Gospel singer Buchi Atuonwu, also known as Buchi has revealed his past experience as a cultist, stating that Jesus is the reason he left the group.
Speaking in an interview with Gaise Baba on ‘Black Flame’, Buchi said he realised that the cult wasn’t a physical group, but rather a spiritual entity.
Buchi understood that he couldn’t fight spiritual battles with physical means.
He recalled a specific incident where he was performing for a large group of people, around 200, without a microphone.
Despite the challenging circumstances, he had to be loud and commanding to reach hIs audience.
Buchi’s experience in the cult has influenced his perspective, and he’s now focused on his gospel music career.
He said: “I had a deeper understanding of the cult. Jesus showed me the meaning of the cult that it was not a physical association. You can’t bring a knife to a gun fight and hope to win. It’s a spiritual thing. And much of what I was protesting and fighting were spiritual, so a physical solution will not do. One day I was in a company of about 200 people, and I was their singer, no microphone, and it was between 1am-2am. I had to be loud and commanding enough for everyone to hear me. And we were going on a voyage, some people had a coffin on their head, some carried the red lamp (danger) and we were on a procession and I was leading in songs. I was singing and the convoy was to my right but from the left someone spoke into my ears and said, you don’t belong here. I was startled but I couldn’t stop singing and the procession was moving and these were all young men and old ready to do damage. The cult is a leveller where people are united by a course not tribe”.
