Kenyan actress and comedian Nyaboke Moraa recently shared a deeply personal story that left her fans both amused and empathetic.
The mother of four recounted how a past relationship ended unexpectedly, revealing that the man she had been planning a future with abruptly broke up with her.
Dumped Over “Spirit of Death”
In an Instagram post on November 25, Nyaboke revealed that her former partner cited unusual reasons for the breakup, claiming he feared a “spirit of death” surrounding her.
This bizarre claim, she speculated, may have been influenced by his friends, who allegedly advised him to steer clear of her due to the personal losses she had suffered.
Reflecting on the situation, Nyaboke wrote in disbelief:
“Niki imagine kuna gaidi tulikuwa tunapanga maisha pamoja, alafu akaona nimefiwa sana akakimbia juu marafiki zake walimwambia ani avoid…nashangaa sana.”
Despite the heartbreak, Nyaboke chose to approach the ordeal with her signature humor, hinting at brighter days ahead by teasing her followers about a potential wedding. She wrote:
“Anyway niko na harusi August, nani anataka kuwa kwa list nisimsahau?”
Fans React to Nyaboke’s Resilience
Nyaboke’s candid and humorous take on her breakup resonated with her fans, who flooded her comments with laughter, support, and encouragement. Many cheered her on, jokingly asking to be included in the wedding guest list, with some assuming she was referring to August 2025.
A Year of Personal Tragedy
Nyaboke’s lighthearted post comes after an incredibly challenging year marked by profound personal losses. In 2024, she endured the devastating deaths of three close family members within a few months.
The heartbreak began in June when she lost her elder brother, who was laid to rest on June 16. Just weeks later, on July 28, her 19-year-old daughter, Marie, tragically passed away. Marie’s funeral was held on August 10 in Kadongo, Kisumu County.
As Nyaboke was still grappling with these tragedies, her father-in-law passed away on October 28, adding to her grief.
Strength and Positivity
Despite the pain of these losses, Nyaboke has shown incredible resilience. She has remained active on social media, sharing glimpses of her struggles alongside lighter moments, inspiring her followers with her openness and humor.
Her ability to find strength in adversity and maintain her connection with her audience has solidified her status as one of Kenya’s most relatable and beloved entertainers.
As Nyaboke looks ahead, fans are rallying around her, ready to celebrate her victories and provide unwavering support during her challenges.
Whether the hinted wedding becomes a reality or not, her story is a testament to resilience, positivity, and the power of finding humor even in life’s toughest moments.
