Everyone looking up to you. The sacrifices you have to make for national peace and tranquility...

By the way, research shows that firstborns tend to be entrepreneurial in nature.

In some other climes, this entrepreneurial bent is encouraged early, creating an environment where people like Steve Jobs, Michael Dell and so on can thrive.

Back home, whenever a firstborn tries to live out his calling, and it happens not be the script approved by the family, omo, na deliverance case o...

That's why most of you don't go far in life. Always complacent with their comfort zones.

Maychang:

I've been doing a lot of thinking lately, the challenges and how tough it has been as a first born child.

I often heard that many of us go through a lot of challenges which could be fustrating and sometimes, lead to depression.

I also know a handful of my kind who have found it hard in every area of Life- Job, Marriage... infact all areas of life.

I remember how hard it was to scale through secondary school- i remember staying at home for 2 terms for school fees. Even gaining admission to the university was very tough- it was just as though the devil was so interested in my case. After years of struggling , I finally gained admission to the university with many challenges as well.

Now, to the Glory of God Im out of school, Nysc certified, patching up with a small scale company- yet i dont feel satisfied with
what Life has offered me. I feel cheated and its annoying when you have to struggle to get jobs with youths who had graduated at age 20/21... and you are just there looking for vacancies that has no age barrier.

My pastor once said i needed to pray well because the devil targets the first born of the family. he said i had to run to God to rescue me. Well...I did pray for many years but things are worse.

I look at my younger brother sometimes and see how well things went for him; most times without stress. I look at other families as well and see how the younger ones are faring well compared to the Eldest. Its really depressing.

Why is Life not fair to us?

Nice one there baby!

VickyRotex:
I'll wait for my twin brother to come, so we can share. Since we are sharing the position.


On a serious note. Op, you need to get rid of such mindset that first borns find it tough to excel. Guard your heart with positivity and what you so desire to see.
Your case is different!

Challenge the status quo, if at all there's any in this case. Which I doubt!

I think the challenge is worse when you are Igbo.
When I was young, I remember being flogged for not fighting for my younger brother. But in my mind, I was like, na him find trouble na! Mumsy no wan hear o!
While in uni, I heard things like, you have to sacrifice for your younger ones. Meanwhile, owu dey blow me. But they will get the monthly update before me and they will still be looking up to you.
S/o to every first child out there! E no easy!
No room for errors, you just have to get it right. Talking about challenges, I don't even know where to start from. But I love it sha
