A Nigerian woman shares some philosophical nuggets and spiritual insights on the consequences of being a firstborn child in Nigeria.
According to her, being the first child in a family has its gain and pain. When the parents cannot achieve some things during their lifetime, it is transferred as a bonus to the first child, but any curse attached to the parents has also become the child’s inheritance.
In her words,
“As a first born or third born, you are automatically in trouble…Whatever your parents were not able to accomplish, that blessing is automatically given to you. see it more like a bonus but there’s a twist here: so also the troubles and battles hindered them….We as Africans things are different here… as a first born born you need to wake up and shine your eyes except there is a foundation laid down for you”
Read what some of the reaction says:
@franxix: make dem kon born you for Naija Na double trouble
@Itz_franking1: The reason I can’t take my music life serious because as a firstborn responsibility choke me …as my father no dey Omo the world is against me
