I Nearly Jumped from Third Mainland Bridge – Ubi Franklin on Overcoming Suicide Attempts

Ubi Franklin has opened up about a suicide attempt he made at the Third Mainland Bridge during a battle with depression. In a recent video on Instagram, he said he felt alone and embarrassed, despite his success as a talent manager. He recalled driving to the bridge in a red car, planning to end his life. His cousin, known as Omini Stitches, found him just in time. Franklin said he had tried several times to take his own life before that day. Today, Ubi and his ex-wife have a respectful co-parenting relationship. He stressed that pain can bring valuable lessons and urged people not to hate those who hurt them but to learn and move forward.
