Ubi Franklin revealed how certain situations in his life almost made him commit suicide three years ago.
He revealed this while reacting to the video of Izu reading his suicide note––Izu, a social media user who committed suicide after being falsely accused of rape.
Ubi explained that online bullying caused him to be depressed.
He added that he got bullied so much on Instagram in the last two years that he started getting depressed again.
Ubi said that he was able to get out of depression by asking himself important some questions like, “Why bother your self with people who contribute nothing to your life? Are you the first to have a failed marriage? Are you the first to have kids from 4 different women?”
He said,
“I watched this video of IZU reading out his suicide note before he took his life, and I remembered doing this several times three years ago unsuccessfully, and I am here today.
“I got bullied so much on Instagram in the last two years that I started getting depressed again, and this time Ubiold myself ‘ubi’ who are these people talking about you? Do you know them or their families?
“Everyone has something they are hiding and won’t tell the public but go on social media to bully others of things that they also have done, or their parents have or their brothers, sisters and friends have done.
“Why bother your self with people who contribute nothing to your life? Are you the first to have a failed marriage? Are you the first to have kids from 4 different women? Have you learnt from your past? Then came the big question, How can you do better?
“So I started using my platform to speak against the mistakes I have made in life that I feel can be avoided by someone watching my lives or reading about how I have turned my dark days into brighter/ beautiful days and letting people know the truth that is not always told on SM.
“Social media is full of controlled narratives; the things that don’t make social media that I know of, are many.
“Do married men come on social media to say they have multiple girlfriends? Or do married women come on social media to they have a side guy/guys?
“Do all the Big girls on social media tell how they made their money to live the lives that you are depressed about?
Stop Bullying people on social media; it’s another Pandemic on its own.
“You are not any perfect, and you will never be When you see people’s struggles on social media. You judge them and then forgetting how horrible you are in your own controlled reality life and how you can’t even feed, how you sleep with married men to make money or how your parents have stolen from Government to send yours to school.
“Before you bully or criticize people check yourself first. Suicide is never an option I am here today because I know there is got to be more. God Bless you all and remain blessed.”
