Samuel told Legit.ng what he perceives as a betrayal by key leaders within the Igbo community.

He expressed concern urging swift action to avert a potential leadership crisis.

Prophet Samuel's message centres on the metaphor of "Joseph," referring to critical leaders whose potential has been compromised.

He warned that failure to support and uplift these leaders could result in severe consequences for the Igbo people, including the loss of prominent figures and prolonged suffering.

“I cry for the Igbos, why did you sell all the Josephs I sent to you? And why did you sell your last Joseph? The last Joseph will consume you all in leadership if you don't pray and get him out of the prison to the palace on time,” Samuel said in his statement. “Get him out alive and healthy, if not many known names will not see the promised land of the Igbos alive. I can no longer hold back this message in my spirit.”

Recounting his experience of receiving this revelation while on a prayer retreat for Shiloh Word Chapel International, Samuel highlighted the recent losses of Igbo leaders and emphasized the need for unity and self-protection among the Igbo community.

He continued:

“We lost a few so-called Igbo leaders within 21 days. From July 25 to 27, I was on the Prayer Mountain for Shiloh Word Chapel International's 13th Anniversary. Sad news came from the UK about a great friend, brother, and leader, and I cried to God, asking deeper questions in the spirit. God said, 'Vomit the message you swallowed, Samuel.' I prophesy with tears, and my heart bleeds for the Igbo people. Listen to me; for 30 years of my life as a prophet, from the age of 14, I have so much avoided Igbo prophecies because of the complications of our race and lack of true leadership acceptance or one voice. "These acts stop all our Josephs sent by God to deliver us all. Finally, Igbos, arise, love yourselves again, stop spilling the blood of your innocent brothers in the eastern holy land again. Be warned. Build and restore security in your own villages. My Igbo brothers, listen once more. Rivers State, Kano, Abuja, and Lagos State will always make you cry. Build your own land and secure your people in love.”

Igbo unity for economic development

The prophet called for the Igbo to end internal conflicts and restore security within their villages. He stressed that dependence on external regions like Rivers State, Kano, Abuja, and Lagos could lead to continued hardship.

He also advocated that Igbos secure their own lands through collective effort and love.

"Igbo must go hashtag": Atiku tasks Tinubu

Earlier, Legit.ng reported that Atiku Abubakar, the former vice president and PDP candidate in the 2023 presidential election, called on President Bola Tinubu's government to take action on those behind the Igbo Must Go hashtag.

The PDP leader, in a statement on Thursday, August 1, said Nigerians need to learn from the Rwanda example and resist any division move.

According to Atiku, Nigeria's Constitution gave the right to live and work anywhere to every Nigerian, and the Igbo should not be denied that fact.
