Understanding mysteries is far from you

TheWebbers:


This is a joke, right?

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.

Not all the time.

Triangles1:
So first born don turn to animal in analysis, show some respect nah

just painting a scenario

HenryDion:
True or false
What's your opinion?

Very true..
Except if you're born with a golden spoon

I'm the first born in my family and am not under any pressure from my parents cos they are well to do. I'm only fighting to save my destiny cos my village people em too dey put eye on me.

menzino:
It doesn't work like that anymore. Am the last of 7 children, but .........

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.

HenryDion:
True or false

What's your opinion?

........... My born but my case is different

Tick A if it's always true
Tick B if it's often true but not always true
Tick C if it's never true
Tick D if it's impossible to say how true it is.


Tick E if you are nightmarishly confused about the whole brouhaha

So true

First born and not under any pressure

ON POINT!
D fact dat we av bcom so materialistic make us tink 1's duty is limmited to moni alone...d duty of a 1st born is basicaly keepin d family 2geda(which is nt a smal tgin

See what Nigeria the evil has done to you all.

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.

Some first born are even liabilities and never do well

There is a spiritual weight every firstborn carries. The weight of sin and affliction from their lineage. That is why you see most firstborn go through alot of struggles almost all through life.
God and Satan have special interest in your firstseed. They are the symbol of covenant of a man's generation now and to come. Every firstborn must pray steadfastly until the yoke is broken.
Dear Parents, bless your first seed always and continously. Lay hands on their head and pronouce the promise and blessings of the firstseed on them. If they get it right, every other sibling will fall in line.

Men must you attribute everything to ancestral spirits and demonic afflictions. Man gats work hard to make it. And this holds for all man. I get your point tho.

olmoRoc:
No, it isn't. My dad's first son seized everything after my dad's demise and claimed he was the sole heir. We're talking of lands, houses, car and even a generating set.

dont tell me that you allowed him.
My brother property no be wetin them they take jokeoo.
I know of a friend that inherited landed property worth more than 100 million.
So make him give you your own share sharpally.

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.

interesting

True.

AlhajaChinyere:


Many African parents should be stoned.

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.

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.

take him to court

Raalsalghul:
All this should be blamed on irresponsible parents. Besides, I have like 2 last borns as friends acting as first borns.

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.

Depends on the parents hustling spirit.
My firstborn tho not yet born, is already a millionaire n a house owner.

moonraker:
This also applies to the only child and well only Son. An African thing, to the best of my knowledge.
