He said he also met his wife in America. In Adewale Ayuba\u2019s words:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">\u201cI left for America with my full band members in 1995 for a summer show and others. We came to America for about three months and then returned to Nigeria<\/span><span class=\"s1\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">\u201cI returned to Nigeria in 1998 when Abacha died. The three years I stayed in America were by the grace of God because he is a good planner.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">\u201cWhen I was in America, I realised that I could only perform shows on weekends. My Mondays to Fridays were free. So, I enrolled in school. That was where I met my wife.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">\u201cAfter that, I took part in a lot of activities. Doing so was like building another foundation in America. That was not easy. From there, I completed my documentation and became an American citizen.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">\u201cI don\u2019t see myself continuing in Fuji music, I believe I have done well. This is America, there\u2019s more to explore in life, trusting that God has a plan.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Speaking about his decision to convert from Islam to Christianity, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/entertainment\/2022\/03\/25\/fuji-maestro-adewale-ayuba-clocks-56-celebrates-with-new-photo\/\">58 year old Adewale Ayuba<\/a> revealed that he was unable to pray in Arabic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This, he said, prevented him from practising Islam, adding that he would always invite clerics to pray on his behalf.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">He also said he was inspired by verses from the Bible quoting Jesus Christ as saying \u201c<i>He is the way, truth, and life\u201d. <\/i>Ayuba said he prefers to worship where he \u201c<i>feels closest to God,<\/i>\u201d adding that his choice to become a Christian <i>\u201cbrings me happiness\u201d<\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_70478\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-70478\" style=\"width: 828px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-70478\" src=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/entertainment\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2022\/03\/ifeoluwaunusual\/2022\/03\/25\/4E7A5FAC-E1D1-4787-BF85-B334A64C181C.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"828\" height=\"1006\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/entertainment\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2022\/03\/ifeoluwaunusual\/2022\/03\/25\/4E7A5FAC-E1D1-4787-BF85-B334A64C181C.jpeg 828w, https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/entertainment\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2022\/03\/ifeoluwaunusual\/2022\/03\/25\/4E7A5FAC-E1D1-4787-BF85-B334A64C181C-247x300.jpeg 247w, https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/entertainment\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2022\/03\/ifeoluwaunusual\/2022\/03\/25\/4E7A5FAC-E1D1-4787-BF85-B334A64C181C-768x933.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 828px) 100vw, 828px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-70478\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Adewale Ayuba<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">He said:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">\u201cPeople claim Ayuba is a Muslim.

If I were practising Islam, wouldn\u2019t someone have noticed<\/span><span class=\"s1\">.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">\u201cWhy is this an issue? Can they let me be? They say I should pray five times daily, but I\u2019m not. My mother is an Alhaja, and although my father never went to Mecca, we practice Islam at home.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">\u201cSo, my name is Ayub, which is Job in the Bible. It\u2019s not that being a Muslim is good or bad. When I attempted to practice it, I had to summon some Alfas to help me communicate with God because I didn\u2019t understand Arabic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">\u201cI questioned whether I should continue despite all that God has done for me, needing others to intercede on my behalf.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">\u201cThere isn\u2019t an album of mine where I haven\u2019t referenced Muslim words. We all worship God. To me, religion is akin to education.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">\u201cI chose Jesus Christ because he proclaimed, \u2018I am the truth, the way, and the life\u2019. This is my personal choice, and it brings me happiness.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">\u201cMany of my band members are Muslims, and we pray together.
