Two words: Iliteracy and Superstition Some Nigerians even go as far as believing a left handed child is a sign of bad luck. Just last year I had to confront my nephew's teacher for trying to force him to stop using his left hand to write. Nigerians and our stupid superstitions 6 Likes |

olowofariwo: Substantiate your point. Washing bum with right or left hand is inconsequential. Prove it scripturally that using left hand is bad. If it is then why did God give it to us? 1 Like |

when I was a child, I was a southpaw, but my parents wouldn't allow me to make use of it, they always scold at me not until I changed to the right hand. psychologically, it has been affecting me negatively mostly in my academic and lifestyle,because when I make a research about people who are compelled to use the right hand instead of the normal nature, I found to know that it really affect their brain. barrack Obama is a southpaw, babatunde fashola and so many others are southpaw and I see no reason while people should condemn it. 6 Likes |

tribalwarlord:Not saying you're one but that is how sheep behave. They follow mindlessly, without questioning, even things that do not make any sense. Someone asks a valid question, and knowing there's no answer that makes logical sense, you use the "follow our culture" mantra. Na wa. 9 Likes 1 Share |

Its very barbaric and tormenting.. I grew up left handed and it was hell for me... One day in my mums shop i already had it up to here..I offered a customer her balance with my left hand because i was so used to it, she scolded my as if i stole from her and i got angry and fired back.. I told her to cut off her left arm if she feels it is so useless nd both her and my mum were suprised..i was about 15 or so... 7 Likes |

Not only Nigerians. I watched a Korea film where the boss rejected the same act from his junior one. So, don't condem Nigerians alone for this it is universe. |

I think is African mentality. I left my 1yr and 8 months old baby with my mother some years ago because of a job I got in a far away place from my own place. about 2yrs later I came to pick up my daughter and I discovered she was using left. I tried telling my mother that I was displeased but she quickly told me that God created all hands and never condemned any, so why should we? That statement changed my mentality towards it, and when I wanted to register her in school, the teacher warned me and my husband not to disturb her on the hand she finds convenient. Since then, she's being using left and God helping her, she's being doing wonderfully well academically. So whether right or left, God made them all and we shouldn't condemn any when we can't even make a single finger. 6 Likes |

Even in the Bible Joseph before de died called his two sons both the eldest and the youngest, he switched hands by placing the left on the eldest and placed the right on the younger one, he wanted the younger son to be greater than the eldest son. |
