Nigerian gospel reggae sensation Buchi Atuonwu, popularly known as Buchi, recently opened up about his transformative journey from cultism to Christianity.

In an honest chat with Gaise Baba on the show Black Flame, Buchi delved into the spiritual epiphany that led him to abandon his past affiliations and embrace a life dedicated to spreading the gospel through music.

Reflecting on his departure from the cult, Buchi shared that his understanding of such groups underwent a profound shift.

He realised that cultism wasn’t merely about clandestine gatherings or rituals but was deeply rooted in spiritual realms.

This revelation made him acknowledge the futility of confronting spiritual challenges with physical means. He articulated, “You can’t bring a knife to a gun fight and hope to win. It’s a spiritual thing.” 

A pivotal moment

Buchi recounted a particular incident that served as a turning point in his life. Around the early hours of the morning, between 1 and 2 a.m., he found himself leading a procession of approximately 200 individuals.

Without the aid of a microphone, he had to project his voice powerfully to be heard by all. The scene was intense: some participants bore coffins on their heads, others carried red lamps symbolising danger, all united in a common, albeit ominous, purpose.

As he led the chants, an unexpected voice whispered into his ear from the left, distinct from the convoy on his right, saying, “You don’t belong here.” 

This unexpected message startled him, yet he continued his role in the procession. The diverse assembly of young and old individuals, all poised for potential violence, underscored the cult’s nature as a unifying force transcending tribal lines. Buchi observed, “The cult is a leveller where people are united by a course, not tribe.” 

Embracing a new path

This profound experience prompted Buchi to seek a deeper understanding of his life’s direction. Recognising the spiritual battles he faced, he turned to Jesus Christ for guidance and purpose.

This pivotal decision marked the beginning of his transition from a life entangled in cultism to one devoted to gospel music and ministry.

Before his full immersion into music, Buchi had an academic career as a lecturer at the University of Lagos. His journey from academia and nightclubs, where he worked as a DJ, to becoming a renowned gospel artist is a testament to his transformative journey.

His musical career has been marked by several albums that blend reggae rhythms with gospel messages, resonating with many across Nigeria.

Nigerian rapper, Lil Kesh, has opened up about his stance on relationships and marriage, revealing that he is not currently in a romantic relationship and has no plans to marry anytime soon.

Lil Kesh appeared as a special guest on the Esther podcast where he revealed his aversion to marriage, which stunned some viewers.

The 31-year-old artist stated that committing to a relationship would require himself being ready to compromise for the person; a step he’s not ready for yet.

It would be nice to find someone who would make me compromise. But now, I’m not intentional about dating because if I’m dating you, I will have to make time for you. Also, I’m no longer a kid. I’m 31. Luckily, my parents are not pressuring me to get married. They have made peace what the fact that I am different.

On the topic of marriage, Lil Kesh stressed that marriage is not on his mind because he doesn’t believe in it, citing the skyrocketing divorce rates as discouragement.

Marriage? Maybe, later. But for now, I’m not of that mindset. I’m also not going to intentionally make anyone my baby mama. I am not going to ‘wife’ anybody anytime soon either.

It’s not like I don’t want to get married because I want to be free or be a playboy, I just don’t believe in marriage. They don’t work. Have you seen the rate of divorces? I have seen a lot of unhappy marriages.

That doesn’t mean there are not happy ones. But personally, I want a happy home and I don’t feel like I can do that yet. And I’m not going to jeopardise any person’s happiness just because I have to get married.

Don’t let anyone deceive you,there is no advantage to having premarital se#x. It hampers your emotional progress,physical health,spiritual closeness with God and mental health. Bed undefiled! Stay safe . FLEE!✌

Yea it’s not a sin. It’s disobedience to God’s commandment. 😑

1 Corinthians 6:18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body, but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body , always read your bible
