First born comes with a lot of challenges,first from your parent then your siblings.i tell you to be a first born you have to be responsible because even your parent look up to you. or else you'll be term "katon banza"but i thank God for every reponsibility he has giving me the ability.Glory be his holy name

Well am the first daughter, HV an elder bro but its not esy for me oh,like the second mom in d house,unnecessary expectations from your family. What makes mine annoying was I lost my elder sis when I was just fourteen, and that mantle just fell on me.its was like everything they expected from her was now my responsibility to fulfill. Also annoying comparison BTW me and my sis.am this quiet indoors, introverted person while she is d opposite, my mom is always you too dull,not smart, your sis might marry before you and all .To make matters worse,had an issue in school, Hv to start over again while sis is in final ur.double stress from them.and my mom always making remarks about my late sis in my presence, at your age, she was this and that. Its pisses me off,most times I just get depressed and all, but optimistic to God that everything would work out for good. Applied for the Airforce, hopefully its works out for me.

I am first of 5. The most memorable thing I recall growing up as first is d flogging by my dad. At one point, flogging wasn't enough, it changed to me being a punching bag, then I turned to football. Then when I was to hand over, it stopped. Maybe he figured it wasn't d best approach. However, I am glad I went thru all that. I Wuld hv turned out to be worse. God will keep blessing you dad. I totally understand.

I've been doing a lot of thinking lately, the challenges and how tough it has been as a first born child.

I often heard that many of us go through a lot of challenges which could be fustrating and sometimes, lead to depression.

I also know a handful of my kind who have found it hard in every area of Life- Job, Marriage... infact all areas of life.

I remember how hard it was to scale through secondary school- i remember staying at home for 2 terms for school fees. Even gaining admission to the university was very tough- it was just as though the devil was so interested in my case. After years of struggling , I finally gained admission to the university with many challenges as well.

Now, to the Glory of God Im out of school, Nysc certified, patching up with a small scale company- yet i dont feel satisfied with
what Life has offered me. I feel cheated and its annoying when you have to struggle to get jobs with youths who had graduated at age 20/21... and you are just there looking for vacancies that has no age barrier.

My pastor once said i needed to pray well because the devil targets the first born of the family. he said i had to run to God to rescue me. Well...I did pray for many years but things are worse.

I look at my younger brother sometimes and see how well things went for him; most times without stress. I look at other families as well and see how the younger ones are faring well compared to the Eldest. Its really depressing.

Why is Life not fair to us?


Jesus is the first born of God's people (how exactly do they put it in theology)...I don't think he found things funny..

Has your mother laid her hands on you? You are the first fruit of her womb...

I think the challenge is worse when you are Igbo.
When I was young, I remember being flogged for not fighting for my younger brother. But in my mind, I was like, na him find trouble na! Mumsy no wan hear o!
While in uni, I heard things like, you have to sacrifice for your younger ones. Meanwhile, owu dey blow me. But they will get the monthly update before me and they will still be looking up to you.
S/o to every first child out there! E no easy!

Well am not a firstborn tho. buh I know what it feels to because of my senior brother, you guys are trying seriously it's even in the bible set during the time of moses when they were asked to kill a lamb am put the blood on their door as a mark of touch not I guess. It was Pharaoh's son that suffered it since he was the first born. Well I thank God tho because unlike my brother I was\am very lucky. He suffered since from childbirth and his still suffering now sef. What I got with ease he suffered to get. even most churches sef this days they hold prayer for firstborns, Anointing for firstborn and stuff. God bless y'all firstborns out there you guys are the best
My sister, God bless you for this timely piece! To be first born no be the only problem, if you are a male, kasala don burst be that. Our issues no dey get part 2.
Re: Share Your Challenges As A First-born by ReneeNuttall(f): 11:19pm On Apr 18, 2017

I thought I'm the only first born in Nigeria passing through all these stuff!
Sometimes I looked at my siblings and ask God why I came first but He's the beginning and the ending so I surrender all to Him.

it's always like that.. plus it's more challenging when you're the first child and a female.
No being a female ain't as challenging as a male. Trust me, the way devil dey antagonize first males ehhn, if he devotes half that time to others, our world will be a whole lot more reasonable.

Well well well!!! what do I say? I'm d first born and d only girl of d four of us, from an average or do I say below average home sef, being d first born has been a good experience, I've tasted it all, I've been d best, the average and d worst in different works of life most especially in my acada. I know my parents spent so much on me in my school especially my uni, coz I didn't gain admission immediately coz of distractions not because I am dull, nd after which I still wasn't focused in college u know d end of d story nd what wud b my reward for losing focus...
My problem wasn't devil ooo if I read well God has blessed me with understanding and retentive memory but I realized myself nd knew d only oda thing to do was to go back restrategize get focused backed up with prayers coz I know wia am coming from, whom I am, and wia am going to.
I made so many mistakes for my younger ones and dey didn't have to make d mistakes I made coz I kept telling dem, oh dis was my mistake dat landed me here so dnt do same thank God, God helped dem to listen. Av stayed 3yrs plus after nysc still looking for job, wud tell my story wen its complete meanwhile my younger ones won't stay 1yr b4 getting jobs, dats my sacrifice for being d first.
*U can call me up for lands at ibeju-lekki 08138998395 u can get for as low as 600k nd very close to dangote refineries grab urs before d price goes higher*

Ah, I have 5 younger sisters,
All my clothes belong to them, sometimes I look for my pant and bra, everything I have is good in there eyes,
And when I get angry with them daddy will say , " she is your little baby" now , I have to share my pocket money with them even when they have their's
I can relate.
Dunno why she keeps taking my bra. Kid sisters ehn.
The boys too. They can frustrate you ehn. I settle fights every now and then.
