Max Obae, the former polycule partner of Paystack co-founder Ezra Olubi, has praised the company following confirmation that Olubi was dismissed over allegations of s3xual misconduct.
Reacting to a report announcing the termination, Max described the decision as “a sign of a mature company, and a positive act for the start-up industry in Africa.”
Max was previously in a three-way romantic relationship with Ezra and her lesb!an partner, a dynamic the trio openly acknowledged in past social media posts. In a separate post, Max also revealed he had completed repayment of a $55,000 loan previously owed to Olubi.
Sharing a screenshot of a bank confirmation email, he wrote: “The final transfer of $5k has now been delivered to Ezra, and with this delivery the total $55k loan has now been transferred back to him. That’s that.”
The reactions come after weeks of online uproar triggered by the resurfacing of Ezra’s old disturbing tweets, which led Paystack to suspend him and announce an investigation. Olubi later claimed he was fired before the process was concluded and without being given the opportunity to defend himself.
