immortalcrown: Being right handed makes no difference you get used to what you grow up with Arabic is written from right to left and they are fine. Writing from right to left is probably easier In Nigeria some people are trained to clean yansh with left hand and eat with right and the b brain adjusts No need to over think it. Not every right handed person has dominance on the left leg You drive with your legs even more than hands arguably 1 Like |

This article has successfully confused its writer. Just get it clear like this: Left-hand drive vehicles drive on the right while right-hand drive ones drive on the left. The US, France, Germany, and many other countries, including Nigeria, are examples of the former while the UK, Japan, Australia, South Africa, Kenya etc are examples of the latter. |

Was that also why Nigeria moved away from the pounds sterling, inherited from the British colonialists to the Naira? Britain still has their vehicles' steerings on the right side, and they drive on the wrong side of the road. The simple reason is that: Nigeria was trying to wean itself from the colonial breath. Nigeria also jettisoned the parliamentary system of governance, inherited from the British, and embraced the American-styled presidential system, which is currently threatening to bankrupt Nigeria. 2 Likes |
