Ebuka Obi-Uchendu’s 2010 Tweet Criticizing Paystack Co-Founder Ezra Olubi Goes Viral

A 2010 tweet by popular media personality Ebuka Obi-Uchendu has resurfaced on social media, drawing renewed attention for its direct criticism of Paystack co-founder Ezra Olubi.

In the tweet, Ebuka chastised Olubi over what he described as “creepy fantasies,” sparking debates online about early social media commentary and accountability.

The tweet went viral after users began sharing it widely, highlighting how past online statements from public figures can resurface years later. Many social media users reacted with nostalgia, humor, and commentary on the evolution of online behavior.

“This old tweet just shows that some things never change — Ebuka called it way back in 2010,” one user tweeted.

While some defended Ebuka’s right to voice his opinion at the time, others noted the enduring impact of social media posts and the importance of considering how such statements might be perceived years later.

The viral resurgence has reignited discussions on social media accountability, celebrity commentary, and the early days of Nigeria’s tech and startup community, given Olubi’s current prominence as a co-founder of the fintech giant Paystack.
