I don't teach my children to use right or left. The practice satisfies only cultural sensitivity which I don't subscribe to. It's borne out of the superstitious belief that the left hand is used in performing rituals. |

This scenario is not only peculiar to African culture. Even in the West it is offensive and disrespective to offer or receive something with the left hand. |

No mind them. Na because the money no plenty, throw a cheque of 3million with your feet and they would throw culture to the winds. Jokes aside, I don't even notice such. |
