Faith, Politics and Challenges

The author is a committed Christian, a member of the Chapel of the Resurrection in Nigeria. He was born into a pagan home, his parents worshipping the gods of ogun and osanyin. His grandmother was a priestess of the osanyin deity and his mother inherited her shrine. As a boy he was taken to an ifa preist. From early in his youth and his time as a student at the University of Ibadan, he has been a committed Christian, and this is his account of the Christian story of his time as a student and member of faculty at the University. He was the first President of Ibadan Varsity Christian Union, and an active member of the Chapel. Rather than an autobiography, this is a history of the Christian faith at the University of Ibadan. Kayode Adesogan Head of the Department of Chemical Sciences at Olabisi Onabanjao University, Ogun State; and is the retired Professor of Chemistry at the University of Ibadan.
