For as long as we've been making babies, women have been exchanging ideas about how to increase their chances of having either a boy or a girl. Unfortunately there's no medical evidence that any of them actually work!
Having said that, there'll always be a mum who tells you an old wives' tale worked for her. So if you fancy defying the experts and trying to tip the balance towards one sex yourself, why not try some of the suggestions below.

YOU'RE MORE LIKELY TO CONCEIVE A MALE IF...
1)You have sex on the day of ovulation , as male sperm are thought to swim faster and reach the egg first.
2)You reach orgasm before your partner, as this releases an alkaline fluid, thought to be more male-sperm friendly than the vagina's natural acidity.
3)You have deep penetration during sex, such as from behind (doggie-style).
4)Your partner has a high sperm count. This is because male sperm are not as strong as female sperm, and so the higher the count, the more chance there is of a male sperm reaching the egg first.
5)You avoid sex for a week before ovulation and then only have sex once on ovulation day, to keep the sperm count high.
6)Your partner suggested the love-making.
7)You make love at night.
You make love on odd days of the month.
9)Your partner keeps his genitals cool by wearing boxer shorts and loose-fitting trousers.
10)You eat salty food, plenty of meat, fish, white flour, pasta, fresh fruit, certain vegetables, but avoid milk and dairy products, such as yoghurt and cheese, nuts, chocolate, shellfish and wholemeal bread.

YOU'RE MORE LIKELY TO CONCEIVE A FEMALE IF...
1)You have sex earlier on in your cycle, a few days before your day of ovulation. This is because female sperm are thought to be stronger and therefore last longer than male sperm, who will die off before reaching the egg.
2)Your partner reaches orgasm before you.
You have sex frequently to lower your partner's sperm count, and so increase the chances of the female sperm reaching the egg first.
3)You keep penetration shallow.
4)You stop having unprotected sex four to five days before ovulation, to minimise the chances of the male sperm reaching the egg first.
5)Your partner keeps his genitals warm by wearing close-fitting underwear and tight trousers (although this isn't likely to do his general fertility any good!)
6)You suggested the love-making.
7)You make love in the afternoon.
You make love on even days of the month.
9)You put a wooden spoon under your bed and a pink ribbon under your pillow.
10)You drink plenty of milk and eat dairy products such as cheese and yoghurt, unsalted foods, rice, pasta, certain vegetables, mineral water, limited amounts of meat and potatoes, but avoid salt and any salty foods, wine and beer, fresh fruit, spinach, tomatoes and mushrooms, chocolate, coffee and tea.

Some of these techniques are recommended as part of the Shettles method of sex selection. Find out What the scientists say about this and other methods.

That's is commendable, though that's not the end. The struggle continues. Let's just hope they use their "knowledge" for the betterment of humanity.

Guess whenever the interviewer asked for range of amount he wants, he always asked for an amount greater than the CEO's. . Perhaps he always said he sees himself as the manager in the next one year.

Almighty explorer at it again.

AND THE PARENTS ARE THE SO CALLED CHRISTIANS.


THEIR PASTORS WILL ENCOURAGE THEM WITH THIS SCRIPTURE (PSALM 127:5) TO GIVE BIRTH LIKE PIGS. AND WHEN THE RESPONSIBILITY SURFACES, THEY TRY TO ABSCOND USING ANOTHER RELIGIOUS TEXT (EXODUS 22:18) AS AN EXCUSE.




WHILE THOSE CHILDREN WERE LYING DOWN THERE AWAITING THEIR DEATH, PASTORS WILL PASS AND SPIT, DEACONS WILL PASS WITHOUT SAYING A WORD, BISHOPS AND POPES WILL PASS WITHOUT GIVING A FLYING FVCK.



OR WHY SHOULD THEY CARE? HE HAS NO TITHE AND OFFERINGS TO GIVE




LATER THEY WILL JUMP ON THAT ALTER OF THEIRS AND START PREACHING AGAINST TATOOS




WAS IT NOT A WOMAN WITH TATOOS THAT SAVED THOSE BOYS FROM DEATH?





SELFISH AND HYPOCRITICAL PASTORS WE HAVE IN NIGERIA.




FVCK RELIGION!

Nice one lady. I've always wondered if we have any lady that's not an hypocrite here on Nairaland, and I'm happy I found one.
I refuse to be fooled by RELIGION.
I HATE RELIGION.

I'd like a clarification on this pls, especially that of "first name" and "last name".

e.g OLAWALE KANU MUSA....Which is the last name and which is the first name??
Insults are allowed.

Nairalanders oyaa add yours so we can learn how to behave outside our various homes.

THERE aren’t many habits that hold a worse reputation than nail biting, and still, that never seems to stop us.
While some people bite their nails in the face of anxiety, for others, the motivation is much less well-defined.
I’m a nail biter — have been since as long as I can remember. But I can promise you, I don’t bite them because I’m especially nervous or anxious. I don’t bite them because they taste good, either. For me, it’s sort of just a habit — one that I engage in for no specific reason. Almost like an instinct.
It turns out that nail biting, albeit a bad habit, might not be so bad as the common perception, and what’s more — there might actually be a good side to nail biting.

1) Nail biting boosts your immune system:
While biting your fingernails isn’t the cleanest of habits, it has been linked to certain health benefits. Our hands are filthy, which in the case of nail biting, is actually a good thing.
Every time we find ourselves gnawing away at our fingernails, we’re exposing our bodies to a multitude of new germs. Some even immune-boosting.
However, once our bodies have been exposed to these potentially harmful germs for the first time, we start to build up antibodies and subsequently strengthen our immune systems.
It’s the same concept as the “flu shot,” where a vaccine will inject a minuscule amount of the virus into our bodies to avoid any serious infection.
Additionally, by constantly biting your nails and bringing newer germs into your body, you’re, in effect, “working out” your immune system. By keeping your immune system actively fending off bacteria, you’re continuously strengthening it more and more.

