Let Firstborns Breathe– Singer Simi Tells Nigerians

Simi, the popular singer who is also known as Simisola Kosoko, has expressed her concern about the excessive demands placed on firstborns in Nigerian families.

She stated that being the eldest child does not mean that one should be responsible for meeting the financial needs of every family member.

Simi, who is now a mother herself, shared that some firstborns have even experienced panic attacks due to the constant pressure of these demands.

She advised firstborns to establish boundaries when it comes to helping family members, emphasizing that they deserve peace in their own lives as well.

On her X handle, she wrote: “Y’all need to let your first borns breathe. They came first does not mean they should carry everybody’s load. Many of them don’t even like you anymore, because when you text them na so so panic attack. They’re just not allowed to say it. Let them breathe.

“Also, first born sef learn how to say no and set boundaries. You deserve peace too.”
