Desmond Elliot prays for Ini Edo to get pregnant There has been a call for prayer for one of Nigeria’s finest actresses, Ini Edo, to conceive before the year runs out on one of the numerous Facebook accounts ascribed to actor, Desmond Elliot. In the message, Nigerians were asked to say amen to the prayer that the Nollywood diva, who has put smiles on a lot of faces in the country would have a reason to smile before the year runs out. The message read, “We all know actress, Ini Edo, has been married for a while now without any issue. Many of us have laughed at her, insulted her, judged her without knowing the pains she goes through indoors. She has entertained us, made us laugh and has inspired many of us. Today, let us come together and pray for her. Ini Edo, this year, 2014 will not pass you by, you will not only get pregnant, you will also give birth safe and sound. As you write AMEN to this, may God answer all your hidden prayers. Why not write amen?
