The prophet identified as Eboh Noah, had earlier urged Christians across Africa and beyond to donate money to help him build an ark. He claimed the structure would save believers ahead of the foretold global destruction by floods.
When December 25 passed without incident, attention shifted to his sudden display of wealth. Images and reports of the new luxury vehicle quickly spread across social media platforms.
Many critics questioned how funds meant for a spiritual mission were allegedly used to finance a high-end lifestyle. Some followers expressed shock, saying they had given sacrificially believing the prophecy.
Religious leaders and commentators in Nigeria warned that such incidents damage public trust in faith institutions. They said the episode reflects a growing pattern of unchecked claims made in the name of prophecy.
Supporters of the prophet have defended him, arguing that personal wealth does not invalidate spiritual authority. They insisted donations were given freely without conditions.
However, civil society groups have renewed calls for financial accountability among religious organizations. They argue that transparency would protect worshippers from exploitation.
The incident has reignited debate about prophecy, faith, and responsibility within African Christianity. Many online users described the episode as a wake up call for believers.
