“Today, death visited me and took one of the most precious gifts life handed me” — Ubi Franklin mourns his sister

Music executive and entrepreneur, Ubi Franklin, is mourning the painful loss of his sister, who passed away after a battle with cancer.

In a deeply personal and emotional post, Ubi described her as one of the most precious gifts life ever gave him — the woman who shaped him into the man the world knows today.

He wrote:

“Today, death visited me and took one of the most precious gifts life handed me… my sister.

The one who birthed the Ubi Franklin you all know. The one who opened my eyes to what life truly is.”

He recalled how everything changed after their father died in 2004, and he had to live with his sister and her husband in Abuja. It was during a holiday trip she arranged in 2005 that he was taken to Lagos — a visit that unknowingly marked the beginning of his career.
