Nigerian Pastor now Poland's first black Lawmaker!

A Nigerian protestant pastor 40year old John Godson will become poland's first black lawmaker, this a historic feat for the majority catholic society of poland.

"I think that Poland has changed a long way. Comparing Poland to when I came here almost 20 years ago, in 1993, there's a lot of difference. I think these are very positive changes," he said.

Godson, a councillor in Poland's second city Lodz, made an unsuccessful Sejm bid in the 2007 general election.

He has now obtained a seat after a fellow member of the governing liberal Civic Platform quit parliament having won office as mayor of Lodz in local elections Sunday.
