Content creator and social commentator Ebo Noah has sparked debate on social media after claiming that warnings he previously issued about impending floods in Ghana were ignored by both the public and authorities.
Reacting to the recent flooding that has affected parts of Accra and other communities, Ebo Noah stated that he had earlier predicted the heavy rains and the destruction that would follow but was allegedly not taken seriously.
“I said it would rain and flood. God instructed me to tell Ghanaians, but I was arrested. Today, look at what is happening. Look at the properties being destroyed. Look at the lives that have been lost. It is very sad,” he said.
According to Ebo Noah, his experience highlights what he believes is a tendency among some people to disregard warnings unless they come from well-known religious figures.
He argued that divine messages should not be judged by the status or profession of the person delivering them.
“People want to hear it from their pastors or prophets before they believe. God can use anybody. I was only a medium. I saw it, I said it, and I was disregarded,” he stated.
The social commentator described the recent floods as a wake-up call for the country, urging citizens and authorities to take environmental concerns and disaster warnings more seriously.
He also warned that the current flooding situation may not be the last challenge facing the country, claiming that more incidents could occur in the coming weeks if vigilance is not increased.
“No more talking. The rain will speak for us. In the coming weeks, a lot is going to happen, so everyone should be on the lookout,” he cautioned.
Despite his concerns, Ebo Noah said he continues to pray and intercede on behalf of Ghana, expressing hope that the country will overcome the challenges brought about by the adverse weather conditions.
His comments come in the wake of days of heavy rainfall that have triggered widespread flooding across several communities. The floods have displaced families, damaged homes and businesses, disrupted transportation, and forced the temporary closure of some schools.
