Akuna calmly explains that while the minor god is made from wood, Chukwu made the tree from which it was carved from. Akunna believes Chukwu made the minor gods so that people could approach Him through these messengers. Akunna cleverly adds that Mr. Brown serves as a messenger for his God in a similar fashion that minor gods do for Chukwu.
