Popular Nigerian music executive and media personality, Ubi Franklin has said that if not for his children he will be wallowing in depression by now.
In an interview he granted recently published on Kokong news, Ubi Franklin who children with different baby mamas said that he thoughts of his children suffering after his death saved him depression.
According to him, his children are his responsibility and thinking about them keeps him alive and motivate him.
He said;
“My saving grace in life is the fact that I had kids at an early age. Every time I feel depressed, I tell myself that if I am gone, my kids may suffer because they are my responsibilities. God gave them to me so that I can cater for them. If I take my life, they may not have the kind of life that I wish they should have.
These thoughts keep me alive and motivate me to keep going. Life happens and one needs to understand that you cannot have everything. There are people with perfect homes who do not have the kind of life I have. I only ask God that His will should be done in my life. It is not anyone’s intention or wishes to get married and break up. If you kill yourself because of someone, the person will still move on with their life. Life will always teach us lessons, so we have to keep our heads up and keep pressing forward.
“As for marriage, I am really not thinking about that now. The most important thing for me now is making money. I have been there before, and I’ll say it is a great institution. But I want to make more money. When there is money, there would be more options and you won’t be under pressure to get married.
However, I have not given up on marriage but I have to do all I need to do. I am still young at 35 and I believe at this age, I have done a lot of what some of my peers have not done, especially with my career. But really, it is not how far, because I am not under pressure to prove anything to anyone. I got married at 29 years old and it did not work.
But, that does not mean that if I get married again, it won’t work too. I already have kids, so all I have to do is learn how to do things differently with the experiences I have gathered. Doing things with experience is better than when you are a novice. Marriage is a book you write yourself, and it’s an institution that you learn every day.”
