“Today Death visited me and took one of the most precious gifts life ever handed to me ,my sister.

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

CANCER WHY?

One of the kindest souls I’ve ever known and I am blessed to call her my sister.

I still remember vividly how it all began. In 2004 while I was a law student in Madonna university, my dad passed and as one of the youngest, I had to go stay with my sister and her husband in Abuja. During one of my holidays in December 2005, She took me to Lagos to visit my elder brother and from that moment, I never looked back. That trip changed everything. It was the beginning of my journey the and beginning of Ubi Franklin. That was where my career started. I became my brother’s PA but she always reminded me, “Before anyone else, you were my PA.” And she never stopped calling me that. Even till her last days.

From April through May, June, and into July, I was blessed to spend time with her. On July 3rd, before embarking on my trip to England I had gone to her room to bid her farewell with the promise that I would see her upon my return and she would be waiting for me in Lagos. But on the 6th of July, she decided to return from Lagos to Abuja to spend time with her family since she had been away for too long.

man plans but God disposes.

Yesterday, I got a call from my siblings. She had been moved to the ICU. I did everything within my power to make it to Abuja. But while I was airborne, in the early hours of today, she passed on.

This is one of the biggest losses of my life. When I landed in Abuja at 4:20am, she had already passed but it was hidden from me till 4pm today.

Yet, through the pain, I am thankful. Thankful that I got to know her, to walk with her, to be shaped by her. Thankful that I was blessed with such a soul as my sister — my backbone, my rock, my biggest cheerleader.

And today, as I’ve watched people pour in, all testifying to how kind, selfless, and good she was… I know I am not alone in my grief.

This hurts deeply. It has left a scar in my heart.
But I will forever love you.
And I know… you’re in a better place.💔🕊️”
