Nigeria Culture And The Attack On Left-handed People. by Localemperor(op): 1:09pm On Feb 28, 2024
Being a left handed person in Nigeria has not being easy. People would always want you to give them things with right hand, they perceived that using left hand brings bad luck and most people would not even collect when you use the left hand.

Why do people believe that collecting things with left hand is bad and would bring bad luck, is there a cultural backing.

Studies suggest that approximately 10% of the world population are left-handed.

Especially for the religious and superstitious people, I keep asking, is it the devil that created the Left Hand?

I was already grown before I started learning to use my right hand. I can use both now, but there are things I certainly can't do with my right hand.
