A resurfaced photograph of Paystack co-founder, Ezra Olubi, holding his pet cat has sparked intense discussions across social media platforms, particularly on X (formerly Twitter). The renewed buzz comes amid widespread outrage over a series of disturbing old tweets attributed to him.
In recent days, Nigerians online have been circulating screenshots of controversial posts allegedly made by Olubi years ago. In several of the old tweets, he was seen making inappropriate, unsettling remarks involving minors. Some posts also appeared to imply an alleged sexual relationship with his cat — comments that many users have described as “deeply troubling.”
As the backlash grew, a new wave of attention was drawn to an old image of Olubi carrying his black cat. The photo, shared by a popular X commentator, quickly went viral, with users linking it to the resurfaced tweets and fueling further debate.
The commentator wrote that the newly resurfaced image “adds context to the disturbing old tweets,” prompting thousands of reactions from Nigerians who expressed shock, anger, and disappointment.
The controversy has continued to dominate conversations on X, with many calling for clarity and accountability regarding the circulating posts, while others caution against rushing to judgment without verified explanations.
