‘It used to be very easy being a good person’ – Empress Njamah’s brother, John reflects on life

The elder brother of Nollywood actress Empress Njamah, popular filmmaker John Njamah, has reflected on his life journey.

Njamah stated on her Instagram page on Wednesday that it used to be very easy to be a good person, but that this is no longer the case.

“It used to be very easy being a good person… you know helping as much as you can, giving whole heartedly and expecting nothing in return… it used to be very easy cos it was the right thing to do.. but now, a lot of bad things happen to good people… and this bad things are caused by people you have GIVEN in the past, people that you have opened your heart to, people that you call FRIENDS… and their reciprocity is all forms of bad gestures and ill thinking towards you… ITS REALLY SAD!. It used to be easy trusting people cos it was the right thing to do… but our present reality has dismissed all of that.. and has thought is otherwise,” he wrote.

This comes shortly after Empress broke her silence about the leaked x-rated videos of her.

The actress began the New Year on a contentious note when her ex-fiance, Josh Wade, leaked private videos to bloggers.

Njamah had left the relationship after learning that Wade had threatened to release such videos.

He allegedly fulfilled his threat in the early hours of 2023 by forming a WhatsApp group and posting videos he took of the actress in her home.

This sparked a backlash on social media, with women warned not to fall victim to such.

In a video released late Tuesday, the actress in the eye of the storm expressed gratitude for her life.

She thanked her fans for their support and stated that the majority of those who criticize her do not know the full story.

“I love you guys, I’m good. Thank you, guys, for all the love, support, and messages and visits. They can’t bring us down. we are far above you all devil’s incarnate.”

“I’m alive, I came out alive and I’m able to speak out, so many women are hiding under this torture, this torment, last-last, we move. I’m excited about my freedom.”
