Photos: Funke Akindele, Stella Damasus and other crying and praying for Nigeria

Award winning photographer TY Bello who took these photos said "We were going to be praying against violence in Nigeria. I was itching to pray with everything but something kept pressing to bring my camera so I just followed the nudge. The room was filled with women as diverse as we come, from known celebrities like Funke Akindele and Stella Damasus to students, market women, corporate giants and clergy women from different denominations.More photos after this cut...
