He should be slapped back to reality, his whole mannerism shows a pampered spoilt brat, but termination of a co founder is very extreme.

If visa can be denied based on previous posts, what stops a company from sacking a worker due to previous posts. Or are you talking about the statute of limitations here?
Visa is a different case as it was clearly stated at the time of application.

A contract document e.g. offer letter is a different ball game as it states what is and would be. Unless we are looking at background check clause and if such is not in it, Ezra should sue.

Let him seek for legal counsel.

Yes, a one hundred year post can cost even your descendants their jobs. Digital footprints is not a joke.
Until it is time to judge a woman by her past, y'all will start to echo past is past.
Very hypocritical.

Disney did it to James Gunn. And look how that turned out.

Harvard just kicked out Lawrence Summers over emails he shared with Epstein, his fellow Isreali-American.

Larry Summers was a former President of Harvard University. Epstein was first jailed for sex offence related to Minors. The emails of Summers are not even as criminal like the posts credited to Ezra.

In reality, it is always better to step aside since it's not trumped up. If he remains clean and work harder, they may even bring him back like Steve Jobs.

The evidence indicted him and lucky not to be prosecuted. If he push it further, he is playing with jail and can be prosecuted in the US for one obscure law.
Bringing up steve jobs is like comparing apple with mango. Jobs case was attributed to power struggle and slow Macintosh sales.

It doesn't apply rara.

He didn't make those posts as a Paystack employee.
They were there long before they founded Paystack.
The sack would have been right if the posts were made within the period he's working at Paystack.

So, if I was in Rural primary school and I was always taking last position, and moved to Urban primary school, you'll deny me first position I worked hard for because my old school report said I was always last in the class?

Doesn't make sense.

IANAL

Was Stripe aware of the posts in 2020. Were those posts directly traceable to Ezra at the time of the acquisition?

He probably did worse form of abrasiveness and toxicity but no catchy internet like now wink

One of the issues was Jobs' alleged abrasive and authoritarian approach with people. He was known for pushing people too hard and creating a toxic work environment, despite his exceptional vision and creativity in building the company.

The major issue here is dismissal without a fair hearing, as this will not qualify as a termination of contract in the legal sense.

He would have removed his post if he were a changed person. His views then are the same as his views now. Nothing has changed.

Absolutely!! The internet holds receipts indefinitely, this should serve as a lesson for all you cyber gangstas quick to post with no thought to the potential long-term consequence of your post.

At first, I thought this was just going to be some legal gymnastics,but when I got to where the writer said public and discoverable , I began to pay closer attention to the article.

A contract is supposed to provide certainty and not be some kind of legal landmine. If certainty is thrown out, then contracts are not even worth the paper they are written on. I mean, what's the point of entering into one?

But the company could say, they were blinded sided by the tweets. After all, would you continue to keep a person as your babysitter when their pedophilic tweets comes to light after many years if you were their current employer? Hypothetically, would you advise an ant colony to continue to keep as a pet an animal who previously made blood curdling tweets about their ant eating escapades many years ago but which has now suddenly come to light?

His past is his past
Re: Ezra vs Paystack: Can A Company Use A 10-Year-Old Post To Terminate A Contract? by abbey621(m): 4:08pm On Nov 25, 2025
They didn't use the tweet, they used his inappropriate relationship with a junior staff, the tweets were just jara. The parent company Stripe does not play with shit like that hence they have a valid reason. He'll be compensated but they can't risk the reputational damage of him being the face of the company!

Written by a legal practitioner, A. O Akinyemi Esq.
It always surprise me when a person or company like paystack fake a public clean perception.

We're talking about a company that has one of the lowest ratings amongst group of companies in the service they offer. But they're not bothered by their image in shambles according their own customers.

Paystack has withheld my earnings since 31st October, and won't explain why they can't give me my money, other than that they're "reviewing" my account. For over a month!!

Many people are groaning of the same ill treatment. Just go to Google and search "paystack review" then go to trust pilot site. Their rating is nothing to write home about.

I opened this thread about them https://www.nairaland.com/8561139/paystack-not-reliable-company

Kindly help me move it to the front page

You are supposed to do due diligence on the person even before going ahead to seal the contract.......

Many persons taking sides against the person are speaking in favour of PBAT forgetting that he once told PGEJ to resign given the insecurity issue that is bedeviling Nigeria and worse the POTUS has redesignated the country and we can see that even the presidency is indicting itself.....
It's completely hypocritical.

Yes
Anything that will affect the whole is not a important as the whole
It is better for one man to be cut off then the entire company to go out of business for his twisted mind

I guess yes, with the way things are going and the company right to good public image

Logically, No, when we are young we have done stuff or written stuff because of youthfulness, people grow up but why use his past to judge his future, that is unfair

But I get the company point of view, they have a name and image to protect.
remember that this is not only past - it's present and future. This is mental illness - paedophila and psychopathy.

Yes, I am supposed to do due diligence, but what if new facts come out that can potentially spell doom for my business, what should I do? Fold my arms and resign to fate and say I didn't do enough due diligence and watch my business go under? I get the due diligence part but the reputation of a million dollar business is at stake.

Me, I'll just like to see the legal fireworks go off.

This case will set a precedent, no doubt.

Well, let's see the legal fireworks.
Precedence matters.
Such things help a lot given the country we are.
Some day some political class comments would be used against for them not just to get political apointpments but also not seek elective offices of whatsoever kind.
We are getting there. It's not just for the private sector alone.
