Hello Nairalanders...

If you are a new daddy like me please let's share our experiences...

How did you feel the first time you saw your little one?
How do you come with sleepless nights?
Hope you also take good care of the woman who gave you this precious gift?

It's been an awesome experience for me.
I've enjoyed every second since my little angel arrived.
It's challenging at times; her cries, running to the hospital due to some concerns only to be told that she is perfect, her not pooing for some days... etc.
In all God has been faithful.

Please share your experiences...

qbd2:
Its. D english language. Cos in english language, greeting someone goodnight. Means sending them to sleep. So pple wud rather say good evening even at night.
Contary to that is d yoruba language, where there's a greeting for nigh tinme (ekaale_good night) which is different from d greeting u offer to someone going to bed (odaaro_ untilmorning time)

thanks for this enlightenment.

In Nigeria its a common thing to greet someone you are just seeing for the first time at a particular time of the night.

We greet good morning in the mornings.
We greet good afternoon in the afternoons.
We greet good evening in the evenings.

Why then do we say good evening when greeting someone in the night and say good night only at departure time?

We cannot be reliant on South-South oil in Nigeria and then
treat one of their sons as if he is an impostor for being
president of the country. The fact of the matter is that this
presidential election was the result of a vicious and
malicious gang-up of the majority ethnic groups against
the minorities.

As a matter of fact, General Buhari did not win this
presidential election: President Jonathan lost it. The
president lost because he allowed himself to be defeated.
Maybe he did not want to remain in power badly enough.
Or maybe there was a side of him that felt there is honour
in being the first incumbent president to lose an election in
Nigeria. Whatever the case; he failed to heed the warning
of many that, like Aminu Tambuwal and Lamido Sanusi,
Attahiru Jega was working for the enemy.

The first strategy of INEC in this regard was to create
29,000 additional polling units, allocating 21,000 of these
to the North and only 8,000 to the South. In this crass
manipulation, INEC gave more additional polling units to
Abuja than it gave to the entire South-East. However,
widespread outcry over this proposal forced INEC to
jettison it despite protracted resistance by Jega.

But INEC had a plan B: the registration of voters and the
collection of PVCs. This was bogus and lopsided; skewed
most especially against the South-East where only 7.6
million were registered and 5.6 million PVCs collected.
Compare this with the war-torn North-East: 9.1 million
were registered and 7.4 million collected. But the most
outrageous were the figures of the North-West. 17.6
million registrations and 15.1 million collections were
recorded in the North-West; much more than the figures in
the entire South-East and South-South combined.

In 2011, the Igbo gave Goodluck Jonathan a decisive 5
million votes. The task of INEC in 2015 was to ensure that
did not recur.5 million people voted in 2011, only 2.6
million in 2015. That is a drastic drop of 2.4 million.

Quite incredibly, the card-reader failed to recognise even
the president. It took President Jonathan 35 minutes to get
accredited; but within five hours, we are meant to believe
that 2.5 million voters in Kano were duly accredited. In the
middle of the election, INEC changed from card-reader to
manual accreditation. This suddenly brought into play the
huge voter registrations in the North-West. Cell-phone
video recordings showed many of the North-West’s
bloated PVC holders to be under-aged children.

Buhari prevailed as a result of a deliberate
disenfranchisement of the Igbo by INEC through the
manipulation of PVC distribution and the failure of the card
reader in the South-East and the South-South. INEC
ensured that, far more disproportionately and relative to
other geopolitical zones, millions of South-East voters
disappeared between 2011 and 2015, in order to provide a
smooth passage for a Northern presidential candidate;
which turned out to be Buhari.

While the internally displaced Northerners in the North-
East could vote, internally displaced Igbos from the North
could not. In places like Lagos and Kano, many non-
indigenes were not even given their PVCs. In effect, the
innovation of the Permanent Voters Cards is designed to
permanently disenfranchise the South. If this is not
redressed immediately, the North will always determine the
winner in Nigerian elections.

Godsday Orubebe grabbed the microphone during the
collation of the election results and alleged to the whole
world that INEC chairman Attahiru Jega is partial and
tribalistic. His outburst may have been embarrassing, but
it is not entirely without justification. The evidence of
INEC’s partiality is compelling. Although President
Jonathan put a call to Orubebe to stop his protest, and he
has decided to accept the verdict of INEC, that does not
mean we should sweep INEC’s shenanigans under the...

JEGA DEFEATED JONATHAN..NOT BUHARI.

ITS NOT ALL ABOUT WINNING...HOW YOU WIN
MATTERS..!

