Old BBNaija Ebuka’s tweets show him rebuking Ezra Olubi over his creepy posts

Key Points

  • Ebuka rebuked an old tweet about creepy fantasies. His reply surfaced after related screenshots returned online.
  • Screenshots of the exchange spread across X and Instagram. Users pushed the clip back into public debate quickly.
  • Paystack paused Ezra Olubi while it investigates the claims. Olubi also deactivated his X account amid the uproar.

Ebuka Obi-Uchendu replied to a Ezra’s tweet in 2010, scolding its tone. Those lines resurfaced this today after screenshots of the exchange circulated widely.

Screenshots showed past posts that many readers found deeply disturbing. Ezra Olubi deactivated his X account after the images spread online.

Screenshots and the resurfaced reply

The screenshots circulated first on X before moving to other social feeds. When the old reply reappeared, users dug into the original exchange and thread context.

Ebuka’s 2010 line used blunt language to call the post creepy and wrong. His reply framed the Ezra’s then-old note as unacceptable and ill judged.

Public reaction split between praise and critique of the tone used. Some readers lauded Ebuka for calling out the odd phrasing in the original post.

Company action and wider allegations

Paystack announced a temporary pause for one of its founders while it investigates. The fintech firm said it opened a formal probe into the online allegations.

Other recent accusations also emerged in separate reports this week. A public statement from Max Obae added fresh allegations against Ezra Olubi.

The company suspension and account deactivation intensified public scrutiny. Readers and commentators urged careful checks before drawing firm conclusions.

Past posts can shape how new claims are seen by the public. Media analysts said resurfaced material often shifts the focus of current debates.

What matters now is verified evidence and formal findings. Police or company statements will be needed to confirm any legal claims.

Ebuka has not issued a fresh public statement about the screenshots. His 2010 reply remains the only public line attributed to him so far.

Olubi’s team has not yet provided a detailed public rebuttal. Journalists said more official responses may appear as investigations progress.

Newsrooms and social users should treat archival posts with clear context. Experts warned against rushing to legal or professional conclusions from old lines.

ValidUpdates will keep monitoring statements from company and witnesses. We will publish verified updates if police or corporate findings arrive.

Max Obae exposes Ezra Olubi’s past after breakup email

Key Points

  • Max Obae accused Ezra Olubi of manipulation and abuse. She said he ended their romance with a ‘Severance’ email.
  • Old tweets from the 2010s resurfaced showing shocking explicit content. Screenshots were archived in a public GitHub evidence repository.
  • Paystack suspended Ezra Olubi immediately while it reviews claims. Public outrage trended with multiple hashtags demanding answers.

On November 12, 2025, a breakup email ignited a wide online storm. Max Obae, known as @makispoke, publicly accused Ezra Olubi the next day. Her account linked the email to alleged abuse and manipulation.

She said Olubi used charm and money to control partners and staff. Read Max Obae’s full accusation thread for her account of events. Her post did not name him initially but clues pointed clearly.

Old tweets and the GitHub archive

Screenshots of Olubi’s old X posts circulated within hours on social media. Many posts allegedly dated from 2010 to 2017 and shocked users. A public GitHub repository centralised the screenshots and commentary for journalists.

Examples included tweets that referenced minors and bestiality, according to screenshots. Others showed crude remarks about colleagues and sexual conduct at work. The resurfacing amplified nationwide calls for action and public accountability against Olubi.

Olubi deactivated his X account as the evidence trended across platforms. Close associates also scrubbed public profiles amid growing scrutiny online. The disappearance fuelled speculation and intense debate across Nigeria’s tech scene.

Corporate response and suspension

Read Paystack suspends co-founder for details on the internal probe. The company told reporters it takes such matters extremely seriously. Stripe, Paystack’s parent, has not publicly commented on the suspension.

Paystack confirmed it removed Ezra Olubi from duties pending a formal review, according to industry outlets. Tech news sites and local papers reported the suspension on November 13 and 14, 2025. The move paused his public-facing roles while the company investigates the claims.

The allegations have renewed discussion on workplace culture inside Nigeria’s tech firms. Observers say the case will test governance and complaint-handling at fast-growing startups. Many users are calling for legal steps and a transparent review of the archive material.

Ezra Olubi co-founded Paystack, a firm acquired by Stripe in 2020 and central to many Nigerian online businesses. For now, the public record relies on Obae’s account and the archived material online. The next steps depend on Paystack’s probe outcomes and any legal follow-up.

Paystack suspends co-founder Ezra Olubi amid sexual misconduct probe

Key Points

  • Paystack suspends Ezra Olubi pending a full investigation. The firm removed him from all duties immediately.

The allegations surfaced on social media around 12 November 2025, involving a subordinate. ValidUpdates also covers a related political clash; see Asari Dokubo wants court-martialled.

The allegations prompted renewed scrutiny of old tweets attributed to Olubi between 2009 and 2013. Those posts included explicit remarks about colleagues and references to minors.

Investigation and corporate stakes

Paystack said Olubi has been removed from all duties pending the inquiry. The firm added it will not comment further until the probe completes.

Olubi did not respond to requests for comment and deactivated his X account. The company confirmed it had received media enquiries but will limit public updates while the process runs.

Industry watchers say the case tests how startups police senior leaders’ conduct. Because Paystack is owned by Stripe, any reputational harm may reach global partners.

What comes next

Observers expect the probe might prompt board review and policy changes. Stakeholders will watch for clear processes and visible outcomes from Paystack.

Company human resources will likely lead internal interviews and evidence gathering. Confidentiality and witness protection are usual components of such probes.

If wrongdoing is found, outcomes range from training to termination for cause. Legal teams may assess whether civil or criminal steps are appropriate.

Staff morale can be affected even before any formal findings emerge. Paystack faces pressure to show clear support for employee safety.

Investors often seek prompt and clear resolutions to limit business disruption. ValidUpdates also covered a public clash; see Lt Yerima berated by Wike.

Regulators may monitor the case for signals about sector governance norms. Any regulatory interest could widen scrutiny beyond the company itself.

Paystack’s public relations team will shape the messaging around the probe. Careful language can avoid prejudging outcomes while reassuring concerned audiences.

Background reporting notes Paystack’s rapid growth since its founding in Lagos. The firm became more visible after acquisition by a global payments company.

The current probe may lead other startups to tighten workplace conduct rules. Industry groups could update guidance on senior executive behaviour and oversight.

Paystack said it will respect individuals involved and protect the integrity of the process. The company added that it will update the public when investigations finish.
