Through her Instagram feed, the designer, who is also a stylist, claimed that she never imagined a day when Christians would thank God they didn't attend to church.
The mother of three also begged for the country to improve and for the bloodshed to come to an end.
"We never imagined a Sunday where Christians would be thankful they didn't go to church today." This is really a terrible day. She wrote, "Let us all pray for a safer Nigeria."
