Traditions And Customs That Only Ghanaians Can Understand by WokeNationTV: 3:27pm On Jul 14, 2022
In this article, I will be explaining some Traditions and Customs that only Ghanaians understand. As a land of countless tribes and an abundance of languages and customs, Ghana is ripe for the idiosyncrasies that make this West African country truly unique and special.

Ghanaians’ Traditions and Customs

Here are a few Ghanaians Traditions and Customs

The Handshake
More than a greeting symbol, this elaborate meeting of palms, thumbs and index fingers begins as a normal handshake then, before the two people withdraw their hands, the palms of the hands slide together until the middle fingers touch and then turn hands so that the palms are glimpsed before joining thumb and forefinger for the signature click at the end.

A handshake to symbolize friendship and ease can be confusing at first, but it’s simple, fun, and a great indicator of showing good spirit and familiarity with another human.

The left-handed Insult
Never hand anything to anyone with your left hand, unless you want to deeply offend them.

Traditionally, before the advent of toilet paper and toilet paper, you used your left hand to clean yourself after obeying a call from nature, and your right hand was reserved for eating food and interacting with others.


So to show someone, other than a sworn enemy, your right hand is to deeply offend someone to the point of anger. Be careful!