5minsmadness:
Everything has already been said I guess.
Being first-born means you are the first person everybody within and outside the family looks upon when things are going haywire. In my case I was lucky to avoid all the hassles of lookin after my younger siblings in a financial capacity as my parents made sure we were well taken care of right up to university level. My burden has come more from social pressures, keeping up the family image, protecting my younger ones from violent people in school and the like. Making sure they have good accommodation after school and stuff like that.
Also Everyone of my dad's friends look up to me cos they expect me to follow the footsteps of my dad (he was a doctor) but I have struggled to follow a different path and I am not regretting it.
Truth is the man was a mean dungeon master and most of us are far off from him but now he is in his old years he is looking for how to come close to us, the rest of my siblings made sure they settled far from him but being the senior son and knowing one day I'll be called by the elders to give account of my dad, I decided to settle close by. I have to take care of him cos he's my dad though he messed up so much in different areas. The elders be like 'we can pardon your younger ones if they abandon this man but we can't pardon you cos you are the first-born.' Then they start bringing up all this traditional bullsh1t and I want to tell them to go to hell.

But whatever he's done he's my dad and I have to take care of him. The others are allowed to go scott free but I have to take care of the dungeon-master. I guess my burden is more emotional/social than financial, at least for now.

well said

PrettyClare7:
for me it is not a burden because i love responsibility i love being @ the helm of affairs. I run from pillar to post all the time trying to do this and do that. I was brought up that way and responsibility mounts daily. Everyone looks upto me daily to do this or do that. My only problem is dat apart frm my bf my life revolves around my family. I love outdoor games bt no time i hv very few frnds who hardly visit and whom i hardly visit. I dont chat on d social media its not my thing. I prefer real communication. My social life is in a mess. My only interest lies in reading. Reading posts is the reason i joined NL

Is it not burdensome when everyone looks up to you?

brainiac5:
What of being the first and only child. Being put in the middle of everything

that would be pressure overload.

Agrika:
Being the "first" in anything is not easy, most especially in a typical African family setting...

my elder sister, is the first born of the family...and it wasn't easy for her most especially when we were kids (I ensured to that )...most of d times she gets blamed for things we did...had zero to no social life as a teen cos she was always at home taking care of the kids...and as the Ada of a family of 7 kids she had to lead by example...today she is married and the hubby doesn't joke with her, despite she is married with kids she still "sends" to my parents and even to me who is happily married...the last time I visited her this woman enter room begin dey bring pant, bra, shoes etc.. wey she buy for me, for my mind I was like d woman no know say her sister is not the little girl she knew yesterday ooo... lol...God bless her for me.
For my elder bros it wasn't any easier for him either, although d only difference is dat my Dad shielded him from shouldering all the responsibilities...but d guy dey try no be small...despite the fact am married, he too still "sends"...he called me the other day and was asking for my size in gown...that's a bachelor ooo...he is so selfless and so caring...so unworldly.
Inshort God bless all first sons and daughters e no easy abeg

you are lucky to have them.

roughneck:
Its not just abt being rich or poor. Everyone expects so much from firstborn.. To be successful, to lead, to be responsible, loyalty to the family and so on. It could be overwhelming but challenging enough for you to make it good in life. I've always taken responsibility for my siblings from a very tender age, I remember saving from my pocket money in uni just to buy them cool stuff so it's nothing new to me now that I'm all grown up and working. And by the way it could be rewarding. Lil sis sends recharge cards occasionally to me from her youth service post. Its not like I need it but I guess she is just trying to say "thank you bro"

that's great.

SkinnyDude:
what of in a situation where you are the first child, first son and the only son? and you are only two, your younger sister and you.
that's the situation am in. and am not even from a wealthy family.

What challenges are you facing?

option 3

The only sure thing is the word of God, not dreams.
Everything answers to the word of God.

what are the steps?

uwandukahuna:
While I don't have spouse, anytime I call them sweet names, they must smile

who are they?

greatgod2012:
I massage his back and eulogise him, he must laugh sha ni. There's this special eulogy i compose for him alone, i'm the only one authorised to give him.

that's good.

What singular act of service puts a smile on the face of your spouse when he/she is sad?

Whenever my wife is feeling sad, I notice she gets back her smile when I prepare a good meal or get fish barbeque for her?

Let's hear from you

wow. so much wisdom on this thread. I have learnt a lot and I am still learning from all the posts on this thread. God bless you all.

To enjoy the sweetness of marriage, you have to do the tough work of building it. The extent to which you are willing to work, determines the quality of your marriage.

In a marriage who loves most between the husband and the wife?
My answer is the husband,you can ask me for my reasons later.

In a family who loves most from the father and mother?
The answer is definitely the mother.

From your experience in your home, tell us which parent loves most,and which marriage partner loves most?

1miccza:
If you do mean someone i would teach i would say that's a big "no" no"

someone that can admit a wrong and is willing to become a better person.

Darteyyyy:
Teachable in the sense that I can change her?

No one wants to be changed now

someone who knows that she is not perfect and strives to improve.
