Okay am creating this thread to try to tackle the issue of being left handed cuz its making elders to tag one as being direspectful. I want to know why our elders would never accept anything being given to them using your left hand. To my fellow nairalanders please i need answers |

Just give one of the elders a briefcase filled with money and a car key with your left hand and see his reaction first. |

I usually give with my left hand. All those notions are mere social constructs. The same way people see cesarean delivery as unnatural, just constructs imprisoning rational mindsets. 1 Like |

jaeyking: It is part of our culture to view someone younger who attempts to/receives or gives using the left hand, as being disrespectful. However I do not condemn persons who write with their left hands. |

It is just another useless and insensible african mentality. Even naturally left-handed children are being tortured for eating with their left. 1 Like |

Danrizzle: I agree. A child should eat with whatever hand he/she feels comfortable with. |
