it will be replaced with some other actor. In all, we wish him the best in his future endeavors.

Davido gifts personal assistant Lati Range Rover as birthday gift

Afrobeats superstar Davido has once again shown love to those in his inner circle by gifting his longtime personal assistant and close friend, Lati Biola, a brand-new Range Rover as a birthday present.

The heartwarming gesture comes as no surprise to fans familiar with the duo’s long-standing friendship, which dates back to Davido’s childhood. Lati, who served as Davido’s best man during the singer’s high-profile wedding to Chioma in June 2024, has remained a constant in the artist’s journey, both professionally and personally.

In the early hours of June 25, 2025, Davido took to Instagram to celebrate his best bud, tagging him as his ‘favourite person’ and posting pictures from the birthday dinner and clubbing. He also posted the keys to the luxury vehicle with the caption, “Love you my brother, enjoy new keys from your boy.”

It is worth noting that this is far from the first time Davido has gifted Lati a car. In 2019, Lati revealed that the singer was so generous that he gifted him a new red Benz worth ₦70 million.

Tinubu, you are incapable – Falz slams president over Benue killings

Nigerian rapper and activist, Falz, has condemned President Bola Tinubu over the recent mass killings in Benue State, accusing him of failing in his most fundamental responsibility as a leader.

In a strongly worded post shared on X on June 16, 2025, the rapper expressed deep frustration at what he described as a repeated pattern of government negligence amid growing insecurity across the country.

You have consistently shown that you are incapable of performing the primary duty of securing the lives and property of your citizens. This routine statement does not cut it.

Falz’s comments come in the wake of public outrage over the massacre of more than 200 people in parts of Benue State. The killings, which have been linked to suspected herdsmen attacks, have drawn widespread condemnation from Nigerians and prominent voices in entertainment.

After being called out online for what many people perceived as his silence on the matter, President Tinubu took to X to address the massacre, saying “Enough is enough.”

His statement read in part,

“I have been briefed on the senseless bloodletting in Benue State. Enough is enough! I have directed the security agencies to act decisively, arrest perpetrators of these evil acts on all sides of the conflict, and prosecute them.”

Political and community leaders in Benue State must act responsibly and avoid inflammatory utterances that could further increase tensions and killings.This is the time for Governor Alia to act as a statesman and immediately lead the process of dialogue and reconciliation that will bring peace to Benue.

Our people must live in peace, and it is possible when leaders across the divides work together in harmony and differences are identified and addressed with fairness, openness, and justice.

Despite finally addressing the bloodshed, many Nigerians have still faulted Tinubu for not speaking on it early enough, especially after the Pope.
