Simisola Kosoko, the renowned Nigerian singer known as Simi, has earnestly implored the online community to grant a respite to the firstborns within their families.
Expressing her sentiments on the microblogging platform, X, Simi empathetically spoke up for firstborn children who often find themselves burdened by family responsibilities and expectations.
Despite being the last born in her own family, Simi is cognizant of the fact that many firstborns endure silent struggles. In an effort to amplify their voice, she took to social media to shed light on their challenges.
In her tweet, Simi advocates for a more considerate approach towards firstborns, emphasizing that their position in the family should not translate to shouldering excessive burdens. She asserts that many firstborns harbor frustrations but may not vocalize them due to societal expectations.
Her tweet reads;
“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.”
