Germany-based Kenyan TikToker Nyako has stepped into the heated online debate surrounding a Russian man accused of secretly filming intimate encounters with Kenyan women. In a video posted on Sunday, February 15, the “TikTok President” made it clear that she refuses to join the chorus of condemnation aimed at the women involved.
Nyako’s stance is rooted in a mix of bodily autonomy and the harsh economic realities that drive people to seek a better life abroad.
Opportunity and Ambition
Nyako argued that many of these women viewed the encounter as a potential “ticket” to a life in Europe. She challenged the public’s outrage, questioning why onlookers feel entitled to police women’s decisions.
“Those women saw their opportunity to come to Europe, and they used it with their bodies. I cannot judge them.”
She pointedly asked why the public is bothered when it wasn’t their own bodies involved, stating,
“If it is not your body… why are you bothered?”
Calling Out Hypocrisy
A significant portion of Nyako’s defense focused on the backlash from men. She highlighted the double standards often found in societal moralizing, noting that many men “trashing” these women are often unfaithful themselves.
She further addressed claims that some women left their husbands to meet the man, arguing that the desperate desire to relocate to Europe often outweighs other factors. Whether the women were married or working as security guards, Nyako insisted their choices are their own.
”I will defend all those women myself because I understand that even some of them who are married were seeking to come to Europe. People should consider the economic realities that might push women to make such decisions instead of rushing to condemn them.”
A “Civilized World”
Nyako concluded by dismissing the shock surrounding the scandal, noting that in a modern, civilized world, individuals should be free to do as they please with their lives. She urged the public to stop debating whether these women had “feelings” or were “right,” reiterating that personal choice should be the final word.
