UBI FRANKLIN REVEALS BATTLES WITH SUICIDAL THOUGHTS AND DEPRESSION

Made Men Music Group label boss, Ubi Franklin has revealed his battles with suicidal thoughts and depression in a post shared on Instagram.
The business man revealed that his troubles started in 2016. He was left alone in a ‘dark house’ all by himself. His family and friends were constantly worried about him and his temper had become erratic.
“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 don’t sleep, so much that my family and close friends became really scared,” said the music boss.
One Saturday night, he thought he would end his own life because depression had really eaten deep into his mind, and he was all alone.
“I was driving home filled up with suicidal thoughts. I was so scared and all I kept saying and asking myself was ‘who will take care of my son?” He added.
This comes months after Ubi’s failed marriage with actress Lilian Esoro.
He shared some screenshots and captioned it:
SATAN WILL TRY TO BREAK YOUR SPIRIT! DON’T ALLOW HIM… PRAY!!! So yesterday as I was on the train to catch up my meeting in Milan and was reminiscing on the events in my life in the last one year, as regards “where, what and why”… This story I am about to share with you now just literally crossed through my thoughts, and I felt I could help someone with my testimony…
Here are the screenshots he shared:

S. Africa’s Malema says no fewer than 60 ANC MPs will turn on Zuma

Julius Malema, leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters party (EFF) said 60 African National Congress (ANC) members in South Africa’s parliament will back a no-confidence vote against President Jacob Zuma if the ballot is secret. Toppling Zuma requires 50 of the 249 ANC Members of Parliament (MPs) to support the no-confidence motion and some have said publicly they want him removed, including former finance minister Pravin Gordhan, whose sacking in March triggered damaging debt ratings downgrades. South Africa’s national assembly has 400 members. Malema, a firebrand politician known for his colorful language, said in an interview, he had received personal commitments that ANC MPs would dump Zuma. Malema, a former head of the ANC’s Youth League before his expulsion from the party, could plausibly still have plenty of contacts in the organization. “I personally spoke to more than 60 MPs of the ANC who have committed that if we give them a secret ballot they will deliver,” Ma...

Rivers East district has no senator, says Wike

Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike has said Rivers East has no senator. He spoke yesterday at  a Thanksgiving Service for Senator George Thompson Sekibo, at the St Thomas Anglican Church in Diobu. Sekibo was sacked from the National Assembly by the Court of Appeal last week. He accused the All Progressives Congress (APC) of destroying key national institutions. Wike said following APC’s negative governance style, the police and Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) have metamorphosed into rigging machines threatening the peace of the country. According to him, the Appeal Court judgment, which led to the loss of Rivers East mandate is a fallout of the “unfortunate illegal alliance  between the police and INEC”. He explained the APC tendered results certified by the Police to the tribunal, which the tribunal relied on, rather than results declared by INEC on election day. He said incidentally, both results had the same serial numbers, which showed the f...
