Nigeria gospel singer Buchi Atuonwu Bwai, revealed that he used to lead songs for a cult group when Jesus opened his eyes.
Speaking on “Black Flame” podcast by Gaise Baba, Buchi said while leading the songs he heard a voice whisper into his ears telling him he does not belong to a cult.
“So one day I was in the company of about 200 people and I was their singer. No microphones. And time was somewhere between 1.00am and 2.00am. And it was in the bush somewhere.
“And I had to be loud enough and commanding enough for everyone to hear me. And we were going on a voyage. 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. So I was startled. But I couldn’t stop singing. I kept singing. I kept singing. But there was nobody there.
“As we moved on that procession, I heard that voice again. This time it was clearer. It said, You don’t belong here. I could not unhear what I heard. And it remained with me until the events that followed.”
Speaking on misconceptions about cultism, Buchi debunked the stereotype that it is a thing reserved for reckless university students.
He said, “And these were all young men and old. Ready to do damage. There were 60-year-olds there. There were 70-year-olds there. There were 20-year-olds there. 30-year-olds. The cult is a leveler. The rich and the poor.
