The privilege is real. The pressure is heavier. I will inherit all my parents' property. I will also inherit all their medical bills, their emotional needs, their old age care, and their funeral arrangements. There is no sibling to share the burden. There is no one to argue with at 3 a.m. about dialysis payments. Being an only child in Nigeria is a full-time job with no shifts. Are you an only child? Is the inheritance worth the isolation?
