Ubi Franklin called out over unpaid debt

Nigerian businessman and politician, Ubi Franklin has recently been called out on Twitter over an unpaid debt after contacting a UI/UX designer through Iyanya.

A Twitter user claims that she provided UI/UX designs for Franklin during the period of the presidential election, but has yet to be compensated for her work. The user stated that during the time of the project, banks were not working due to naira scarcity, which Franklin used as an excuse for not paying her. However, she has not received payment to date.

The Twitter user explained that Franklin had reached out to her through Iyanya’s Twitter account in January to work on a few projects. He then directed her to contact him on WhatsApp, where he asked her to redesign a website and design portals for a landlord, tenant, lending company, and lawyers. Their agreement was for her to complete the project for 500k. They discussed the project further on a Zoom call, where Franklin asked for an invoice and when the website design would be ready. She assured him that it would be ready by the weekend and that she would begin working on the portals the following week. Despite her expectation of receiving partial payment from Franklin, she did not receive any funds. He claimed that the banks were experiencing difficulties due to naira scarcity. The Twitter user continued to work on the project, assuming that Franklin would eventually pay her. However, he did not attend the website redesign presentation and ignored her subsequent attempts to contact him. He requested that she continue working on the project after the presidential elections and gave her a deadline of the week after the gubernatorial elections. She tweeted:
“Good afternoon Twitter NG. Please help me tell @ubifranklin1 to pay the money he owes me. In January, Mr Ubi Franklin reached out to me through @Iyanya ‘s twitter account to tell me there were a few projects he wanted us to work on. Of course I was excited to see @Iyanya ‘s dm and was happy to work together. Still using Iyanya’s account he told me to message Ubi Franklin on WhatsApp and gave me his number. “I sent him a message on WhatsApp and he told me to check out a website, he wanted to add some functionalities. “I guess there was a misunderstanding of roles as what he wanted to do required a developer, but I explained to him clearly that I’m a designer, I pointed out the faults in the website design and told him it could be better. He agreed with me and told me to go ahead to redesign the website, and that I had to hurry because there was another mobile app he wanted me to design. “Our agreement was that I would redesign the website, then design a landlord, tenant, lending company and lawyers portal for 500k. We had this conversation Feb 13th on a zoom call, and he asked me to send an invoice which I did immediately. “Asking me when it would be ready.
I told him the website design would be ready by the weekend, then I’d start work on the portals the next week, I couldn’t give an end date for that yet. “Expecting that he would make part payment immediately with the urgency in his tone, I got to work. The next day I hadn’t received anything so I sent him a message and he told me he would sort it banks had been going crazy and all that. “It was believeable for me at the time because that was when there was naira scarcity and it was difficult for people to transact.
I continued to work on the project, I didn’t think someone like him would NOT pay, plus I had said I was going to present the website redesign by weekend. “I asked if he was going to be available for the presentation He didn’t turn up, I kept reaching out and he told me he was busy with campaigning. “I let him know I wasn’t sure how to proceed because there was no commitment from him yet, I also sent him the link to the redesign to check it out so we could have a meeting. “After the presidential elections I reached out again and he told me to please give him till the week after the gubernatorial elections, as he was busy with campaigning and that I should keep working on the project. The elections was moved from March 11th till 18th so that was another extra week. “I was very patient and took him by his word. I’ve been trying to reach Mr Ubi since then and he has been blatantly ignoring me, he keeps declining my calls. The project is about 70% done, and he has not paid anything. “My patience is exhausted, so I told him today that I was going to post on social media and he responded to me for the first time in weeks.
But look at his response. “He claims he told me he wasn’t ready, and yet in the voice note he told me to keep working and that he’d sort everything out the week after elections. On days when I got frustrated and tired, I would go back and listen to the voice note to assure myself that he would pay. I even got someone to do an animation to make sure the job was impeccable. I thought he was an honorable man. “Please all I want is for him to pay me what he owes me. I’m a quiet and peaceful young woman, trying to make ends meet. Ubi Franklin should not try to oppress me, I did not beg him for money, it’s my hard earned money and my right.” See the post below:

Ubi Franklin fumes following backlash that trailed tattoo of Davido’s late son’s nickname

Notable talent manager, Ubi Franklin, reacts following the backlash that trailed the tattoo of Davido’s late son’s nickname on his hand.

Ubi Franklin had caused a stir across the social media space after inking the tattoo of Davido’s late son’s nickname on his hand. Many argued that Ubi Franklin was overdoing his ‘nanny’ position to the late three-year-old boy.

In reaction to the unending backlash, the music executive penned a note to naysayers on how their opinion is irrelevant. In a lengthy note, he wrote; “Opinionated people: They have little awareness of how they’re coming off or how others are emotionally reacting to them. Often they have the best of intentions to help whomever they’re speaking to and can’t understand why the other person isn’t happy to hear what they have to say. Keep your opinions to yourself, I don’t care how anyone feels about how I have decided to live my life. Just focus on you and leave I and those I have decided to love out. Beacuse we are very pretentious about showing real love, when we see real love we call it clout.”

Lilian Esoro opens up on failed marriage with Ubi Franklin

Nollywood actress Lilian Esoro has finally opened up on her failed marriage to talent manager, Ubi Franklin.

Lilian Esoro and Ubi Franklin are one of the couples that had a messy breakup. Ubi Franklin filed for divorce in an Abuja court. The case was finalized on the 28th of January, 2021 with Lilian taking custody of their son, Jayden.
Speaking in a recent interview with on-air personality Toke Makinwa, Lilian disclosed that she battled with depression after her marriage failed.
In her words, she said;
“Here’s what people don’t know, my marriage had been shaky from engagement. Some people always say, ‘you shouldn’t have gone ahead with the marriage at all’. But, when I think about it, I made the right decision. “Now, my son is very important to me. With everything that happened, when I want to feel sad, I show that. Social media is trying to push the narrative that marriage isn’t important but actually is.

“I was reading something and a working lady was saying it was until she got married that people started respecting her. The reason people see marriage as a problem is that we’ve lost time having conversations.
“Go out for dinner anywhere and everyone is on their phone when dinner is meant for you to see the environment and reminisce on things. People are scared from the beginning of relationships to let the other know about them.”
