A Liberian national has been left stranded in Ghana after a widely publicized doomsday prophecy by self-styled Ghanaian prophet Eboh Noah failed to materialize, sparking controversy, public ridicule, and renewed debate over religious deception.
Eboh Noah had claimed that the world would be destroyed by a catastrophic flood on December 25, 2025, drawing parallels to the biblical account of Noah’s Ark. Alarmed by the prediction, the Liberian man, along with several others from Ghana and neighboring countries, traveled to Ghana in hopes of securing safety aboard what the prophet described as specially constructed “arks.”
When the predicted flood never occurred, the followers were left disillusioned. In a video circulating on social media, the Liberian man is seen seated beside his suitcase in Ghana, visibly frustrated and uncertain about his next steps, as he appears unable to return home immediately.
Reports indicate that many followers took drastic measures in response to the prophecy, with some allegedly selling personal belongings or paying money to reserve spaces on the supposed arks. The failure of the prophecy has since prompted widespread criticism and questions about the prophet’s credibility and motives.
Following the incident, Eboh Noah was briefly arrested by Ghanaian authorities for allegedly spreading false information but was later released. Prior to his arrest, he released another video asserting that the absence of the flood was a sign that God had shown mercy to humanity after he interceded through prayer. He further announced plans to host a grand thanksgiving celebration.
Public outrage intensified when the prophet was spotted at a concert by Ghanaian rapper Sarkodie on the very day the flood was expected to occur. His appearance at the event triggered shock and amusement online, with many social media users condemning his actions and accusing him of exploiting public fear for attention or personal gain.
The incident has reignited calls for greater public awareness and regulatory oversight of individuals who use religious claims to spread fear and misinformation.
