Ebo Noah, a self-proclaimed prophet from Ghana, is said to be building two giant arks which he intends to save humanity from an imminent flood due to start on Christmas Day, December 25, the country’s media reported.
For most of the Christian world, December 25 is a joyous time of celebration, but according to the Ghanaian self-proclaimed prophet, this year, that date signals the beginning of a three-year flood that will cover the Earth in an endless ocean. The only way to survive is to board one of the wooden arks he said he was chosen to build by God Himself.
Ebo Noah, known online by many other names, including Ebo Jesus and Igbo Noah, is a controversial and mysterious figure who claims to have been chosen by God to retake Noah’s mantle and once again save humanity and all the other animal species from the flood.
No one really knows very much about this modern-day Noah, including basic information such as his real name and location, but he has gained quite a following on social media.
Clips of him wearing ragged clothing and reading from a book, or inspecting his wooden arks, have been doing the rounds online for months, but people’s interest is growing as Christmas draws near.
The Ghanaian Noah has been preaching about an upcoming flood since August, claiming that he has been instructed by God to build up to ten arks.
According to some sources, his arks can hold a few thousand people, while some say that they can accommodate up to 100,000 people, which sounds somehow exaggerated.
As expected, Ebo Noah has been facing quite a bit of ridicule on social media, including from people asking him if his arks have Wi-Fi, or if passengers can use the Cash App on it, but he seems to be taking it all rather well, saying that Noah himself was laughed at, which didn’t deter him from his mission.
At one point, Noah claimed that animals like goats and birds had begun arriving “by divine instruction” at the site where he was building the arks, although no one has confirmed these claims.
The arks themselves look like nothing more than wooden boats barely able to house a few dozen people, let alone hundreds, as well as animals.
Ebo Noah has thousands of followers on social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram, but some people have brought into question his mere existence.
No mainstream Ghanaian outlet has been able to find him, and even the location of the arks is unclear. Some believe he is the product of AI, although the videos depicting him look very real.
