Is It Wrong To Give Out Something With The Left Hand? by ben4ever(m): 8:54pm On May 03, 2012 |
Hello fellow nairalanders, i ignorantly gave someone an item with my left hand today and was surprised at the kind of scolding i received. i still dont undastand if God forbade us from using the left hand? I really need honest contributions from you all, i will also welcome constructive criticisms as well. |

In Igboland its very disrespectful to do that especially to the elderly. I also think its the same wif most Nigerian groups. 1 Like |

NRI PRIEST: In Igboland its very disrespectful to do that especially to the elderly. I also think its the same wif most Nigerian groups. Yes bro, i fully undastand d culture, but being a literate and also a christian, doesn't it change everything? |

ben4ever: What does being literate and being a particular religion have to do with culture? Are you saying that we should completely Westernize ourselves? |
Re: Is It Wrong To Give Out Something With The Left Hand? by ben4ever(m): 5:18am On May 06, 2012 |
@fulaman No, dat is not what i mean. Its not about westernization, its being fully aware about right and wrong! What if the person is a lefty? He shud not use his hand again? |

ben4ever: @fulaman Being left-handed can't stop one from giving out something with one's right hand, can it? I know I can give out something with both left and right hand though I'm right-handed. |

I think the issue is culture and to appease you know our fellow relatives people should just do it with the right hand. However people should note some people are left handed and since that the dominant hand they sometimes do it without thinking since its so normal to them so there shouldnt be a big hurrah when its done at times. 1 Like |

I read that in some areas of Africa where water is scarce, the left hand is used to eat, being the least contaminated (in the case of rights, of course) Anyone know anything about that? There is a "standard" arguably international, although it is written, possibly protocol, in that whatever we do we give and receive with your right hand. That, whether we are right or left. |
