Why Is Giving With Left Hands Exactly Wrong? by mamuzoOMAH(m): 9:29am On Apr 07, 2017 |
So 3 days ago I was at the market with my friend. I attempted to give the seller money with my left hand and he rebuked me immediately despite my right hand being full with somethings. Now my question is, what exactly is wrong in giving or receiving with your left hand? What is the rationale behind this? |

It's a norm the society has come to accept. A folkway! |

mamuzoOMAH: Giving with left hand goes against laid down societal values which distorts societal order. No matter how much western culture invades the African atmosphere, we are still Africans. |
