I dont know how they got jobs as interviewers

[@meawesome3141]

I was saying the same thing whilst listening. So poor. They cut him off too many times and asked stupid questions over and over again. For e.g they should have asked him where he got the money that he used to invest in Tekno? If the money came from MMMG, then Inyanya should have gotten his shares from Tekno without much brouhaha. But if it was his personal money, then Inyanya had no claims.

[@ahmadbaba4212]

Ubi, morally you are right but legally you are wrong. Both of you made mistakes. In case of next time, since Iyanya said he has nothing to do with Teckno promo, you should have made a document with Iyanya outside what you have as partners that says, Teckno bills and promo are on me. If he fails I bear the lost and if he succeeds I take the gain since am the only one putting money on him, That is what you should have done. Always keep friendship out of business. Money and friends are like oil and water. They don't go together.

[@uyomiama8621]

Ahmad Baba my opinion exactly, people calling ubi a cheat is quite unnecessary because iyanya was quite greedy himself.

[@Crowns-surround_mi21]

Hmmmm! It seems guys did not read between the lines well, let Nigerian police handle this case, the truth will come out clearer. 1. How can you have a business together and you now use your personal money to fund runs? 2. What happens to the petty cash documents that he is holding on to, how do they reconcile accounts? 3. After reconciliation account what was the amount left and how was it shared? At least that amount should be shared equally. 4. From time immemorial, individuals can register a company not only through a lawyer, but I am also saying this because I did register a company in 1999 without a lawyer and I am not a lawyer. I am surprised that such a statement is coming from a lawyer, Ubi, (suspicion 1). 5. This part is the funny part. Your buddy says please, take care of business and I focus on bringing the money (music) then that means he is not interested in the business yet, documents were brought and he signed. That sounds suspicious. We know without the music, there is no business. 6. One thing that is not clear to me is that, did Iyanya sign any document that brought money from the bank with the fake documents? Then, he is faulty and has been lying too. Now, going back to Iyanya's interview... 1. Iyanya said he actually went to CAC to confirm that his name was not one of the directors of the company, he never mentioned that he got to know when they wanted a facility from Access bank. 2. I said reading in between lines, Iyanya said he signed once and not the September document so, how did they get the signature? So te changing of the name of documents that have not been submitted. If a mistake was made, it could have been corrected and sent back for the signature to be appended instead of using a pen. CAC documents are sensitive and should not have been handled with levity.

What prove do you need for that? Every other points I talked about are from what both of them presented before us. You see, one way or the other some of us have been betrayed by friends and family members that like Iyanya and we had to let everything go just like Iyanya did. We have been in Iyanya's shoes and know how things pan in this kind of situation. You can see Ubi appealing to Iyanya that he still loves him because he knows who the cash cow is. Remember, Iyanya said Ubi came to his room kneeling down, begging him that it was a mistake to have put his brother and another friend's name as directors... Well, I believe Iyanya has learned his lessons and with look out for details in whatever he wants to do or put his hands. I wish both of them luck in their future endeavors.

[@bakhitanzeribe9167]

You signed a partnership with Iyanya, but you signed Tekno without his approval (first strike). Yes, you might have believed in the talent of Tekno but you did this without your partner's consent (second strike.) You accrued bills and had debts in trying to promote Tekno, Iyanya still wasn't aware (third strike), so who owns this debt now? You? Or both you and Iyanya? Legally, that debt is for both of ya. Iyanya comes to you for his gain from Tekno and you refused and said he never was in support and never put a penny? Bruh, you said you're a lawyer but you're crafty af. You should know better. Them bills are both for y'all and Tekno's gain is for y'all. Iyanya was right along. FOH

[@The_Dikes]

Bakhita Nzeribe very valid points, serious mistakes by both parties with Iyanya being obviously quite naive and Ubi flouting some of rules of a partnership business. It is difficult to judge both of them because of the obvious challenges of starting and running a business in Nigeria but I agree that Uni should not sign an artist to Business that’s jointly owned and funding the artist without expecting to share the profit 50/50. One way around it would have been to sign Tenno under a completely new legal entity or have a charge back mechanism for costs incurred on the current business for both parties to be able to recover their costs.

[@obieWanmotivation]

Bakhita Nzeribe Ubi was entitled to recovering his out of pocket expenses first and then splitting the excess over his expenses 50/50 with Iyanya. Ubi’s fault was initially withholding everything. That said, Ubi presented evidence showing that he split a certain amount 50/50 with Iyanya but Iyanya directed his proceeds to clear some bills outside triple MG.

