On Sunday 8th of February, David Oyelowo and Carmen
Ejogo will Grace the Red Carpets of the Lagos Premiere of the award winning
movie, Selma at the Rock Cathedral, Lekki Lagos. The Movie, Co produced by
Oprah Winfrey who also starred in the film will be premiering in Africa for the
first time at the Rock Cathedral, Lagos, Nigeria.

Nigerian Father and a Scottish mother both of UK Nationality as well.
The Lagos
premiere is Hosted by the Rock Foundation of the House on The Rock Church and
the United States High Commission in Nigeria.
In a statement, the senior pastor of
House on the Rock church, Paul Adefarasin said “Peace and harmony is important
to us all. Regardless of our ethnicity, religion or political persuasion, our
country Nigeria must remain united and peaceful. This is why House on The Rock
Church, positioned as a centre for Social Justice and Equity has decided to
bring people from various classes in the Nigerian society together for a
remarkable event where we can all stand united for peace at a time like this.
We also seek to remind individuals with the Selma movie premiere event that
regardless of any differences or grievances we may have, violence is not the
answer, thus non-violence must continually be our stance.”
Adefarasin
further stated the need for the Church to be the voice of reason promoting
non-violence in the times leading to elections and beyond stressing that ‘’the
pulpit of God is not for partisan politics but for promoting the Kingdom of
God”.
Among Oyelowo’s co-stars in the movie
are Oprah Winfrey, Cuba Gooding Jr., Wendell Pierce, and as Coretta Scott King,
Carmen Ejogo.
