Fact Check: Did Spiff Actually Marry His Primary School Captain?

If you visited the Nigerian Twitter space today, you must have in one way or the other, run into a Tweet reporting that 'The Johnson' star, Samuel Ajibola got married to his primary school class captain. The tweet appeared very interesting, at least, it was a very rare occurrence. Getting married to someone who used to write your name in the list of noise makers was something I've never heard of, I dunno if you have either.

Now back to the gist...
In the tweet, Spiff (let's just say) narrated how he got married to his primary school class captain that always wrote his name in the list of noisemakers. The tweet really got us (Nigerians) and I in fact, retweeted it and even went to the extent of reporting the news.

You don't really have to blame me, I don't really watch movies, and didn't know who Spiff was until today. I came to know he was popular after Googling his name during the process of reporting the news.

Ok, so did he get married to his primary school class captain?

No, the Twitter account in question was created last month (February 2021) and has just 14 tweets.

The first tweet was posted on March 1. This was followed by a retweet of Ini Edo photos, which were also posted by a parody account that we suspect was being run by the same person.

I was still contemplating the legitimacy of the account when I saw a post on Spiff's Instagram handle telling his fans to report the Twitter account. He also shared his personal Twitter (@samajibola01) which as at the time of filing this research, had lesser followers.
