Names they say, have effect on people. According to our elders in society, names play major roles in the life of human being since it has the tendency to uplift a person or reduce a person to nothing.

In biblical times, God had to change the names of Abraham, Sarah, Jacob, Simon, Naomi, Saul, Joseph, Daniel, Esther, Nebuchadnezzer among others before they could enjoy his blessings.

The story of Jabez affirms the fact that names have impact on people. Jabez was named by his mother because, according to her, she gave birth to him in pain and that made him suffer all his life until he cried unto God to change his name.

It just goes to show that even if we give such names to our children with the best of intentions, it may not immune them from the possible negative influence of their meanings on them.

This and many more are the reasons why Wizkid and Jada P named their adorable son, “Zion”. Jada explains in biblical terms, the names promised land while in the Rastafarian culture, it means an utopia or heaven on earth.
