The "Ghanaian Noah" Controversy: From Prophesying a Global Deluge to Driving a Luxury Mercedes

A 30-year-old Ghanaian man, known as "Eboh Noah" or "Ebu Jesus," has ignited a storm of controversy across social media after claiming to be a modern-day prophet tasked with saving humanity from a "doomsday flood." Noah asserted that divine revelations warned him of a three-year continuous rainfall starting December 25th. Since August, he has utilized platforms like TikTok and Instagram to broadcast his "mission," showcasing small wooden boats he claimed would shelter 600 million people from the impending apocalypse.

The situation took a darker turn as thousands of followers reportedly sold their homes and donated life savings to secure a spot on his "ark." However, as the deadline approached, Noah was filmed driving a luxury Mercedes-Benz while still wearing his signature sackcloth attire—a stark contrast that sparked widespread skepticism and outrage. Despite being briefly detained by Ghanaian authorities for spreading false information, Noah released a new video claiming that God had "postponed" the flood to allow for more ship construction due to high demand. This case remains a chilling example of how religious manipulation and digital influence can exploit vulnerable populations.
