As the first child, my life is like a tale of up and downs. I started a fruit business before embarking on my nursing program but a lot happened and I lost my investment.

I started again with the little capital to feed and pay for my and my son's fees but it's still telling on me.

Do I want to talk about my other two siblings that ask for money and I have not been able to send them?

While my achievement is that my other siblings could finish secondary school solely on me. I don't have but seeing them smile and laugh about their love for schooling gives me satisfaction.

It's not easy being the first but it is a blessing. I know someday, my siblings won't make my mistakes and they will be so much greater than me.

First daughter dey try honestly, I love and respect our first daughter a lot. She is like a mother to me, I call her Ada Texas, she is the one that helped me and my bro relocate abroad( God used her in doing that).

I always pray for her for God to give her long life and prosperity...She is truly living up to her responsibilities.

God bless all First Daughters out there, and also all First Sons.


God bless us all.

Dear Firstborn Daughters,

Have you ever felt you had more responsibilities than your siblings? Are you expected to serve as a role model? And what have been your greatest challenges or achievements as a firstborn daughter in the African household?

It has not been easy for me, I almost fall into depression one time because of too many expenses.

People will be seeing me as a big girl because of my salary but in reality that money will only be in my account within 10 days of payment and I will have to manage the little one that remains till the next payment.

One day I sit myself down, talk sense into myself and removed two of my brothers from my budget.

As for now, the only people am responsible for are my Mom and our last born.

My neighbours in School then and friends will be saying I want to be like you, I will always warn them not to wish for that because of the money I received, they can't manage what I am passing through.

I can totally relate..You have to take it easy,my sister.
As a first child,first and only daughter.. the responsibility no be here.

People used to envy me because I earned well but I was suffering.
Would send money home for virtually everything..The worst of it..my jobless brothers would complain it was not enough and my mom would take sides with them.
All of us ..graduates..trained with family funds and some scholarships but it was me who was expected to bear family responsibilities.

I was at some point,almost resorting to loan apps,in order to satisfy them.

I started having palpitations and insomnia.
Whenever my phone rang and it's a call from home,my heart would skip a beat .
I know what I will hear is " Send money for this and that".

I was with some colleagues one day,my brother called to say I should send money for tissue paper and also to refill gas...
That mom was cooking and gas finished.

I was angry and flared up..
After,I sent them a token,The last born called and requested I send money for DSTV subscription..
I told him I didn't have.
There was no insult this boy didn't reign on me..he even went as far as sending me SMS to insult,calling me barren and ugly...afterall,I wasn't married(as at then),so what was I doing with ALL my money?


I received sense...stopped bankrolling them.
Saved up my money,got married soon after and relocated overseas.

Since then,I only send money to mom, occasionally.
The rest are sorting themselves out.

He copied it from my mom.
That was how she used to insult me.
At 26,she was already labeling me a les.bian & pro.sti.tute because I was not married.
Forced me to leave home and live away from them.
But I was the one paying their bills including the rent.

My brothers are employed now..but the last born is a complete nuisance.

Happened to someone:
Acting like a mother to your siblings especially when mum is no longer alive. Unfortunately those sacrifices were not appreciated by her siblings

Thank you.
My husband is a good man.
But I still have the problem of bonding with him.
I am comfortable going all day without talking to him on phone or seeing him .
I don't feel his absence,when he is away.
I am trying my best to get used to being this close to someone.
I will keep trying.

I'm a first daughter but I no dey do pass myself, I can't give you all my salary and be drinking garri, my job demands strength and strength comes also from eating good food which costs money. Nobody should put unnecessary pressure on me. I give what I can give, take it.
