At the end of his studies and formation, he was ordained a priest on the 28th of April 1998 for the diocese of Buea which at that time included the Mamfe and the Kumba dioceses. Fr Basile worked in many rural parishes as a seminarian and as a priest, including Ikassa, Mbonge, small soppo, Eyumujok and many other areas where potable water, electricity, education and other basic needs are a constant challenge to the people.

He was also awarded a Diploma in management sciences and Economy by the Sophia University in Florence, Italy. 

With his experiences as a priest and his travels abroad, Fr Basile has known the difference between the materially privileged and the underprivileged. Therefore, he embarks so much on charity. He has written many books including Catholic Religious Studies, Hegel’s Philosophy of History, Challenge to the African Thinker and his most recent; Comparing Cultures and Religions in a postmodern world. The proceeds of his books are also geared towards humanitarian charity.
