Ghanaian rapper Okyeame Kwame has dismissed claims by content creator and social commentator Ebo Noah that the devastating floods which swept through parts of Accra and other areas of Ghana on June 29, 2026, were the fulfilment of a warning from God.
Reacting to Ebo Noah’s comments in a Facebook post, the award-winning musician argued that the country’s perennial flooding is rooted in human actions and poor urban planning, not divine intervention.
Questioning the basis of Ebo Noah’s claims, Okyeame Kwame wrote: “Are you God’s consultant? Are you to remind God of mercy? Are you going to make this physical phenomenon a spiritual problem?”
He went on to urge Ghanaians to focus on the real causes of the flooding rather than assigning it a spiritual explanation.
“Nature is speaking to us to plan our country better, to keep our gutters clean, to stop causing global warming, to stop pouring rubbish into gutters when it rains, to stop cutting down trees, to stop illegal mining so the forests may stand, to invest in recycling and upcycling, and to be more ambitious about source separation and waste management,” he stated.
The rapper acknowledged the pain and destruction caused by the floods but maintained that attributing the disaster to God’s will only distracts from the urgent environmental and infrastructural issues that require attention.
“The negative effects of the rain are very sad, and I cry with all who lost resources, but making this a God problem is part of the problem,” he added.
Okyeame Kwame’s remarks were in response to statements made by Ebo Noah, who claimed he had foreseen the heavy rains and flooding after receiving what he described as a message from God.
According to Ebo Noah, he tried to alert both the public and state authorities but was arrested instead of being 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.
The social commentator also insisted that divine messages should not be judged by 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.
Describing the floods as a wake-up call for the nation, Ebo Noah urged both government and citizens to take environmental protection and disaster preparedness more seriously. He also warned that the recent flooding may not be the last, cautioning that more incidents could occur in the coming weeks if people fail to remain vigilant.
“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 warned.
