This Zikoko’s guide was written to help younger siblings make our lives easier because one day you’re an only child and before you know it, your parents create a couple of freeloaders called siblings that spoil all your plans.

1. Stop asking for money. 

Let our spirit lead us to remember you, besides we did not give birth to you. Thanks and God bless. The association of ATM firstborns are tired. 

First born in their minds

2. Don’t eat the last meat. 

We came before you for a reason. We came not to oppress you but to eat the last meat. Let us have it or else…

You have been warned

3. Stop being an aproko.

We are tired of bribing you. Nigerian politicians no do reach this one oh, abeg.

You better grow up

4. Don’t grow taller than us.

We don’t know how you’ll do it but don’t try it. It’s disrespectful.

This will be you when we ask you kneel down all the time

5. Don’t get married before us.

We will not hear the end of it, please. Love is everywhere and it will find you again.

Zikoko's guide
Take things easy

6. Don’t be finer than us

This is how people attract curses to themselves. Better tell your face to respect itself.

Must we beg you?

7. Ask about our lives too. 

Not just because you want to collect money but because you care and mean it and yes we can tell.

8. Don’t do better than us in school 

All the good genes, beauty, parents undying affection and good luck have already gone to you. The least you can do is let us have this.

This Is your final warning
