To celebrate Obi’s 11th birthday, Jason chose to give him a Nokia 5310 feature phone. This model, which lacks the capability to run apps, was a thoughtful gift for Obi, who had been asking for a phone for some time.
Jason shared the news on the microblogging site X, posting photos of his son with the new phone.

In his post, Jason explained that Obi would be getting a smartphone on his 16th birthday, which he felt was a more suitable age for such a device.
The choice of gift received a mix of responses. Many online users sent birthday wishes to Obi, while others praised Jason for his thoughtful and disciplined approach to parenting.
The gift is seen as a way to introduce Obi to the world of phones without the distractions of modern smartphones, reflecting a balanced approach to technology and responsibility.
