Ubi Franklin recalls surviving past suicide attempt

Nigerian music executive, Ubi Franklin, has spoken up regarding his suicide attempt, revealing that he was once suicidal despite being wealthy.

While speaking about his former marriage in a video shared via his Instagram page, the talent manager revealed that he was battling severe depression in the union and he once drove to the third Mainland bridge to commit suicide before being rescued.

“I went through some crazy depressing positions. I remember one time I bought a red CL, and I drove that car to the third Mainland bridge to go and commit suicide. The only luck I had was my cousin brother Omini Stitches that came to saved me. Several times I had tried to commit suicide, Omini saved me. Because I was so embarrassed, I don’t know what to do. I felt like what have I done to deserve all of this. I have like the biggest artist in the country at the time. Everything was fine, so I just felt like it was time for me to settle down,” he recalled.

Ubi also explained that despite the struggles he faced with his ex-wife, they are now good friends and understanding co-parents. He noted that he believes that marriage was just not meant to be.

“So, sometimes I always feel like this relationship did not work it was just meant to be that way. Till today I can’t really explain exactly what transpired, but we’re now very good friends. We co-parent very well, we celebrate events of our son. I have always believed that regardless of all the pain, the best result that I got from that was my son. And she’s still doing very well. Any opportunity I ever have to support her, I always do it to the fullest. And I pray that she continues doing well. The lesson I want you to learn from this is, I don’t want you to think that when something happens sometimes with the human being, you have to hate the human being. No, that’s not the case. Sometimes it is just an opportunity for you to learn from the process and keep it moving “, he added.
