Why y’all hating.
According to text, he is smart and intelligent and makes lot of money, A PhD student @35.
It’s still the parent’s responsibility to take care of him, other siblings can huge transformer if they don’t like it that way and besides you’ve forgotten to list his good deeds to portray that since you came to existence he has never done anything good.
Rest Jare, you don’t know what is going on and don’t disturb that guy again. If you can afford leaving the house for him please do and allow him stay there in peace.

The parents responsibility to feed a 35 years old man. Birds of the same feather

Your own is good that he has business and he is also pursuing his PhD.
Mine has gotten his OND but doesn't know anything, he lives with my mom, he doesn't work and does not help in house chores. All what he does is to finish the pot of soup and watch TV or go out to drink beer.

If you try to advise him you will regret it because he will tell you that he knows more than you and will quote any half verse of the Bible to counter you

He's the first born out of 5 children. He's doing his PHD and has his own business. He still lives with our parents. So he does not pay for house, food or water. But can you imagine this brother of mine who makes money from his business doesn't contribute to the house for the same food he eats, when he makes money he goes to hotels and sleep over with women and prefers to train and help outsiders than bring something to the family. Recently, he had the effontry to reject my mummy's food on the ground that it was served late. I simply asked my mom to stop putting food for him.

Honestly this brother of mine has never brought joy to my parents and siblings. He has had several accidents driving carelessly, yet my mom still takes care of it all and she has even stayed over in the hospital when he had the last accident and became unconscious.

They're just the kind of brother one will have and you wished you never had a brother , my brother is exactly that kind of brother anyone will wish not to have. Not to talk of his dubious nature, you can't do simple business with him without him cheating on you. I once was rearing one animal and had to send him money for feeds but can you believe he was billing me in excess. We also contributed money to renovate our father's house and he emphatically told us he bought something which he didn't actually buy.

I wonder why God gave us this kind of brother, he has been like this since we all knew something and hasn't changed for good. embarassed embarassed
He has been sat down and talked to severally yet he will repent and still go back to his old ways .

So pathetic!

What I see here is a challenge of boundaries, I'm afraid if those boundaries were not set at a younger age, it might be a little difficult to set them now. Your father needs to sit him down and give him an ultimatum to get his own living arrangement, not because he is difficult but because he ought to start taking care of himself, if he doesn't have enough money to rent a place they can add money for him but he needs to start acting like the man he is. This is simply a boundaries and discipline problem.

Me and my siblings use to have the same problem with our egbon too. He’s also 35 and he’s a cousin (my papa’s younger brother child) have always regarded him as the first child of my parents cos his dad lives in Europe and his mom I don’t even know. Na until last December me and my siblings gang up against him and gave him the words of his Life. I guess he went into reset mode and started making changes to his life. We stopped giving him food cos he doesn’t contribute and when he does he would tell the whole neighborhood that he fed us and we still gave him ori eja. After the tongue lashing we gave him, I personally stopped giving him advice on how to better his life. Always thinking that everyone owes him.

You guys have really tried so the best now is to count him as dead and move on. If there is a way your parents will chase him away from the house, it will be good so that his stupidity wouldn't be in you guys face.

Let him go rent his own house and destroy himself, who cares. If Grace is upon him, then let him repent and turn a new leaf.

Unfortunately the problem here is your mother! Not every child is meant to have common sense factory fitted. I have same issue with my immediate elder brother. Unmarried, 40, eating from my mother’s pot. Mind you I already have 2 kids. I agree life is not competition though. I never returned home, the moment I graduated, not because I would be chased out, but because I was ready to face life. He will not get serious because he does not want to leave his area of comfort and face the challenges of paying the attending bills life begins to throw at him, and your mother just like mine has aided and abetted him thinking it’s mother’s love. My mother cannot just stop. Your best bet is to encourage him to get married, which I intend doing for my bro when I arrive in December, I already asked him to introduce his fiancée to me when I arrive for Xmas. A wife would most prolly ensure they get their place, he has bills to shoulder hence he becomes financially responsible. As for dubious dealings, that maybe factory follow come.

Thank you for this. People with no firsthand experience wouldn't know OP's plight.

I am really wondering where all these opinions about first born sons are coming from?
I am a first born but I left my house while I was still in the university. I only visited during this period.
As the first born son, I was unable to rise to where I should be not because I did not try but because the demand from family from me was enormous.
If there is any contribution to make in the family, mine is always the highest while my younger siblings always give excuses why they cannot meet up with their contribution.
I was once out of job but I virtually did not get anything from my siblings. When the table turned, I was made to assist regardless of my own immediate family (wife and kids). One thing that is saving me is that I live in my own house which if I had listened to my mum, I wouldn't have built. She wanted me to divert the money for the house construction to assisting my siblings with their finances.
My father is late but I have never exercised my authority on my family. I allow them to make decisions that they deem reasonable without me forcing mine on them even if I hold a contrary opinion.
So, please change this your mindset about first born. That the writers brother is not behaving well does not make all first born the same.
I rest my case.
victorazy:


Calm down my brother, I know how disappointed and heartbroken you feel.

I must tell you! Is not his fault. Is called foundational powers, it falls on first sons. It would have affected you if your the first son.

The signs:
1. They womanize & women like them
2. They can never be trusted in business as they must cheat you.
3. You can not trust your money in their hands
4. They can owe
5. They can sell any sellable
6. They can be stubborn
7. They are intelligent but latent
8. Helpers always come their ways but never blend well with them. Etc

You have to pity him, he needs your prayers.

Inside life bro...
Op's brother is a wayo man and might be managing and his brother might not understand. He is actually taking advantage of his siblings+parents earnings and keeping his own for his personal use. I can bet he has plans and moves nobody is expecting in the family.

My neighbor gave birth to 2 boys n one daughter, all are worthless. The boyss are over 35, the cultist, n de never graduated. The daughter is the worst, she didn't even pass waec, not to talk of going to uni. n she's a teacher, who has doctors n pharmacist as her students. As I'm speaking to u she has b.p n stroke due to over thinking.

Bros! Because you don't believe doesn't mean it does not exist.

Not every foundation is faulty and I didn't say every first son is wayward, am a first son too.

If you like believe or don't believe there is what they called generational impact. Yours is good doesn't mean others are.

If at 35 and you think the young man's character is natural then you never really see or heard things.
