Ghana’s ‘Ebo Noah’ Revises Doomsday Prophecy: Ark Builder Blames Satan for Failed December 25 Flood
In a dramatic twist that has sparked both ridicule and reflection across West Africa, Ebo Noah, the Ghanaian Prophet who spent months constructing a massive Wooden Ark in anticipation of a biblical flood, has admitted his end-of-world prediction for today, December 25, did not materialize.
Videos of his project first went viral in August 2024, drawing comparisons to the biblical Noah and amassing millions of views on TikTok, YouTube, and WhatsApp groups in Ghana, Nigeria, and beyond.
Ebo, a self-proclaimed man of God from Ghana’s Eastern Region, claimed divine visions warned of a three-year deluge starting precisely on Christmas Day 2025.
“God instructed me to build this ark for the righteous,” he told local reporters in viral clips, urging Ghanaians and Africans to repent, sell their possessions, and seek refuge. His “Ebo Noah Ark,” a 30-meter-long structure made from local timber and scrap materials, became a roadside spectacle in Koforidua, attracting curious onlookers, skeptics, and even state investigators.
Ebo’s story echoes a pattern of apocalyptic prophecies in Ghana’s vibrant prophetic scene, where figures like Nigeria’s TB Joshua and Ghana’s Nicholas Osei (Kumchacha) have long mixed warnings of divine judgment with calls for repentance.
Global Times Nigeria checks reveal Ebo, in his mid-40s and previously a small-scale carpenter, began publicizing his visions in mid-2024 amid Ghana’s economic woes, hyperinflation hitting 40% and youth unemployment fueling spiritual anxiety.

His Ark work started in July 2024, funded by donations from supporters (estimated at GHS 50,000 or about ₦50,000).
Social media footage showed a rudimentary vessel lacking seaworthiness, with no propulsion system or waterproofing.
Ebo predicted the flood would “wipe out the wicked,” sparing only ark passengers. He rejected scientific rebuttals, citing Genesis 7:11-12 as precedent.
Ghanaian outlets like Joy FM and MyJoyOnline covered it live, while Nigerian blogs amplified it, linking it to regional floods in 2022 that killed over 600 across West Africa.
Authorities intervened in October 2024, halting construction over permit violations and safety risks, but Ebo persisted, framing it as “spiritual warfare.”Why the World Didn’t End: Ebo’s Revisions and Excuses As skies remained clear on December 25, no rain, no floods, Ebo addressed followers via a live Facebook broadcast from his ark site.
“Satan delayed the rain,” he claimed, revising his prophecy to a new date in 2026.
“The devil fought back, but God’s plan is intact. Repent still,” he urged, without evidence.
This backpedaling mirrors failed predictions by prophets like Harold Camping (2011) or Ghana’s Rev. Owusu Bempah.
Fact-checkers from Ghana Fact-Check and Dubawa noted: No meteorological data supported a three-year flood; Ghana’s rainy season peaks in June-September.
Ebo’s visions lacked independent verification; supporters cited “dreams,” but no miracles were documented.
Donations funded the ark, but Ebo dismissed fraud queries, saying funds were “God’s provision.”
Interviews with locals in Koforidua (via proxy reports from Adomonline) reveal mixed reactions: some devotees remain loyal, viewing the failure as a test of faith, while others demand refunds, calling it a scam.
Ebo’s saga highlights vulnerabilities in Africa’s prophetic economy, where failed prophecies cost believers millions annually. In Nigeria, similar cases, like the 2012 “end times” hysteria, led to EFCC probes.
“These predictions exploit economic despair and biblical literalism,” says Dr. Kwabena Asare, a University of Ghana theologian. “They rarely face accountability due to free speech protections.”Ebo could not be reached for further comment, but his online presence persists, with fresh posts soliciting more support.
As December 25 fades without deluge, Ebo Noah’s ark stands as a quirky monument to unfulfilled prophecy, a reminder to discern between faith and folly in turbulent times.
