“Today, death visited me and took one of the most precious gifts life handed me” — Music Executive 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. She would always remind me: Before anyone else, you were my PA. She never stopped calling me that even in her final days. Ubi revealed he spent quality time with her from April through to early July before travelling to the UK. On July 3rd, he said goodbye with hopes of reuniting when he returned. But just days later, she left Lagos to reunite with her immediate family in Abuja. Sadly, she was moved to the ICU shortly after. I did everything within my power to make it to Abuja. But while I was airborne she passed on. He landed in Abuja around 4:20am but wasnt told the news until hours later. Despite the pain, Ubi says he is filled with gratitude for the life she lived, and for the love and lessons she gave him. This is one of the biggest losses of my life.But I am thankful I got to know her, walk with her, and be shaped by her. Ubi described her as selfless, kind, and deeply good traits echoed by those who knew her and have come to mourn her passing. This hurts deeply. It has left a scar in my heart.But I will forever love you. And I know youre in a better place. The post Today, death visited me and took one of the most precious gifts life handed me Music Executive Ubi Franklin mourns his sister appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
