People with the left hand most active are ingenious. Report has it, that they have their brains collected to the left side in their head, causing them to obey the left direction of handling things. They usually form contrasts in whatever has always been in one fashion. This makes them inventive. 'learned that Gov. Fashola too has his left hand most active. |

i see nothing wrong with being left handed |
Re: What Is So Wrong With Being Left Handed by Wallie(m): 6:13pm On May 19, 2010 |
uyakachi: Nothing wrong with choosing your choice but why bring religion to it? Not to be sacrilegious but if Jesus Christ is white and you’re black, what does that make you… the Devil? Since we know that the devil is associated with darkness! Doesn't this sound stupid to you, assuming that you're a reasonable person? |

ChinenyeN: I'm just fed up with our people hesitating to discard the worthless aspects of our culture. I for one do not adhere to any aspect of our culture that I believe is useless. Examples: 1. Don't marry Osu - utter rubbish! 2. When seriously ill, consider going to see the dibia - nonsense! 3. Always obey your elders - the very worst aspect of our culture; see all the armed robbers called politicians are our elders; the younger ones keep obeying these fools. Any thieving elder must be slapped, punched in the face and spat on! 4. Marriage ceremony is very expensive - greedy elders again at it! 5. Better to marry from your village - who will comfort all those regretting marrying an evil witch from their village? |

If i must sound professional, it is not wise for someone residing in nigeria to be left handed. This is because d ERGONOMIC Considerations employed in the design of machines, equipments as well as systems available 4 use in nigeria ar easily manipulated by a right handed operator. How can a left handed person work conviniently in a mechanical or in a production engr.g workshop? Observably is the fact that left handed people work wit the principle of slow and steady. |

St. Richy:I think you’re trying to make a valid point but I’m afraid it’s getting drown out in your attempt to sound “professional.” It is true that most machine/utilities are ergonomically designed for a right handed person but with most things in life, humans adapt to fit their surroundings. St. Richy:You must live in Shakespearean times or you’re trying too hard to sound “professional.” |

For some reason, I find your post saddening, Cohomology. |
Re: What Is So Wrong With Being Left Handed by Wallie(m): 7:57pm On May 19, 2010 |
I actually agree with Cohomology's reasoning! I will receive every information of importance given to me with a grain of salt if I can’t reconcile it with my reasoning. I think the problem in the world today is that we don't have enough independent thinkers too many follow-follow! Cohomology --abstract algebra? Cool. |

My parents tried to change my left-handedness while i was a kid, but the funny thing was i began to writed laterally inverted. i mean my 2 will face right , my K will face left. But really im proudoif my left hand, it makes me feel unique |
Re: What Is So Wrong With Being Left Handed by HellaBella(f): 12:08pm On May 20, 2010 |
Funny topic. I myself am left-handed, well ambidextrous actually. The only thing I do with my right hand is write. I eat with my left, and do everything else with my left. The reason I write with my right hand is because as a child when I was learning to write, I was the only left-handed child in the class. I felt so out of place LOL. Also, when the teacher was teaching us how to write I literally copied her every move, and that also contributed to me using my right hand only for writing. Growing up my parents used to force me to eat with my right hand. I just couldn't do it - I always reverted to using my left hand. The funny thing is that all my siblings born after me are full lefties. Guess it's in our genes so my folks stop pushing us to use the right hand . |

Left handed to the core. They had to change the door handles in our house when we were small as me and my sister are left handed. I hand people stuff with my right hand, but even some right handed people have handed me stuff with their left (whilst apologising). When I was 9, I broke my left wrist, so I was forced to use my right for some things. Today, I use it to wipe myself and I also trust it more during a fight. |

Missy B: That is true, i'm left handed so i know. |
Re: What Is So Wrong With Being Left Handed by AVISENNA: 5:32pm On May 20, 2010 |
I think it's just a very big case of ignorance. I had some challages growing up as child and my father gave my classroom teacher a stern warning after that withdrew me from the school. I really love the fact that i'am left handed and i am proud. |
Re: What Is So Wrong With Being Left Handed by astuto: 6:54pm On May 20, 2010 |
Errrr, forgive me if i didnt look at all the replies to this post, but did anyone mention THE CULTURAL IMPLICATION OF LEFT-HANDEDNESS THAT MAKES IT A NEAR-TABOO? pls dont just say "it's according to our culture" and stuff like that, but we would like the real reason, pleeease. Thanks. |
Re: What Is So Wrong With Being Left Handed by Travelista(f): 6:59pm On May 20, 2010 |
I'm a lefty and remember my kindergarten teacher (a White woman in the US) telling me that girls aren't supposed to use their left-hand for writing; the idea of the left-hand being less than good is a worldwide thing, especially amongst older generations. |
Re: What Is So Wrong With Being Left Handed by justwise(m): 9:08pm On May 20, 2010 |
Travelista: Then we got something in common. . . |
Re: What Is So Wrong With Being Left Handed by Kenny(m): 1:14am On May 21, 2010 |
There is nothing wrong in being Left-handed. Left-handed people all lead normal lives. It's a bit different to us because it is unusual and somewhat uncommon in the society. Even some parents start correcting their toddlers that its wrong to use the left. We find great men and women who are left-handed, and some, still are living witnesses today. People who feel uncomfortable with being leftist around them are seriously IGNORANT, and probably need to be formally educated. Leftists are normal people, like you and me. |

There is no doubt that left handers are unique in the making simply because they activate the part of the brain that is analytical, detailed, strategic and problem solving. Left handers are the great thinkers of our kind, they are the knowledge workers that foster innovation and productivity, they are our leaders that bring about change, they are me and you that are born everyday. I studied at length why the left hand was seen as a taboo to be used as a primary form of communication but all I got was years and years of transferred traditional and cultural beliefs from our forefathers. As a young boy my dad did his best to transfer my attention to my right hand. My mum lashed at him everyday, till he had to stop for the sake of peace. But his fighting for several years made me feel different from the rest of the family, not until when I started to become articulate and a master of mathematics and analytical skills did I and everyone else realize the reason behind my success. From then on all I can say is, LIFE IS GOOD, but that does not mean you should buy LG phones. |
