EXCERPT FROM THE STUDY
Incidentally, these firstborn children that normally create great joy and excitement to the family at birth suddenly become the greatest anxiety for most families in Edoland. This work is a comparative study of the challenges of the first son in Benin tradition and the Bible. The challenges they face are: late destiny fulfilment, premature death, poverty, late marriage, barrenness, mental illness, etc. Many reasons are attributed to this such as: inheritance conflicts, polygamous and stripes discrimination, envy and jealousy of other children in the family, over-zealousness for inheritance, laziness on their part, malevolent activities of witches and wizards or sorcerers etc.
This study also discovered that ancestral worship form one of the greatest challenges to the first sons. They act as agents between the ancestors and other members of the family. They are easily accused of using Ukhure the symbol of ancestral worship to afflict other children in the family instead of using it to pray for the protection, provision, and healing of others in the family. Many people have looked at the first son situation from the perspective of heir-ship/inheritance as well as the benefits and privileges associated with the position of the first son and these perspectives have not really proffered solution to the anxiety or challenges that befall the first son, their parents, other siblings and the society. This forms the aspiration of this research. This study was based on the theoretical framework of humanism by Abraham Maslow and Carl Rogers.
