After handing Ezra his prize, Buhari, who couldn’t help but be amazed, regarded him.
Nigerians reacted to Buhari’s look, finding it amusing how he responded to the presence of Paystack’s co-founder.
However, this is not the first time that Ezra’s attire and appearance have drawn criticism.
Ezra typically wears lipstick, has long dreadlocks, and has black paint on his nails for his photographs.
Ezra, who debuted his use of makeup in December 2013, revealed to the New York Times in an exclusive interview that he typically wears lipstick, long nails painted a bright color, and tousled dreads to investor meetings in San Francisco and Lagos.
