Music executive and artist manager Ubi Franklin don come out to yarn about how depression nearly finish am. For one video wey im post for Instagram, Franklin yarn say im go through very hard time even though im career dey sweet.
Franklin say im try to kill imself many times, but im cousin wey dem dey call Omini Stitches always come save am. Im talk say di experience teach am say make pesin no hold grudge and say resilience important.
“I went through some crazy, depressing periods. I remember one time I bought a red CL, and I drove that car to the Third Mainland Bridge to go and commit suicide,” Franklin yarn. “The only luck I had was my cousin brother Omini Stitches, who came to save me. Several times I had tried to commit suicide; Omini saved me. Because I was so embarrassed, I didn’t know what to do. I felt like, what have I done to deserve all of this? I have a good career going for myself. 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.”
Im yarn say sometimes im dey feel say di relationship wey no work na just destiny. “Till today I can’t really explain exactly what transpired, but we’re now very good friends. We co-parent very well; we celebrate our son’s events,” im add.
Franklin say despite all di pain, di best tin wey come out from dat relationship na im son. “So sometimes, 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,” im talk.
Di lesson wey im want pipo learn na make dem no hate pesin when someting happen. “I don’t want you to think that when something happens sometimes with a 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,” im yarn.