[@oluwoleoke5611]

This is a classic case of two business partners who came together to start a company but one feels he's putting in more work than the other hence he deserved to be compensated more, dude you shouldn't have signed the agreement with Iyanya in the first place because as long as the job functions are not clearly stated then the agreement is binding no matter who puts in more work and makes things happen. I almost had a similar situation in the past and I swore never again to start a company with anyone...the heart of man is desperately wicked especially those you call 'friends'!

I am not a fan of any of these guys but if your partner says he's not interested in something why go ahead? You cant manage a new artist under the same company that you have 50 percent approval. Vision at that point was different. Ubi spoke himself here that the bank gave money because Iyanyas name had to be in the picture, makes him very important regardless of your genius in scouting talents. Means Signing of tekno to mmmg was illegal. It showed ubi rode on the platform created by 2 people to sponsor his agenda. Imagine Psquare signed iyanya from day 1... no mmmg and no tekno. Iyanya is an artist and he showed he doesnt want to be smart, he just wants success, good enough but Ubi should have just started another company with his personal money if there was such. I see an opportunist in business with a naive person , simple .

[@youngkroniic757]

Iyanya couldn't co sign tekno bcus he was seeing tekno as competion while ubi was seeing him as a profitable commodity.

[@airbender5096]

I don't know how they started their business so i can only say from the things i heard in this video, first he said Iyanya doesn't like Tekno and didn't want to sign him but he ignored Iyanya's refusal to sign tekno and did it all by himself, he said he borrowed money to shoot Tekno's first video called dance and every dime he spent on Tekno was borrowed which he later settled with the money Tekno was making, that means he didn't spend his own money on Tekno, When he was asked whether he was giving Tekno his own share on share, he said he was using the money to settle all the money he took to shoot the videos and promote Tekno, Secondly, I am very sure that Iyanya appeared in that same video "dance" so my question is, why would Iyanya appear in that video to promote it when he doesn't like Tekno? And why would he appear in something he didn't put money on? Thirdly, if you know when Tekno started his music journey, Iyanya was like a brother to him, he was the guy taking Tekno to shows, he was the guy promoting Tekno, maybe you don't know this that was why you were quick to judge. You should have given a deep thought to everything Ubi said, the guy is not honest, Inyanya might not have put money on Tekno, but he put Tekno on the map, since Tekno was signed under MMG and excelled under MMG, why would Ubi claim all the profits on Tekno when the company is co-owned? Are you trying to say if you open a salon shop with your friend and wanted to start selling beauty cream but your friend doesn't want to do so in the same shop you co-owned with him/her, you'll go ahead and start selling beauty cream in the shop? That's a breach of contract, if you want to start another business, you need to do it in a different shop since your partner didn't give approval for you to sell in the shop. If you neglect him and do otherwise, he's entitled to ask for a share of every profit that comes out from the shop. That's simple logic

[@balogundamilola3476]

Hey Ubi, you know without Iyanya’s face, there wouldn’t be no MMMG. And him not wanting you to sign Tekno doesn’t have anything to do with him not liking the dude.

Balogun Damilola Exactly!

[@samuelwilliamsbassey]

So I watched Daddy Freeze Interview with Iyanya, very clear, straight to the point, very slight addition, No subtraction, a little bit emotional...BUT, There are several accusations that still beats me... 1. Iyanya claims he signed a CAC document in 2012 as a director on the company, and he later found out that his name was not there. That document was changed to reflect Ubi and his brothers. 2. If you claim he clearly stated he doesn't want to be a part of the company, why do you have him sign documents as a partner when it comes to decision making. 3. From 2012 prior to when Iyanya found out, why didn't you tell him to true nature of the companies status. 4. Don't let me get started with the Teckno matter. 5. This comment is for Dotun and other OAP's.... I have said it severally, not all radio OAP's are trained as real Journalist and interviewers, American and British accent, is not a prerequisite alone to be an OAP... Mistakes a lot of private radio stations still have... I wish Freeze handled this interview, I think this dude would have been caught in his own rope... Last Last we go all dey alright...

[@adewaleaina5399]

I see how you whittled down Iyanya's stupidity.Why will he refuse to sign a partnership and when he did why didn't he check before signing.Please don't excuse his lack of business acumen.He was lucky the banker bailed him out.Iyanya just discovered that he can not continue to be a hit maker forever so his eyes cleared.I wont be surprised he does not have ownership of 'kukere' like Rkelly does not have on 'I believe I can fly'.My grouse with Ubi was signing Techno against his partner's permission.He should have just incorporated another company.

Ubi & iyanya had a binding contract so even if Ubi decided to pay from his pocket to push techno’s music, ubi is still bound by the contract to pay Iyanya his 50% share. He can not just decide what happens in the business on his own. Ubi should have been wiser to choose a business partner that can take risks that would benefit his company, not that I believe that Iyanya would be so dumb to say he is not interested in the business side of his music.

