It all started with a video shared by a girl dissing critics who bash young women for posting semi-nude pictures of themselves on the net.

The unidentified girl tells haters to mind their business, saying it is her choice to expose her body.

“Hawa watu wa katambe kafikie pastor, ikifikia pastor kwani nitafukuzwa church? Like you boys have very stupid aims though. If I decide to show off my body, like it is mine, I will show it off till the day I die,” said the girl.

The girl’s video quickly went viral through the hashtag #ifikiewazazi.

Kenyans started sharing raunchy video and photos of young boys and girls posing suggestively, with some in semi-nude state.

Kenyans on Twitter bashed the boys and girls while others sympathised with the level of 'immorality' exhibited by the youth in the society.

Most of the images and videos shared on Twitter using the #ifikiewazazi hashtag are too graphic, and some salacious, for the Nation to republish.

Young Kenyans have taken freedom of expression to a whole new level in social media, with some posting obscene, offensive and abusive messages.

Most of the semi-nude photos and raunchy videos are shared on Instagram, a photo and video-sharing social networking service owned by Facebook Inc.

Other popular social sites among Kenyan teens are Facebook, WhatsApp, Twitter and Snapchat.
