Nyota Ndogo, born Mwanaisha Abdalla in Kenya, turned to social media in late December 2022 to tell how her followers had duped her.
In the post, in which her voice wavered between rage and despair, she singled out eight nameless renters who utilized her home and then failed to pay their fees.
“You who call yourselves my fans. You saw my Airbnb on Instagram and Facebook. You, who were travelling to Mombasa and preferred to sleep in Voi, came to my hotel and said you heard Nyota Ndogo has Airbnbs, which she has been advertising. I pay for the electricity and water. I pay for the Wi-Fi and the housekeeper at the Airbnb.
You come with your family- eight people and you say you are my fans. Are you really my fans? You come, you use the gas, electricity and water in the three bedrooms. You are provided with a housekeeper who must clean the house every morning, and you leave without paying?
“Without paying for Airbnb, you leave and then switch off your phones! And then you lie to the housekeeper that you have paid Nyota Ndogo. When did you pay me? Do you really have my number when there is a business number? God will curse you.
“What I am begging is, that I am the last person you people scam. Wherever you are going, go to a place where I am not there or don’t know. May you be beaten. I pray you are really beaten up until Kenyans know who you are. I am really praying you are beaten up.
“If you don’t stop renting AirBnbs, sleep there and run away without paying the bills, I pray you are really beaten up. I pray you are beaten until you toe the line because what you are doing is not good. It is not good at all what you are doing,” said Nyota Ndogo before she began crying painfully in the video.
She also revealed that among the eight, there were small children.