[@uchennagbulie5543]

Henrietta metieh unfortunately it isn't as simple as you have put it. In lay man terms 50% share holding is 50% of profits after tax. So yes Ubi was right to pay off operating expenses before before splitting any money.

[@henriettametieh8990]

@uchenna I totally understand, but if you heard what Ubi him self said , He said for about 5- 6 months he didn’t give Iyanya anything because he felt he was not entitled to it because he didn’t believe in the Tekno and as such failed to contribute to the venture. That’s my point. Except in the contact it has a clause that says if a partner does not contribute to push a business he would not get any earnings from it.

[@franklynudemgba5186]

Documentation is the foundation of every business , They might have had their issues but Iyanya,s reaction was borne mostly out of not being giving attention as an artist , co owner and out of emotion ...In Business you don't give into emotions ,you have to do what's good for the business .Iyanya is talented artist ,but not grounded in business ....Ubi Franklin is a business man . I hope this experience would help Iyanya in his career with other Managers ,he too should be involved and also keep records .. I also hope they both put this issues behind them and be good friends... I wish them best of luck

[@obiflex]

If you listen with an informed mind you will realize that Ubi Franklin is saying the truth. The business contract was faulty from the point where he made Iyanya a co owner with 50/50 sharing agreement Based on the above agreement, if Iyanya is paid 1 million Naira for a show, he gets 700k, the music label gets 300k and he still gets 150k as his share for being a shareholder. No arrangement is made for costs of running the company or making the money. This is a bad business practice. Ubi admitted that at a point he didn't pay Iyanya the 50% from Tecno's revenue. That shows honesty on his part. When Iyanya left the record label, he was supposed to split his earnings from endorsements with Ubi and the company. He didn't do this. This means that both of them didn't abide by the terms of the contract 100%. For me, with this arrangement Ubi was being cheated. He was basically slaving for Iyanya. He did the right thing by ending the partnership. I think both gentlemen were not lying in their respective interviews, one man just didn't understand the workings of music as a business and that man was Iyanya. He expected too much

[@MoriyonIpuole]

very objective analysis Mr.Obi E.

[@starwizzy9426]

I don’t know you, but God please you. I thought it was just me that realized how bad this contract was even for Ubi. Cos the money due to the label, Iyanya was still getting 50%.

[@bartholomewukwuoma1643]

Well, this should be a huge eye-opener for you guys - Ubi and Iyanya. There are things you don't do in a joint venture or corporate enterprise. Irrespective of how competent you are as a manager, you cannot be above the board. Despite that Iyanya didn't show interest in Teckno, that does not change the status of the business contract as being co-owned. Ubi, you ran the business as a manager, as such, you are obligated to account and report to the board irrespective of your personal contributions. However, and where necessary, you could demand for a refund of private costs you incurred on behalf of the enterprise, and the proceeds thereafter be shared duly according the terms of the business contract. Anyway, like I said initially, both of you should learn from this. Mistakes made, lessons be learned.

Now, we all can be sentimental about all issues; but the fact is that Ubi Franklin is a Lawyer by education and profession. And all these reflected in all his dealings with Iyanya. This guy set up businesses, at different times with all documented proofs. In a court of law, it's a popular saying that it's not what you know, it's what you can prove. I think Iyanya's mistakes was typical of many Nigerian artistes; whose focus always is Baba...I wanna Blow. Everything else, they don't focus. We have seen Kiss Daniel, and co also exploited. It's high time they got some education with their being "Blow". Osagie Alonge has addressed this so much on his now rested program...Facts Only! And a company is just like a vehicle to conduct businesses, so if two parties have a company; and one refused to put money in for investments....we all know business is risks taking. If you don't venture into risks why do you wanna share in the profit? Now, my question is...If Teckno has failed as a project and Ubi has loads of uncleared bills; would Iyanya have agreed to bring money out of his pocket to defray the costs? Come on men, we should be real. Ubi Franklin even admitted without Iyanya, he wouldn't be where he is today. Come on men, that's a real man.

Iyanya is an artist so he will focus on his artistry and remember all this was 4years ago when Dey had nothing, so it’s definitive Iyanya wanted fame cos the fame brings the money UBI set up the business on..

I believe Ubi should have taken time to explain to Iyanya the implication of saying he does not want to do business, you could have made him understand perfectly his position. But for animosity in Ubi's mind that Iyanya suddenly want to leave his management i believe Ubi was already thinking of post Iyanya from the begining, circumstances made Iyanya become a stong part of the label. Ubi is just a business man who sees what others aren't seeing but hoping they fail before he could point it out to them... Iyanya was your partner you must explain and if possible back it up with legal pappers. If your proceeds from Iyanya wasn't running things around in the coy you (since you are trained legally) you could have signed an agreement that released Iyanya from the proceeds of Tecno since he as a partner has refused to meet his responsibility as one.

