Zari Hassan, a well-known businesswoman and socialite, recently celebrated her son Pinto's 21st birthday with a heartfelt message that has sparked a significant debate among her followers.
In her birthday message, Zari shared photos of Pinto's journey from birth to adulthood and took the opportunity to advise young women on the importance of choosing life over abortion.
"Girls, the man you're aborting babies for might have five other girls doing the same... In the future, when you want to settle down and have kids, it may not be possible," Zari wrote. She emphasized using protection or deciding to have the child, highlighting her gratitude for choosing to keep Pinto.
While many of her followers appreciated Zari's candid message, it also received mixed reactions. Some fans praised her for addressing a sensitive issue, while others felt the message was inappropriate for a birthday post.
Mixed Reactions from Fans
Positive Reactions:
"The advice is much needed as it concerns our youth…keep speaking up regardless! Happy birthday to your son."
"I totally agree with Zari; young adults make mistakes for lack of knowledge. It's upon you to use the information the way you want."
Negative Reactions:
"People don't abort kids because they want to. They do because circumstances force them to. Raising a child is not easy given the economy and nowadays men. Just wish your son a happy birthday in peace."
"Why must a birthday message be so complicated, dragging women who did abortions? Ai Zari. Anyways, happy birthday to your handsome son. You did a great job."
"Can you not just say Happy Birthday? The other stuff wasn’t necessary. You can do it in another post."
Despite the mixed responses, Zari's message underscores the importance of thoughtful decision-making regarding motherhood and pregnancy
