Not true in this age where the age gap between siblings are becoming smaller and smaller. It happens only when you're 10 or 20 years younger than your firstborn. |

G menzino: You folks are too many in that family. Imagine if the 90 million or so women of Nigeria multiply 7 fold in the next generation our population could easily top 1 billion in 50 years. Can we multiply the number of maternity homes 7 fold in that time. Can we multiply 7 fold the number of schools to take care of their offspring. Can we increase power generation to 35,000 megawatts from 5,000 in that time. What about roads, budgets, taxes, etc... because if we can't the only thing sure to rise will be poverty. Yoi owe it a duty to keep within the 2.5 children limit for sustainability. 2 Likes |

More often than not, if not by law of nature, in almost all family, the first born is the carrier of the family burden: status of the family irrespective. But sometimes rather, the may be balance or anticlockwise round up turn out of things than expected. |

In my own case ,our firstborn is selfish ,wicked ,arrogant and never help anybody ,infact he left his responsibility for me ,the second son, I regret having him as our first born ,tufiakwa. |

AFrican parents and to dey born children yakata as if they are exporting them to be someone else's problem i.e first born. It's not fair some of the burdens these parents try to put on first borns....but then again part of life is learning how to say "No". My mother always used to try to guilt me into paying for my siblings school fees in America. I had to correct her very quickly that I have my own children's school fees to plan for. I stay away from females who say they want anything more than 2 children (3 max by mistake) tells me she is selfish, doesn't think about the consequences of her actions, and is aimlessly just trying to be a house wife aka financial burden to myself and possibly future adult children. A thinking woman would actually consider the cost of the gbese of all those children and not be seeing them as either her husband's or her first born's problem. 4 Likes 1 Share |

AlhajaChinyere: Hmmm. I'm also a first born and my mother make it looked like it is my responsibility to train my siblings. Two of my siblings even insulted me because I don't have money to send to them. I'm doing my master degree without any help from any body. My mother never give me a dime since I have been going to school. |
Re: The Reality Of The First Born In Every Nigerian Family by Nobody: 8:34am On Dec 18, 2018 |
lawman88: It is not easy bro.. I thought mine is worse. I'm below 23, but I'm catering for myself in school despite having a father. Sometimes, they do expect money from me, for food and for the upkeep of my little siblings. The weight is just too much. |

Raalsalghul: Ask about how they got where they are. The firstborn would have contributed something to make them successful. Not really. Mine were indigent and financially challenged and could not sponsor my JAMB admission back in 94. |
