I don't teach my children to use right or left. The practice satisfies only cultural sensitivity which I don't subscribe to. It's borne out of the superstitious belief that the left hand is used in performing rituals. |

This scenario is not only peculiar to African culture. Even in the West it is offensive and disrespective to offer or receive something with the left hand. |
