It's not a contradiction because a first effect necessary being is uncaused. God does not need to cause himself, he always was. If he didn't exist, the nature of a necessary being would mean he couldn't bring himself into existence.

That is still very much a contradiction.  You can't say everything requires a cause...oh, except God.

That's not a contradiction, it's a categorization.
