A certain Ifeanyi Onukwubiri has written a letter to his father Chief Rex Onukwubiri titled RENUNCIATION OF FIRST SON POSITION by which he willingly gave up His position as first son in the family. He has abdicated his position in favour of his younger brother, claiming that the position had become a total liability to him

See letter below .

To be a man is not easy
But do you know what is harder?
Being the first son in an average/poor Nigerian family


The responsibilities is just too much
You become the second father to children you did not bore

God bless all the first sons in the world

That is a heart of a man

He's nothing but a weakling. A disappointment of a son.
Disown yourself while you're at it!

D

Is this stupidity or wat? Meanwhile the story of Esau and Jacob comes to mind, while one was done trickily, the other was done willingly. My brother weda na joke u dey joke, be very careful cos na such jokes devil dey like to use play with ur destiny. U might not understand it now but much later in life. What do u think is the reason for "Esau I hate, Jacob I love?"

But why do some tribes ascribe unusual expectations to the first son? He is to sponsor his siblings like he was the one that gave birth to them, take the lead in taking care of the parents and the lead in inheritance. Why? Biko dont saddle your kids with unnecessary responsibilities just because he came first! I find it so unreasonable, especially when those siblings too feel entitled to be catered by their elder brother. Please!

See, family love thrives when no one is burdening the other! Whew!

Hmmm....what are the advantages or blessings that come with being the first son?

His place.

How funny...he said he doesn't want. It doesn't matter what place he is so long as he is in a place. For real it's quite funny that they really do not have real explanation for burdening first born...biko let them take the place o

When I say his place, it's deeper than you understood it.
A person that can give up their place can never be relied on. Not as a son, a brother, a husband, a father or a friend.
I can never respect such a person.
Like I typed earlier, he's a weakling, like most modern day men.
There are only few strong men these days.

...He is just a liver less fool.

Maami, you still didnt explain this his "place" however deep. As far as I'm concerned, it doesn't matter. What matters is giving every child of a family an equal opportunity at a good life and not burdening one for others because he came first. That's fairness. They should keep their title biko...first son kor, first bank ni.

Esau actually allowed his weakness to overcome him.

Hunger and love of food made him renounce the right of first born and he paid dearly for it.

If for nothing, atleast the respect and the privilege of bin the next father. Nothing can be done without ur say so, the opportunity of deliberating with elders.

Who that one help? Let them do whatever they want to do biko and keep their respect. The first son is not the next father in a nuclear family, he is just like any other sibling fa. Lets not burden him because he is assumed the next father...parents should simply have the number of children they can conveniently cater for without expecting their first child to cater them fa. Geskia.

Alaye, Bleep you and your respect.

The guy no dey do again. Period!

How does relinquishing your first born position make you weak? No make me vex for you o.

See, family love thrives when no one is burdening the other! Whew!

That's exactly why many of them always say there are no moral abroad. This is a shittt you can try in a white man's land.

Why would I take care of your child when I didn't have sexxx with your wife. So many of our so called elders are just irresponsible.

Babe, I feel like hugging you this night. Oloun!

This is why I'm an advocate for abortion and use of contraceptives in marriages. People should learn how to give birth to only the kids they can care for.

What is the meaning of this!?

A brother can never be a father to his siblings. Ever! This is just a way our lazy and broke elders brainwash so many of you.

I see a family where there is no love.
A loving atmosphere is a good lubricant for leadership.And it seems this man's family is devoid of love.
So with this abdication, will he now accord seniority to his younger brother, as in, 'digwe' for his younger brother?

God airpus o

I reiterate; there are only a few (make that very few) strong men these days.

If abdicating the position of the first born aka the position where you take care of other people's children against your wish makes that guy weak, I pray he never be strong.

People have to learn to be responsible.

investorMK:
