EyezofGod120:why do u recieve or give a handshake with ur right? See ehn, courtesy is courtesy. I have watchd whites c0mplimenting and handing things out, they do it with their right. It's different if u are handicapped. |

Funny enough I had this discussion right now in a bus filled with old people. They argued that it brings bad luck for them and it's disrespectful. I don't see anything wrong with that btw |

tribalwarlord: Typical black man. No critical thinking, can’t exercise our brains. Intellectually lazy and closed minded. ‘My ancestors did it, so I must do it’ This is the Information Age guys. Wake up Africans. The developed world has left you behind! 2 Likes |

andyanders:guy, take am easy. Me and u no get quarrell na. why do u recieve or give a handshake with ur right? See ehn, courtesy is courtesy. Respect na respect. Even whites, when they greet their boss, they n0d their head. When they greet, they either stand firm and shake hands or n0d and smile. I have watchd whites c0mplimenting and handing things out, they do it with their right. It's different if u are handicapped. The afro mentality there na, every0ne is superstitious and are quick to feel undermined when they d0n't recieve respect. S0me people if u d0n't greet them, they start thinking u are their enemy. So imagine u handing m0ney with ur left to an elder n0w, he'd feel insulted or feel u are wishing him bad. But using ur right is a mark of respect. Or why must we kn0ck b4 we enter people's r0oms? Or wear corp0rate clothes to work? |

It's not evil, nor is it a sin, nor is there something really 'wrong' with the left hand. English. Left. Right Yoruba. Owo Osi. Owo Otun Igbo. Aka Ekpe. Aka Nri The above languages are ones I know very well. So find out what left, osi, and ekpe means and you'd see that they represent the negatives. It's just a common sense thing. As Africans, we're cultured people and it has been our culture to give and receive with the right hand. Some people here would say it means nothing, but they just lack good upbringing. |

As I heard... Back in the day, when conditions were far from sanitary, it was the reserved hand for butt-wiping. |

Minemrys:courtesy is a personal choice it's not a requirement even at work with wihite people regardless if they are my boss or not. in nigeria, yes! they get offended when people don't follow their idea/mentality of respect or respect your elder, in white people's country it isn't like that as long as you don't disrespect your boss or manager as required by the company's rules and regulations, anything else done aside from that is as i said, your personal ways of respect Knocking on the door isn't the same as giving things out with a left hand or right hand, so it's not courtesy infact, in some cases knocking before you enter are requirments which is why in some offices it's written boldly at the doors "knock before you enter" it is ussually for security reasons also not courtesy. in the case of coporately to work it also comes down to company's rules/ regulations or requirements not courtesy, courtesy is a choice, hence i cannot chose to turn up at work nakid, shirtless or bare footed, company wouldn't accept it. Right or left hand makes no difference! |
