The Ezra Olubi controversy has taken an unexpected turn after old screenshots, allegedly from his past tweets, resurfaced online.
The posts were shared by several social media users, creating shock across Nigeria’s tech space.
Many readers said they never imagined such claims would appear this late in his career.
The screenshots spread quickly overnight. Moreover, several commentators insisted that the content felt “very unexpected,” especially coming from someone seen as a bold figure in tech.
The posts were shared with little context, yet the reactions grew within hours.
According to users, the screenshots included claims about past health disclosures and troubling remarks about personal conduct.
One alleged tweet read, “I had been diagnosed with both HIV and Hepatitis B after going to the hospital for a general checkup.” Meanwhile, other alleged posts contained unsettling jokes that many viewers described as disturbing.
Some of these tweets were said to involve comments about coworkers, young girls, and even graphic references to a cat.
Several users highlighted statements like those implying “s3xual activity with his cat,” which intensified the outcry.
The wave of reactions grew stronger when a bisexual woman, who once dated Olubi in a polycule, shared her own screenshots.
She said the old tweets contained “s3xualised comments about min0rs” and questioned the silence of people close to him.
In addition, she called out a few popular feminist voices, saying they should speak up rather than ignore the claims.
Furthermore, many Nigerians expressed surprise that the posts, if real, went unnoticed for years.
Some wondered how such remarks could remain buried despite Olubi’s visibility in the tech ecosystem.
Users asked if the industry overlooked early warning signs or simply never saw the alleged posts.
A resurfaced photo of Olubi holding a black cat also went viral.
It was circulated by a popular commentator, who linked the image to earlier alleged jokes in the screenshots.
However, several users warned against drawing conclusions without proper evidence, urging others to stay cautious.
The Ezra Olubi controversy has now turned into a wider conversation about digital footprints, public accountability, and Nigeria’s evolving tech culture.
