The devastating floods that engulfed large parts of Accra on Monday, June 29, left several communities submerged and commuters stranded. Emergency responders have since been deployed to affected areas as authorities continue to assess the extent of the damage.
Ghanaian rapper M.anifest has expressed disappointment over the attention being given to preacher Ebo Noah while many Ghanaians grapple with the devastating impact of the floods. In a post on X, M.anifest criticised what he described as the amplification of a figure he considers opportunistic at a time when families are dealing with loss and trauma. 'Please stop amplifying Ebo hwaen hwaen. People are going through real tragic losses and trauma from the floods and here goes another charlatan that should never have been platformed being opportunistic. Kmt,' he wrote.
The preacher's past claims about floods have been making the rounds on social media, with some users suggesting his predictions had come to pass. However, M.anifest argued that the focus should remain on supporting victims of the disaster rather than celebrating or promoting controversial personalities. His remarks have since sparked debate online, with some users agreeing that attention should be directed towards relief efforts, while others defended the renewed interest in the preacher's earlier statements.
M.anifest's comments are a scathing rebuke of the media attention given to Ebo Noah following the floods. While the preacher's claims may have resonated with some Ghanaians, M.anifest argues that this attention only serves to distract from the real issues at hand. 'We can't have people using their platforms to make money out of people's tragedies,' he said.
As the city of Accra continues to reel from the effects of the disaster, residents are calling for more support from the government. The Ghanaian public is demanding action from their leaders to prevent similar incidents in the future. M.anifest's intervention is just one of many voices calling for greater accountability from those in power.
