In The Campaign For Non - Violent Change - Selma Comes To Lagos!
Nigerians have been called upon to stand for Justice, Peace and Respect for Human rights, and life, especially in this election period.
This was the thrust of the message, passed on to hundreds, through the film Selma, as they converged at the Rock Cathedral, Lekki - Lagos on February 8, 2015.
In his welcome address, the event host, Senior Pastor, House On The Rock Church, Paul Adefarasin emphasized on the need for an enabling environment in which every Nigerian of voting age, is able to vote with their conscience, and without undue fear or intimidation. "A situation where people can cast their votes without fear of reprisals" He said.
Condemning the incessant killings in some parts of the country, especially the North, violent election campaigns and intolerance of oppositions, Adefarasin said "The sword of Justice should be the only weapon our nation used, and should be used so fairly".
He further challenged Nigerians to "look towards what binds us together, and not at what separates us".
Dignitaries from all walks of life, including Selma's lead actor, David Oyelowo, Carmen Ejogo, diplomats from the United States Consulate in Nigeria, German Embassy, Former United Nations Secretary General Emeka Anyaaoku, Nigerian House Of Representative members, Captains of Industries, the Media, Celebrities from Nollywood, Nija Music and Sports, all graced the evening event.
The African American historic Drama, Selma, tells the story of how African Americans led by James Bevel, Hosea William, Martin Luther King and John Lewis, marched from Selma to Montgomery in 1965, in a series of peaceful campaigns for their Fundamental Right to vote.
It is hoped the remarkable film provoke Nigerians to embrace peaceful approach in the quest for positive change, and that we do not forget what the Selma march truly stand for.

Nigeria's February Polls Postponed!
This was made known at a press briefing after the last meeting for the day between INEC Chairman Attahiru Jega, and other top officials of the INEC,
“The commission is concerned about the security of our ad-hoc staff, the young men and women of the NYSC and students of the tertiary education who constitute at least 600,000 young men and women that we will use in the election,” Jega said.
This decision is backed by section 26 (1) of the Electoral Act, as amended.
“Where a date has been appointed for the holding of an election and there is reason to believe that a serious breach of the peace is likely to occur if the election is proceeded with on that date or it is impossible to conduct an election as a result of natural disaster or other emergencies, the commission may postpone the election and shall in respect of the area or areas concerned appoint another day for the holding of the postponed election provided that such reason for the postponement is cogent and verifiable.”
It was revealed that the All Progressives Congress (APC) had asked the INEC to go ahead with the February elections as scheduled, alleging that the presidency was pushing for a postponement because the PDP was not ready for the election. This was debunked by the Jega, as he reportedly said the commission was not forced by anybody to postpone the elections.
