Ubi, who has experienced marital turbulence and lost his partner, Iyanya, since his last birthday, has a lot to party about.

For one, his estranged wife, Lilian Esoro, and Iyanya sent him birthday messages on Instagram.

Happy Birthday Mr ekapong @ubifranklintriplemg

Secondly, his label’s artiste, Tekno, is doing well locally and internationally.

“The best time (he probably means ‘thing’) about worse times is that you get to see the true colours of everyone,” he wrote in a thank you message on Instagram.

“When I look back on my life I see pain, mistakes and heartache. When I look in the mirror I see strength, learned lessons and pride in myself.”

So many years of education yet nobody ever taught us to love ourselves and why it is important. Never give up on something you really want. It is difficult to wait but worse to regret. Stand up for what you believe in,even if it means standing alone. If I’m wrong educate me, don’t belittle me. The best time about worse times is that you get to see the true colours of everyone. When I look back on my life I see pain,mistakes and heartache. When I look in the mirror I see strength,learned lessons and pride in myself. I admire myself because i chose to shine even through all the storms I have been through. Because I knew I couldn’t pour from an empty cup. I remind myself every year on this special day how blessed I am to have been given another year to experience the wonders of this beautiful world! God is good! My birthday is a day I cherish and love. The last one year Has been tremendously interesting. But I leave the final decision to God. Thank you all and Happy Birthday to me If you get bitter when you are being shaped, it means you’re not yielding to process. Instead of being bitter get better. Persecution is part of the process. Had it not been for oppositions, Joseph wouldn’t have fulfilled destiny. Thank you so much for the wonderful birthday wishes! My cup overfloweth with tremendous gratitude and love for each and every one of you!! May we have another year of incredible adventures and unimaginable opportunities!. Happy Birthday to Me ??❤️????????????????????

The trouble in Ubi’s marriage started unfolding when his wife didn’t say anything online on their first wedding anniversary and also unfollowed him on Instagram.

Ubi’s separation from his wife coincided with Iyanya leaving TMG.

They were reportedly at loggerheads over finances and other key issues in the running of the label.

Ubi dreams are that one day he will become the governor of his home Cross River State.
