“It wasn’t easy” – Ubi Franklin shares his bitter-sweet experience as he bags a law degree (Hons); pens note to Davido, Chioma, others

Nigerian talent manager and bestfriend of award-winning music star Davido, Ubi Franklin, has bagged a Bachelor of Laws – LLB (Hons) from University of Essex.

The talent manager shared the good news via his Instagram page as he recounted his bitter-sweet experience. He revealed that in March 2020, he got the information that Nigeria would be going on lockdown due to a pandemic and being a restless person with a desire always to achieve new goals, he was of the opinion that his various university degrees weren’t enough and he needed something more.

He revealed that he was on a phone call with Pastor Tobi when he told him he wanted to give Law another shot, but this time in the UK, he encouraged him. Ubi stated that after several postponements, he woke up one morning determined to find a school, and he searched the internet desperately till he found the University he enrolled in.

He stated that he started with Legal skills and context, Public Law, Criminal Law, Business Environment, and Business and Management Skills. From there, the journey moved to the Law of Tort, Land Law, Operations Management, Wills and Administration of Estates.

The talent manager penned a heartfelt note to Pastor Tobi for always remembering he was in school and encouraging him. He also appreciated Davido and his wife, Chioma, for their unwavering support and encouragement.
