It was in the dark days of the military dictatorship of General Sani Abacha and Chuzzy was in America asking Christian personages to guarantee his asylum pursuit and they all failed him until the ever rendering Soyinka came to his rescue from his Emory University, Atlanta self-exile base back then.

Nothing divides Nigerians like religion, but I have it on good account that Nobel Laureate, Wole Soyinka, who prefers Orisha to Christianity and Islam turned out the saving grace of Pastor Chuzzy Udenwa in the United States.

Soyinka, the humanist who taught me Humanism at Great Ife, preferably delves into Orisha rather than Christian and Islamic worship, but this did not stop him from penning an attestation for the born-again Christian pastor, Chuzzy Udenwa, in America.
