RANSOM!

Just read on social media about a lady being threatened with blackmail.

Her and hubby decided to have a child through surrogacy as they are old in years and have been trying without success. Everything went smoothly, surrogate Mum was well treated and settled based on whatever terms they agreed upon, only to turn around and decide to blackmail the parents given that woman in question is a public figure and the family of the couple were unaware of their decision to birth their child through surrogacy.

Remember the story of Nigerian actress Empress Njama whose fiance was blackmailing her because he was in possession of her nudes?

Remember the story of the Late Sammy Okposi whose Baby Mama decided to blackmail?

The pattern is always the same!

Evil thrives in secrecy.

There are so many people who'd gladly want to feed from your pains, mistakes, weaknesses, disabilities...

Some pretend to be friends, only to have information they can use against you.

Whatever the reason a person has to hang something over you, be it from your mistakes or whatever, do not allow anyone hold such power over you because once the blackmail starts it will continue.

Therefore, kill it by speaking up

Own the situation by opening your mouth.

Present your case yourself and do not mind what people will say as this is exactly why many say nothing.

What's the worst that can happen?

If it's so much of a big deal you'll make the news and in the space of a week or two, your news is forgotten or overtaken by another current issue.

Emotional, financial, mental kind of blackmail and more, NEVER ALLOW SUCH SEED GROW IN YOUR MIND!
