Relations between the Igbo people and the white missionaries take a turn for the worse when Nwoye joins the church and changes his name to Isaac.

Nwoye reconnected with himself when the missionaries reawakened his hope and faith. Nwoye signaled his break from his old religions and "heathen" ways by joining the missionaries' church.
