Growing up as a child in Nigeria, it is a “taboo”, a show of disrespect, a lack of manners (home training) to use your left-hand to give out things, collect or receive things, eat with etc especially if you do that with an older person…naim be say your own done be.



You’ll either get a physical reprimand (either a knock on your head or a smack on the body) or verbal one or maybe both because you used your left-hand that is no different from the right-hand oo.
