For several months, a Ghanaian man presenting himself as Ebo Noah (or Ebo Jesus) has been making waves on social media. He claims to have received a divine vision announcing a catastrophic apocalyptic global flood starting on December 25, 2025, with relentless rain lasting three to four years. In the style of biblical Noah, he says he’s building multiple wooden arks to save believers and even animals.
But behind this viral prophecy, which has racked up millions of views on TikTok and YouTube, who is Ebo Noah really? Recent investigations reveal a very different reality: he appears to be a former comedic content creator who has reinvented himself as a « prophet » to gain attention and monetize his fame.
The Origins of Ebo Noah: From Comedic Creator to Self-Proclaimed Prophet
Ebo Noah, a young Ghanaian, was previously known on social networks as a content creator specializing in humorous skits. His funny videos circulated on TikTok under accounts like @EboJesus1 (now deleted). In August 2025, he posted a YouTube video titled « What will happen and how it will happen », announcing his « divine revelation. » Quickly, he shared clips showing the construction of large wooden boats, claiming to build up to ten to accommodate thousands of people.
These structures, filmed in rural areas of Ghana (sometimes mentioned near Elmina or Akropong), are presented as lifesaving arks. However, local residents have disputed this: these boats are actually traditional fishing vessels built by local craftsmen, repurposed for viral buzz.
No major Ghanaian media outlet has been able to confirm the existence of a real « prophet » or independently locate a dedicated apocalyptic ark construction site. West African and British fact-checkers point out that nothing has been verified independently.
A Viral Hoax Fueled by Algorithms… and Possibly AI?
The explosive virality of the story raises serious questions:
- AI suspicions: Some clips seem overly polished, with added subtitles and dramatic narration. Digital content experts see possible use of artificial intelligence to amplify the story.
- Monetization and attention: By posing as a « modern Noah, » Ebo Noah has gained hundreds of thousands of followers. Implicit calls for donations and promises of spots on the ark suggest a strategy to generate views and revenue.
- Contradicting the Bible: His prophecy goes against Genesis 9:11, where God promises never to destroy the Earth with a flood again. Many Ghanaian pastors have denounced it as deception.
Recently, unconfirmed rumors have circulated about a possible arrest for spreading false news causing public anxiety. Posts on X even mention tensions, with people claiming to prepare to join the ark.
Why Does This Story Fascinate So Many?
As Christmas 2025 approaches, Ebo Noah’s prophecy recalls the countless apocalyptic predictions that have marked history – all without consequence. It perfectly illustrates how social media amplifies sensational stories, blending sincere faith, dark humor, and the quest for virality.
The true face of Ebo Noah? Not an inspired prophet, but a clever content creator who turned a biblical joke into a global phenomenon. December 25 will come… and Christmas will likely be rainy in some areas, but not apocalyptic.
