    Says: ‘He lied to the world to make himself feel good’

I didn’t sell my shares; I left Made Men at the time because there was so much darkness. In the midst of all the wings, I decided to let that go.

    When I said it was darkness, I was not myself anymore because I felt like there was no trust anymore”.

    According to him: “It’s very unfortunate that A person I took as my brother had to lie to the world to make himself look good.Always wait for both sides of the story to call people names.
    Here is to prove that iyanya Lied to make himself look good.Exclusive interview dropping in 1hour

    There is never a right time to commit suicide- Ubi Franklin

     

    Music entrepreneur and investor Ubi Franklin, recently shared his battle with depression at Joy Masterclass, themed ‘Dealing with Depression’.

    The event focused on the ideologies of human prosperity, well-being and living a life leveraging positive emotions, healthier habits and powerful self-awareness practices.

    Speaking at the event, Franklin recounted his battle with depression.

    He emphasised on the need to avoid creating negative pictures in the mind or attaching importance to specific dates that signify bad moments, but instead use such days or moments as a motivation for success.

    “There’s never a right moment to commit suicide. It’s all about the mind,” he said.

    “Depression is usually created through silent pressure which will create a negative mindset, perception, or the compulsion to live our lives in order not to disappoint our parents, families or communities.”

     

    The CEO of Made Men Music Group (MMMG), had previously shared his depression story on Instagram.

     

    The estranged husband of Nollywood actress, Lilian Esoro wrote on his Instagram page: “It all started precisely from the month of July 20, 2016 to March 2017 thereabouts. I was quite depressed badly and it became so bad that my life began to deteriorate so much that I literally don’t eat and I don’t sleep so much so that my family and close friends became really scared,” he wrote.

     

    “My life deteriorated so bad that I became a regular patient at the hospital to be treated for one ailment or the other. I show up at events looking lost and drained. But you know you just have to keep the face, like everything is ok.”

  • People think I am not happy with Ubi Franklin’s success- Iyanya

    When Iyanya parted ways with his erstwhile business partner, Ubi Franklin, there were a myriad of reports that all is not well between them. Both parties have posted Instagram and Twitter messages that many have misconstrued.

     

     

    In a recent Interview, the Your Waist singer has debunked such claims. He stressed that all he has for Tekno and Ubi is love.

    In his words:” Why would people think that I’m not happy with Ubi’s success? It doesn’t make any sense. People just feel that whatever I tweet is directed at Ubi, and that whatever he says online is directed at me.

    “That’s not so. We have all moved on with our lives. I do not fear anybody so if I want to talk about anybody, I would tag the person. If I don’t tag anybody in my social media posts, that means it’s just a general post and I’m not talking to anybody. People should just let it go. Sometimes, I post things because of what I heard or about life in general. I’ve got nothing but love for Ubi and Tekno right now.”
