Reactions As Shehu Sani Names Adopted Baby Jordan
Former Kaduna Central Senator Shehu Sani has generated reactions among Twitter users after he revealed the name of his adopted child to be Jordan.
On Tuesday, he announced he recently adopted a baby boy who was abandoned by the roadside.
He explained the baby who was later rescued by the police was handed over to the Social Welfare Department whose personnel finally handed him over to an orphanage.
Sani shared a photo holding his adopted son, Jordan, and the orphanage’s proprietor sitting beside him.
He wrote: “This Little Baby Boy was abandoned by the roadside. The Police picked him and handed him over to the Social Welfare Department and the department handed him over to an Orphanage.
“I’m now the father and named him Jordan. Mrs Grace by my side is the proprietor of the Orphanage.”
But some Muslims argued with each other over the politician’s choice of name for his son while others hailed him and prayed for the young one.
@Maxajee tweeted: “Why won’t you give him a muslim name? Meye wani jordan? Airjordan ni.”
@sadiqGsadiq responding to Maxajee said: “Jordan has a special place in the history of Islam, as it was the first territory to which Islam spread outside of the Arabian peninsula. It was also the site of the first contact between Islam and the non-Arab world. Abu Al-Darda’a Tomb, near Irbid.”
Countering sadiqGsadiq, Maxajee wrote: “Whatever Jordan means, it’s not as good as Muhammad or Abdullahi.”
@eniolorundamic3 stated: “He adopted a child and named him as he pleased, instead of you to rather commend the gesture, you are more concerned about the choice of name he chose? You are from the clan John the Baptist called‘generation of Vipers’.. they won’t do good and would not allow others do good.”
@McLegitKing tweeted: “See the people dragging the north backwards…this mindset reflects in their voting pattern and in appointments… Whether you’re competent or not,as long as your name is Abdul…you will be given the spot…over Christopher (assuming he is more qualified) Ode…”
@Time_Timoden said: “Papa Jordan, you are doing well. May God bless and keep your family.”
@alukokemi wrote: “God bless you sir! We need more compassionate people like you among the ruling class.”
@Paul_bem stated: “Congratulations Sir. Unfortunately most people are more concerned about the name and very daft to know Jordan is a country of over 90% Muslims.”
@Prosper4Osazee tweeted: “People who can’t afford one meal are telling Shehu Sanni what to name the child. Ode, go and adopt and name the child whatever you wish.”
