According to Nyako, the department she worked in was delicate, and she mentioned being targeted by jealous individuals on TikTok. They collected some of her videos that appeared controversial.

These videos were then forwarded to her department, resulting in her losing her job. However, she shared that she had a court case and revealed that she won against her employer.

"I won the court case against my employer and I'm good. I'm not going to drive the buses again and my life is even better," Nyako said.

Nyako continued to express that losing her job actually opened doors for her, and she expressed her gratitude for no longer being in that position.

Despite the challenges she has faced, Nyako mentioned that she has a beautiful heart and emphasized that she doesn't harbor any hatred because she simply doesn't have time for it.

She emphasized her focus on the future and acknowledged that her past experiences have shaped her into the person she is today.
