Controversy Trails Ghanaian Prophet After Failed Christmas Day Flood Prophecy
Drama and widespread disbelief have followed a Ghanaian preacher, Prophet Ebo Noah, after his widely publicised prophecy predicting a global flood on Christmas Day failed to materialise.
The self-styled prophet had earlier claimed that divine revelation warned of a catastrophic three-year worldwide flood that would mark the end of the world on December 25. According to him, humanity could only be saved through the construction of modern-day arks, similar to the biblical account of Noah. Eyes Of Lagos reports,
In the weeks leading up to Christmas, Ebo Noah reportedly drew significant public attention after announcing that he had completed 10 contemporary arks and urged followers to prepare for evacuation ahead of the predicted disaster. His message attracted thousands of believers, many of whom reportedly took the prophecy seriously.
On Christmas Day, an estimated 4,000 followers were said to have gathered in expectation, awaiting instructions to board the arks before the foretold flood would begin. However, as the day progressed without any unusual occurrence, anticipation reportedly gave way to confusion and disappointment.
The situation further intensified after the prophet was later spotted dressed in a smart, casual outfit, abandoning the sackcloth he had previously worn as a symbol of warning and repentance. The sudden change in appearance, without any public explanation or clarification, sparked speculation that the prophecy had been quietly withdrawn or abandoned.
The incident has since generated widespread reactions across social media platforms, with opinions ranging from frustration and disbelief to satire and criticism. Many users have questioned the credibility of the prophecy, while others expressed concern over the emotional and spiritual impact on followers who reportedly placed their faith in the prediction.
As of the time of filing this report, Prophet Ebo Noah has not issued an official statement addressing the failed prophecy or the concerns raised by members of the public.