[@seundaniel8809]

[@obinnaanosike5946]

Terrible interviewers!!! Daddy freeze let Inyanya speak. Why cut this guy off all the time? Both Dotun and this girl were just acting ignorant. I heard more from them than Ubi. Complete waste of time BTW, If you didn't invest, why do you want to harvest? Was Inyanya expecting Ubi to give him reward from Tekno despite financing him alone? Well, Ubi's mistake is not creating a different company to manage Tekno. If all these are true.

On one side Iyanya have some rights to be angry and that's due to the fact that he was the main brand of Made Men Music and a Co Owner and he didn't make any much from the products released from the platform due to the fact that Obi said he didn't invest. Now tell me why didn't Obi create a different platform for his own side hustle because he knows it possibly wouldn't fly. They both didn't handle things properly. Iyanya Just want to focus on music, Music is Business and Obi was a step ahead from my point of view.

Iyanya is one ignorant fool. How you going to be partner with someone WITHOUT making it legally binding? What's the purpose of your music if you don't want to be involved in the money? If you don't want to be personally involved in the business aspect of your music, get a relative of yours who will. At the end of the day it is the documents that matters. I can't blame Ubi Franklin at all. Iyanya chose to distance himself from the money aspect of his music and Ubi capitalized on the ignorance. Every smart businessman will do the same.

Firstly, Psychologists feedback on the body language of the UBI man would tell a lot. He has bagged a lot of lies from his gesticulations. Secondly, the Interviewers did an extremely poor job on this one, the Lady obviously a bit better off than the blonde hair OAP. They may be good at their jobs on other days, but this one was really bad. Interviewers should be in control of their interviews on topics and create close/open-ended questions with right timing which was missing here. There are other OAPs that can do better than this. So my verdict here is that it is inconclusive to me because of the allegations and accusations made by Iyanya were not really addressed. A better interview is needed.

[@moarthouse3275]

Did Iyanya have knowledge of your bros been partners? Do you have a financial audit of income generated from the company from the said period of partnership? Was Iyanya well briefed as to the legal implications of all the company dealings, documentation etc? If he is getting a 70/30 deal from management, then it means invariably he should be making more money than UBI. cause the joint partnership as regards MMMG is 50/50, Management is 70/30 Also kudos on the tekno project, in as much as you carried all the burden or responsibility, legally speaking you owed him profit from Tekno. What could or should have transpired is the half split of all Tekno’s offsetting Bills as regards promotion etc and then ask Iyanya to pay for half of what you had to put in as regards Tekno’s project. So Far Iyanya has been ignorant and nonchalant about business. I think You should have lectured Iyanya properly as a friend and as a business partner behind close doors. Also I feel iyanya has to learn how to separate business from personal relationships. By the way I love your 96.9 Logo design. The bottom right one...

[@sewueseallagh10]

It’s funny the comments I’m reading about Ubi being a fraud. Yes they both made mistakes and Ubi was honest enough to admit and say what he did that wasn’t part of the contract. However, when running a PARTNERSHIP, equal amount of effort is required. Clearly, Iyanya isn’t business savvy he just wanted to focus on music and Ubi on the business aspect. Everything was documented which Ubi showed as evidence. Whatever Iyanya’s allegations are, are just pure word of mouth which cannot be used as evidence anywhere. Until you can prove any allegation with Facts, it’s just mere allegation. But people will generally believe what they want to believe irrespective. At the end of the day, we all learn. Hopefully they resolve whatever underlying issues they have.

[@cyn1373]

Then ubi should suffer the financial consequences of his mistake. It wasn’t a mistake it was premeditated ubi knew exactly what he was doing from the jump. He’s a fraud.

[@sewueseallagh10]

Cyn 137 I’ve seen your reply on most people’s comments. It’s perfectly fine if you don’t agree with people who are trying to be logical about the whole situation. If you accuse someone you have to back up your claims with facts, word of mouth isn’t accepted as evidence anywhere but Pure Facts which Ubi has presented. You can accuse him for all you like but doesn’t change anything. Have a great day

Ubi is a dishonest dude and a fraud for not submitting the right document that had iyanya name in corporate affairs commission

[@Boldupmotivation]

Sewuese Allagh God bless you. At least, someone has sense on this thread. The only mistake Ubi made is not reviewing the contract and continuing to spend money and effort on Tekno alone, whilst still allowing the Contract remain valid. But no one will let Iyanya now start benefitting from Tekno after making it clear his disdain for him and allowing Ubi alone run things, how is he a fraud. Iyanya didn't see Tekno coming, didn't support but wanted props when Tekno became big based on another person's hardworking, it doesn't make sense. But legally, Ubi made that little mistake.
