Music executive and entrepreneur, Ubi Franklin have revealed how he attempted to kill himself three years ago.

Ubi Franklin made this revelation while reacting to the viral video of a young

Nigerian man based in America, Izuchukwu Madubueze who committed

suicide on Thursday, July 16, after a Twitter user accused him of harassing a woman.

According to the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office in Florida, United States, the Nigerian

entrepreneur died by self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Before taking his life, Izu recorded himself reading his suicide note as he also

scheduled a sucide note that was posted on Twitter one day after his death.

The tweet reads: “Oh, and if you’re reading this, I’m dead. Lol.”

Ubi Franklin who was saddened by this news took to his official Instagram page to

reveal how hard it is to being bullied on social media.

According to the talented music executive, he was on the verge of Killin himself due to

the abuse and insult he was receiving on social media from fans and followers.

Ubi Franklin however narrated how he survived those moments as he used his

experience to preach to fans and followers who might be thinking of ending their life

due to abuse and insult received from close relatives and on social media.

He also urged fans who are used to bullying people on social media to stop as this is a pandemic on it’s own.

SAD VIDEO TO WATCH – I watched this video of IZU reading out his suicide note before he took his life and i remembered doing this several times 3 years ago unsuccessfully and I am here today. I got bullied so much on Instagram in the last two years that I started getting depressed again and this time I told myself “ubi” who are these people talking about you? Do you know them or their families? Everyone has something their hiding and won’t tell the public but go on social media to bully others of things that they also have done or their parents have or their brothers, sisters and friends have done. Why bother your self with people who contribute nothing to your life? Are you the first to have a failed marriage? Are you the first to have kids from 4 different women? Have your learnt from your past? Then came the big question, How can you do better ? So I started using my platform to speaker against the mistakes I have made in life that I feel can he avoided by someone watching my lives or reading about how I have turned my dark days into brighter and beautiful days and letting people know the truth that is not always told on social media. Social media is full of controlled narratives, the things that don’t make social media that I know are many. Do married men come on social media to say they have multiple girl friends? Or do married women come on social media to they have a side guy/guys? Do all the Big girls on social media tell how they made their money to live the lives that you are depressed about? Stop Bullying people on social media, it’s another Pandemic on its own. You are not any perfect and you will never be, When you see people’s struggles on social media and you judge them and then forgetting how horrible you are in your own controlled reality life and how you can’t even feed, how you sleep with married men to make money or how your parents have stolen from Government to send your to school. Before you bully or criticize people check yourself first. Suicide is never an option I am here today because I know there is got to be more. God Bless you all and remain blessed ✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿
