Zari Hassan’s first-born son, Pinto, has just celebrated his 21st birthday, and the proud mother took to social media to mark the special occasion with a heartfelt tribute.
In her post, Zari shared a series of photos documenting Pinto’s journey from infancy to adulthood, reflecting on the significance of her decision to have him.
Zari’s message underscored the profound impact that keeping a child can have, and she used the opportunity to offer advice to young women.
She warned against the potential regrets of abortion, suggesting that her choice to have Pinto was a decision she continues to value deeply.
Zari emphasized that while a man might have multiple partners and cause several pregnancies to end in abortion, these actions could hinder one’s future dreams of having a family.
In her post, Zari wrote:
“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. Use protection or have your child. Here we are, 21 years later. I love you, @pinto.tlale, and happy birthday! They always say the first-born is the one who has been through it all with you, and I totally agree. Alhamdulillah, I’m grateful.”
Zari’s message reflects a blend of personal reflection and advice, celebrating her son’s milestone while advocating for the importance of making informed decisions about parenthood.
Her heartfelt post not only commemorates Pinto’s birthday but also serves as a reminder of the values she holds dear.
For Pinto’s 20th birthday, Zari Hassan chose to gift him a Mercedes Benz E-Class, a gesture that sparked considerable discussion among her fans.
Her birthday post included a reflective message that drew a connection between her choice to have her son and her broader views on abortion, which led to mixed reactions from her followers.

However, her commentary on this sensitive topic did not go unnoticed, with fans offering a range of responses:
maria_kanyemba: “People don’t abort kids because they want to. They do it because circumstances force them to. Raising a child is not easy given the economy and today’s men. Just wish your son a happy birthday in peace.”
coco__love: “Why must a birthday message be so complicated, dragging in women who had abortions? Ai Zari 🤷🏻♀️. Anyway, happy birthday to your handsome son. You did a great job.”
oct.oh.be: “I wish you had just said ‘Happy Birthday’ because the first part of your caption, as true as it is, is very misleading.”
oluxcarrey: “I totally agree with Zari. Young adults make mistakes due to lack of knowledge. It’s up to you to use the information the way you want.”
kabera_kabera: “😂😂😂😂😂 You love controversy. But happy birthday to your handsome Prince!”