2) Biting your nails relieves stress:
According to Amy Standen of npr.org , nail biting is now considered an act of “pathological grooming,” and psychologically viewed in the same vein as obsessive compulsive disorder.
The distinction that she draws between the two, however, is that while people with OCD carry out compulsive behaviours for no real reason — such as closing the door three times or checking the stove five times before leaving the house — people who bite their nails do so for a reason, and receive satisfaction from doing so.
This is because nail biting is done to relieve stress. Standen interviewed Carol Mathews, a psychiatrist and a specialist of all things nail biting, and Mathews explained the “reward system” that nail biters engage in.
During times of pressure or anxiety, when you bite “the right nail,” it just sort of “feels good,” according to Mathews. This is why nail biting is such an advantageous stress relief method when compared to more dangerous vices such as, say, a cigarette.

3) Some of your favourite celebrities bite their nails:
While I’m sure the series of A-list celebrities who bite their nails is much longer than the one provided by
nailchewer.com, I’m pretty content with the variety that they included. Famous superstars Tom Cruise, Eva Mendes, Elijah Wood, Britney Spears, Phil Collins and Andy Roddick are all celebrity nail chewers, among others.

4) Nail biters work well under pressure:
Although the old stereotype links nail biters to nervous, hesitant, frightful people — an old newspaper describing pilots during WWII suggests the opposite.
According to this source, the best pilots during World War II were “not the calm ones,” but the ones who were nail biters. According to the Dr. Maury Massler, chewing habits and other examples of oral fixation are valuable methods of releasing and coping with stress.
While it’s a common stereotype that nail biters are constantly nervous — by biting their nails, it often results in the opposite. So this stereotype is rather flawed in its logic. Nervousness may cause, or ignite, nail biting — but, usually, not the other way around.

lalasticlala where are you...

There is this woman I know that is yet to born so I told someone close to her to advise her to go for child adoption, out of pity though. But the funny part is that I myself don't even know the procedures. I hereby seek for enlightening on child adoption in Nigeria.
And also, I would like to know if she can sue to court anybody abusing her because of her act of adoption, just like how you can sue anybody for castigating an HIV/AIDS victim.
Thanks.

Google stores everything privately and here are the 10 important links ( URLs ) that will unlock everything Google knows about you . They are hidden somewhere deep inside your Google Account dashboard and they may reveal interesting details about you that are otherwise only known to Google. Let ’ s dive in.
1. Google stores a list of usernames and passwords that you have typed in Google Chrome or Android for logging into various websites . They even have a website too where you can view all these passwords in plain text.
passwords.google .com
2. Google creates a profile of yourself based on the sites you visit , guessing your age , gender and interests and then uses this data to serve you more relevant ads. Use this URL to know how Google sees you on the web.
www. google. com/ settings/ ads
3. You can easily export all your data out of the Google ecosystem . You can download your Google photos , contacts , Gmail messages and even your YouTube videos ; head over the Google Takeout page to grab the download links .
www. google. com/ takeout
4. If you ever find your content appearing on another website , you can raise a DMCA complaint with Google against that site to get the content removed . Google has a simple wizard to help you claim content and the tool can be used to remove websites from Google search results that are scraping your content .
support .google .com/ legal
5. Your Android phone or the Google Maps app on your iPhone is silently reporting your location and velocity ( are you moving and if yes , how fast are you moving ) back to Google servers . You can find the entire location history on the Google Maps website and you have the option to export this data as the KML files that can be viewed inside Google Earth or even Google Drive .
google. com/ maps / timeline
6. Create a new Google Account using your existing email address. The regular sign -up process uses your @ gmail. com address as your Google Account username but with this special URL , you can use any other email address as your username .
accounts. google. com/SignUpWithoutGmail
7. Google and YouTube record every search term that you have ever typed or spoken into their search boxes . They keep a log of every Google ad that you have clicked on various websites , every YouTube video you have watched and, if you are a Google Now user , you can also see a log of all your audio search queries. OK Google .
history .google .com (Google searches )
history .google .com/ history / audio (Voice searches )
youtube. com/ feed/ history (YouTube searches and watched videos )
8. You need to login on to your Gmail Account at least once every nine months else Google may terminate your account according to their programme policies . This can be an issue if you have multiple Gmail accounts ; so as a workaround , you can set up your main Gmail account as the trusted contact for your secondary accounts . Thus , Google will keep sending you reminders every few months to login onto your other accounts .
www. google. com/ settings/ account /inactive
9. Worried that someone else is using your Google account or it could be hacked? Open the activity report to see a log of every device that has recently connected into your Google account . You will also get to know the IP addresses and the approximate geographic location . Unfortunately , you cannot remotely log out of a Google session.
myaccount. google. com/ security
10. Can ’ t locate your mobile phone ? You can use the Google Device Manager to find your phone provided it is switched on and connected to the Internet . You can ring the device, see the location or even erase the phone content remotely. You can even find the IMEI Number of the lost phone from your Google Account.

Please, I need to know the amount being paid pharmacists for their internship and also how much they get as the starting salary.
At least to know whether this pharmacy course self is worth dying for. Always reading like hell.
Thanks

Though, period in women is very important but at times it is embarrassing if not done well.
My own experience was on a schoolday. A female corper was teaching with all zeal and enthusiasm but 80% of the class attention was on her bloating leaky and wet skirt. I felt sad and sorry for her that day.
So, a lady must understand herself well.
Let us share experience and how to help ourselves from this unintentional embarrassment at any other time.
#not restricted to ladies only.

Hello to Nairalanders especially the pharmacists in the house.
