Actress Osas Ighodaro is a year older today. She turns 30.

Though the delectable screen diva loves to celebrate birthdays, this year, she is, however, calling for prayers for unity, peace, harmony, togetherness in Nigeria, and for those innocent lives lost in the recent unrests.

In a post on her Instagram page, the 30-year-old wrote: “Thank God for another year. Happy Birthday to me. If you know me, you know I absolutely love birthdays but this year it certainly hits different. I’m overwhelming grateful for life and thankful to God to be able to see another birthday bc unfortunately many haven’t and won’t have that opportunity.

“I am hopeful for better days for myself, those that I love and hold dear and most certainly for my country Nigeria. I pray for unity, peace, harmony and togetherness. We all deserve it.

“My birthday wish is to please continue to pray for those innocent lives lost. Please remain hopeful and focused because I truly believe better days are soon ahead by God’s grace.

“Peace, Love and Blessings. 💗
