While in the university, his casual involvement in black activism through reggae club grew more intense after listening to Oliver Thambo and the officials of ANC (African National Congress) from South Africa, during the club's exhibition on "Apartheid in South Africa" Again, having studied the black activist literature of Dennis Bruts, Wole Soyinka, Muta Baruka and the likes, Buchi's preoccupation with reggae music as an "outcry against oppression" became deeper. Little wonder he also became involved in one of the campus confraternities which at the time prided themselves as anti oppression movements. This preoccupation with reggae music took a new turn when his friend Ras Kimono invited him to join the team of deejays on the Floating Bukka - a reggae nightclub situated on a docked vessel on the Marina , Lagos Island .
Foremost on the list of Buchi's strong musical influences are Eric Donaldson, Joseph Hills , Burning Spear and Frankie Paul. In 1992, Buchi gave his life to Jesus in Christ Embassy Church and transitted from the nightclub to the choir of that ministry, where he has remained till date. 1st album released 1999 (These Days) 2nd album released 2002 (So Beautiful) 3rd album released 2005 (What a Life) Married to Jane with 4 children Has ministered in church concerts including Reinhard Burnke's stadium-packed outreaches. Multiple award winner including prestigious AMEN for Best in Gospel Category, 1999 Faith, POMP and TOMA Awards for Best Artiste, Reggae Artiste and Gospelalbum of the year variously.

The lyrics of Buchi’s song “Jerusalem” are a call for peace and a recognition of the challenges facing the world today. The song begins by reflecting on the ongoing conflict in Israel and the pain and suffering experienced by the people. The singer asks what can be done when there seems to be no solution to the world’s problems, and responds that the only solution is Christ. This theme is repeated throughout the song, and the lyrics suggest that the world needs to turn to Christ in order to find peace and stability.
The song then goes on to acknowledge that the end times are near, and that there are signs that the kingdom of God has come upon the current generation. The singer urges people to look to God and to recognize that Christ is the solution to the world’s problems. The lyrics are a mix of English and Pidgin, a Nigerian Creole language, and use a variety of international place names to suggest that the message of peace is applicable to all people and all nations.
Overall, Buchi’s song “Jerusalem” is a powerful call for peace and a recognition of the need to turn to God in order to find solutions to the world’s problems. It is both a reflection on the ongoing conflict in Israel and a celebration of the potential for peace that exists when people turn to God.
