Nyako recently opened up about a deeply emotional chapter in her life, sharing how she lost a significant amount of money while living in a shelter. In a heartfelt TikTok live session, the mother of three broke down in tears as she recalled losing over KSh 3.8 million (approximately 26,000 euros). She confessed that she had the cash on her when she moved into the shelter, but somehow, by the time she left, all the money was gone and she couldn’t account for any of it.
Nyako described the experience as baffling and heartbreaking. She admitted she had no idea how the money vanished, and even suggested that it felt like a case of being bewitched—something many people say when they suffer unexpected financial losses that defy explanation. According to her, it was as if the money disappeared into thin air, leaving her with absolutely nothing by the time she exited the shelter.
Things began to unravel for her when she lost support from her once-loyal TikTok followers, particularly after some online drama with regular gifters. The decline in her online popularity coincided with a difficult personal situation, including the revocation of her permanent residency. She later revealed she had to move to a different city, and that’s when her struggles intensified.
In the midst of this turmoil, she found herself in a shelter with her children, trying to figure out her next steps. She expressed immense gratitude to a close friend named Nina, who stepped in and helped her find a new home. Without that intervention, Nyako said she could have ended up completely homeless with her kids.
Despite the hardships, Nyako recently shared a more hopeful update: she has now moved into a new house and found a job working as a butcher. This new chapter has given her a fresh start and a sense of direction as she works to rebuild her life.
Reflecting on her financial loss, she warned others about how quickly money can disappear, especially when one lacks financial wisdom or is going through emotional distress. She noted how some people think they are cursed or bewitched because their money just vanishes without any logical explanation—and she now finds herself identifying with that sentiment.
Her story sparked a wave of reactions online, with some people expressing sympathy and others offering criticism. While a few netizens accused her of mismanaging her money, others seemed to think she was exaggerating or using the story as a way to attract more support. Still, many viewers resonated with her vulnerability and appreciated her honesty in sharing such a difficult moment.
Looking ahead, Nyako mentioned she is open to the idea of returning to Kenya, where she originally hails from. She said her plan is to go back once her youngest child turns 16. She dreams of retiring in Kenya, where she believes she’ll have more freedom to make choices about her life and career. She also hopes to find a reasonably priced apartment for her children to help them live independently and manage their bills.
Nyako’s story is one of resilience—rising from rock bottom and slowly finding her footing again.
