Right Handedness VS Left Handedness. by uboma(m): 10:30pm On Aug 11, 2014
In our society today, people frown upon those who make use of their left hands. I've heard of stories where parents did a lot of barbaric things to prevent their child(ren) from using their left hands. The barbaric things ranges from piercing the left palms of their children to prevent them from writing with it, slapping their left hands at intervals and so on. Why is this so? Do these parents feel/think that their wards will not grow up to be successful individuals when allowed to use their left hands? Or is it a culture in some parts of the country? Or simply put, ignorance on the part of these parents?

We have a lot of successful individuals here and abroad who are left handed. President Obama of the US is one of them, our Vice President, Namadi Sambo, Lagos State Governor, Babatunde Fashola and so on are just a few examples that comes to mind of those who actively make use of their left hands and are proud to display their left handedness in public.

Let's hear your story/experience about the use of left hands.

I was naturally left handed but I was beaten and forced to use my right hand to write. Now I can use both hands to do most things.

There is nothing special about it. It's just that around here, we are more used to people being right handed. It doesn't really matter.

Most left-handed females I have met are very intelligent. Maybe it was just coincidence.

You hate people who are left-handed? Talk of ignorance,this is the height of it. I hope u will not kill any of ur kids who show signs of it. They did not create themselves that way,their Maker deemed it so.

@ Topic,i heard they are usually intelligent. It would be pure wickedness on the part of a parent to force that kid into using his right hand,as aginst natural use of left.

Lefties are supposed to be intelligent since people attributes rightness to everything right and lefties use their right side of their brain more...
Re: Right Handedness VS Left Handedness. by MightySparrow: 6:08am On Aug 12, 2014
God designed everything living in pairs, so are some parts of our bodies.
I am right handed, I trained my self to use the left hand and leg and I use them fairly well.
I take the advantage of knowledge that you can dictate what you want to the brain and not the other way round.




If you say I'm ambidextrous, you are right, but not natural by training.

As a south paw, i was a better footballer than my contemporaries, had a higher I.Q than most of my classmates.My condition has enabled me to think out of the box thus giving us the capacity to be unique,very creative,rich and deadly.A word of advice,NEVER go into a brawl with a leftie especially one trained in the arts,you just can never tell where the knockout strike will come from.....
