Franklin Ubi talks on his love affair with Lilian Esoro

Their engagement shocked many as they were never
identified as a couple or spotted together..Ubi
Franklin has revealed he didn't know his fiancee,
Lilian Esoro was an actress..He told Punch

“When I met her, I did not even know she
was an actress. That is something people do
not know. I hardly watch television these
days because of my schedule, so there are a
lot of movie stars I do not know. Whenever
I want to relax, I watch movies on my
laptop. The first day I met her, she did not
tell me she was an actress and I didn’t
know till about a week later.”
“I called her to ask and she told me she was
an actress but preferred to keep a low
profile. She said she does not like too much
attention and all she wants is due diligence.
She is not one of those actresses that seek
for attention.”

Talking about how he broke up with his ex, Ubi said,
“Things were not working because I believe
that you should be where you would be
happy for the rest of your life. I asked God
that I needed a woman to marry and settle
down with. After I prayed about it for
about a week, I met Lillian at a friend’s
party. The day I met her, I saw the qualities
I wanted in a woman I want to be with for
the rest of my life.”

On marrying an actress,he said..
“I have no problem with her career.
Everybody works hard to earn a living and
as far as she is happy with what she does,
that is the most important thing to me. All I
want to do is to help her improve on
whatever she is doing and also support
her,” he said.

“The marriage would definitely be this year
in Nigeria. I am not a fan of marrying
abroad. I have nothing against people that
do it but the truth is many people that ought
to come and pray for you would not make
it if you travel out of the country,” he said.
