Nigerian music artist manager and blogger, Ubi Franklin, has chastised Nollywood actress, Kate Henshaw, for calling him a ‘wanna be’ blogger and her deafening silence on the death of Sylvester Oromoni.
Sylvester was a student at Dowen College Lagos, before he recently died from injuries sustained after he was bullied by five other students of the school.
In an Instagram video that Katie shared, she clapped back at those calling her out over her silence in the case of Sylvester Oromoni, and warned them never to tag her in meaningless posts again.

She also referred to Ubi Franklin as a ‘wanna be’ blogger, after accusing him of writing about her without adequate knowledge of what transpired.
She posted:
“You people just foam at the mouth and call names for what? You choose when and not to speak out. I choose to speak out every time and it is not for you to tell me and tag me to some meaningless post.”
“Clout-chasing wanna be blogger saying ‘I’m scrolling through celebrity pages.’ Oh please scroll through my page. Scroll. You will see the man’s picture there. You have the guts to tag me”
She went on to share some of what those who chastised her said: “‘I’m disappointed in you. You are disappointed in yourself. You cannot choose when and where not to speak. You cannot choose. Your outrage has to be seamless. Your faces, they are there. You’ve not gone to their pages.”
Ubi Franklin, while reacting to the name-calling by Kate, said he was fighting for justice for the late student and others, he told the actress not to hide under any disguise to attack him.
He also said he knew she went quiet because she is close to the owner of the school. He accused the 48-year-old actress of a double standard, as he said she had weighed in on such matters in the past.
In his words:
“Listen, if you never liked me and use that as an attack. I no kukuma need you for anything. I am fighting for justice. If you want disrespect, you shall be served.
“I know you are close to the owner of the school. So shhhhiiiii. You have in the past weighed in on issues like this, yes. But I wasn’t referring to you but close pals of the school owners and it was spelled out clearly.”
“Now we focus on justice. Dowen College Lagos and Premier Academy Lugbe Abuja. Parents of these children need closure. I no follow anyone come this world. If I talk you no like am, I go talk my own and you talk your own. Nothing I dey fear again for this life”
