YOU MEAN IT WAS ALL A SCAM?
(Note that average annual income per capita is $2,500 USD in Ghana.)
If you missed it, right before Christmas we told you about Ghanaian "prophet" who has attracted a following of thousands by building boats for the apocalypse:
"Eboh Noah" said he had built eight "arks" for his followers to take refuge during the flood. He reportedly told them to sell their possessions, donate to his ministry, and join him on the ark on Christmas day to ride out the coming of God's wrath upon the earth.
African social media accounts warned that Eboh was a grifter who previously posted all sorts of clickbait videos to the internet to try and get attention, but people didn't listen.
(One Bible verse could have saved these people a lot of trouble.)
Before Christmas, Eboh even filmed himself in front of SK Tower, a high-rise building in Accra. He said that if the apocalypse didn't happen, you'd find him partying there.
Well, he certainly kept true to that promise!
As you can imagine, the people who got caught up in his con are not happy. Some of them traveled hundreds of miles to be safe from the "flood" on his "arks" (he apparently filmed himself on local fishing boats that he claimed to have built).
Locals say at least one such "ark" was set on fire by his disgruntled disciples.
Here was his announcement video about God sparing the earth thanks to his prayers (you're welcome!).
He says God is going to give him more time to build a lot more arks for "everyone" (no word on whether we all get a Mercedes too).
The art of the con!
No word yet on whether the authorities will step in to investigate "Noah" for fraud.
