Ezra Olubi’s Controversial Past Tweets

Social media has been buzzing recently after decade-old tweets of Ezra Olubi resurfaced, especially following his fallout with a former partner. Between 2009 and 2013, Olubi posted multiple tweets containing sexually explicit jokes about coworkers, raising eyebrows and sparking controversy.

Some of the posts included claims of experiencing erections during meetings, intentions to photograph a colleague’s thighs, and references involving minors and sexualized anime characters. One particular tweet from May 23, 2011, read: “Monday will be more fun with an ‘a’ in it. Touch a coworker today. Inappropriately.” These posts have since elicited mixed reactions online, with many questioning his judgment and character at the time.

Amid this renewed scrutiny, social media users also dug up a video from the 2022 National Honours ceremony that captured the late President Buhari giving a continuous, discerning look at Olubi after he attended the event wearing lipstick and makeup to receive his OON (Order of the Niger) award. The clip shows Buhari’s gaze fixed intently on Olubi, prompting online speculation and commentary.

The video was shared by user @sepril23NG on X (formerly Twitter), who captioned it: “Only Buhari knew what he saw,” highlighting the enigmatic and memorable expression given by the former president.

As the video circulates once again, netizens are revisiting not only Olubi’s past tweets but also the unique moment at the awards ceremony, sparking renewed discussions on social media regarding both Olubi’s public image and the late president’s reaction.
