Ebo Noah,[1] Ebo Jesus, or simply Noah, is a Ghanaian self-proclaimed prophet and social media personality who gained international attention in 2025 for predicting a catastrophic global flood.[2] He became known for constructing large wooden vessels and claiming divine revelation, drawing significant online interest and local controversy.[3][4][5]
Background
[change | change source]Ebo Noah is a Ghanaian man in his early 30s who first attracted widespread attention in mid-2025 after posting videos on social media platforms including Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. In these videos, he claimed that God had revealed to him that a massive global flood would begin on 25 December 2025 (Christmas Day) and last for several years, submerging the Earth in what he described as a biblical-style deluge.
Ebo said that he was instructed by God to build multiple wooden “arks” — analogous to the biblical Noah’s Ark[6] — to save the faithful and necessary animals from the impending catastrophe. He documented the construction of these vessels at sites in Ghana, often working with local fishermen and followers to build them.[7]
Doomsday Prediction and Public Reaction
[change | change source]According to his claims, continuous rain would begin on December 25, 2025, and persist for three to four years, resulting in worldwide flooding. He urged people to prepare, gather provisions, and join him at the ark construction sites. Thousands of followers reportedly traveled to places like Elmina and other areas in Ghana in anticipation of boarding the arks.[8][9]
His predictions generated mixed reactions: some followers believed and prepared earnestly, while many observers treated the claims with skepticism or ridicule. The story became a viral viral topic across news outlets and social media platforms globally, with debates over the authenticity of his claims and the potential psychological and social impacts.[10]
Postponement of Prophecy and Backlash
[change | change source]When the predicted flood did not occur on December 25, 2025, Ebo announced that the event had been “postponed” following prayer and additional divine instruction, stating that God had granted humanity more time and that more arks were needed. He urged followers not to panic and continued to present himself as acting on new visions. The failure of the prediction drew widespread criticism. Reports surfaced alleging that Ebo used funds donated by followers, ostensibly for the ark project, to purchase a luxury Mercedes-Benz valued at approximately $100,000, raising questions and controversy over his finances and intentions.[11]
Some disillusioned individuals reportedly reacted negatively, with at least one incident of a follower burning an ark in anger over the unfulfilled prophecy.[12]
Public and Media Perception

His story has been referenced in discussions about misinformation, doomsday predictions, and the impact of viral religious content on social media.[13]
