Health / Knowing Your Genotype B4 Marriage by Pikazo(m): 8:36am On Mar 28, 2016
The Importance Of Knowing Your Genotype And Your Blood Group Before Marriage


Genotype is the genetic makeup of an individual with reference to a trait or multiple traits. They are the collection of genes passed from parents to the children. Alleles or Allelomorphs are also referred to as the genes. Children born of a parent will have different genotype. Exceptions are seen in cases of twins or multiple births that are fertilized from the same egg. Human beings have two alleles with each pair inherited from each parent. An allele represents a gene.

Before the advent of modern medicine (read about how modern medicine came to Nigeria here), there was high mortality and infant death rates. All these children lost to the cold hands of death were referred to as "abikus". All these happened because there was no knowledge on blood group or genotype. People that get married irrespective of their genetic makeup should not be blamed for their ignorance. But with the advent of modern medicine( read about modern medicine and its advantages in Nigeria ), biological explanations are now being made on the causes of infant death rate, this led to the discovery of sickle cells in Africa, especially in Nigeria. Before marriage, partners should be aware of their genotypes and blood group as the society no long provides excuse for this ignorance (read an interesting article named no excuse for ignorance here). Parents should check the genotype of their children during pregnancy or immediately after birth. This will help to know the health status of the child and what they have to do to sustain and maintain the child's health.


There are four genotypes in humans - AA, AS, SS and AC. AC genotype is not so common and popular unlike the other three. SS and AC are the abnormal genotypes or the sickle cells. The knowledge of genotype is important when choosing life partners. Intending couples should know both their own genotype as well as their partner's genotype at the early stage of their relationship before they are well rooted in love and emotions. Emotions and time spent in the relationship can cloud people’s judgment or decision to break up if they are not compatible, thus, giving birth to sickle cell children and subjecting themselves and their children to pain, torture and agony.


Possible Outcomes of Different Genetic Combination


AA + AA = AA, AA, AA, AA

AA + AS = AA, AS, AA, AS

AA + SS = AS, AS, AS, AS

AA + AC = AA, AA, AA, AC

AS + AS = AA, AS, AS, SS

AS + SS = AS, SS, SS, SS

AS + AC = AA, AC, AS,SS

SS + SS = SS, SS, SS, SS

AC + SS = AS, AS, SS, SS

AC + AC = AA, AC, AC, SS

People with the genotype AA are prone to malaria sickness at their early ages. Sickle cell arises when there is any blockage in the blood vessels which inhibits the flow of oxygen. When the red blood cell do not have the required oxygen, there will be changes in its original shape (disc shape) to a "Sickle-like" or "crescent-like shape", Thus, the name "sickle cell". Sickle cell patients experience severe pains in body parts that lack oxygen flow. Their bone marrows will fail to produce red blood cells and this result to anemia. To save this crisis, blood is usually transfused to them.

In terms of compatibility, someone with AA genotype can marry anybody. It is safe for someone with AS to marry someone with AA genotype. The combinations of AS and AS, AS and AC should not be risked. There is probability of having a SS. Although. Two sickle cells should not even have a relationship or get married. Individuals with the AA genotype should help you prevent genetic abnormalities by marrying the AS, AC and SS. By this, we are hopeful to eradicate sickle cells in the world.

Blood Groups / Blood Types

The red blood cells that transport oxygen in the body carry two antigens, which are the A and B antigens. These antigens determine the blood group. Blood groups are represented with A, AB, O, and B. When the red blood cell carries only the A antigen,the blood group is referred to as ’O’.

Below is the cross breed of different blood groups and the products (offsprings)



A + A = A or O

B + B = B or O

A + B = A, B, AB or O

A + O = A or O

B + O = B or O

A + AB = A, B or AB

O + O = O only



The genotype of blood type A is AA or AO. The antigens on the blood cell are A and antibodies on the blood plasma are B.



For blood type B, the genotype is BB or BO with A as the antigens and B as antibodies.



The blood type AB has the genotype to be AB. The antigens are both A & B, and no antibodies on the blood plasma.



The blood type O has the genotype to be OO. There are no antigens but has antibodies to be A or B.



Rhesus factor or the 'D' antigen is also found on the surface of the red blood cell. Those with it are seen to be "rhesus positive or Rh+" and those without are "rhesus negative or Rh-". There is a possibility of having both Rh + and Rh -. A person who is Rh + will produce antibodies against Rh - blood cells. A patient with Rh +can receive blood from someone who is Rh + or Rh -. But an Rh - can only receive blood from Rh -.



Knowing your blood type helps during pregnancy. If the mother is Rh- and the father is Rh +, the fetus can either inherit the Rhesus gene from either the father or mother. Complications (Rh incompatibility) occur when the Rhesus factor of the fetus contradicts that of the mother. This is common when a pregnant woman has Rh - and the fetus has Rh+. If the blood of the Rh + baby mixes with the mother’s, it can lead to the production of antibodies against the baby’s blood known as Rh-sensitization. To curb this disease, pregnant women should always meet regularly with obstetricians and human anti-D immune globulin or immunoglobulin should be administered to those with the complications.



General Note



*O are universal donors (donate blood to all blood types).

*AB+ are universal recipients (receive from all blood types).

*A+ can receive blood from A+, A-, O+ & O-

* A- from A- & O-

*B+ from B+, B-, O+ & O-

*B- from B- & O-

*AB- from A-, B-, AB- & O-

* O+ from O+ & O-

*O- from O-



In Conclusion



Knowing one's blood group helps a lot. It determines the donor and recipient of blood transfusion, and also helps in determining paternity. A person with one blood type or group can produce antibodies against the other. For instance, a person with blood type A makes antibodies against blood type B. If this person is given blood of type B, his or her type antibodies will bind to the antigens on the type B blood cells cause the blood to clump together. Compatibility of blood type is necessary before transfusing blood in times of accidents and emergencies.

Nairaland / General / Greenfy - 6 Tips For Healthy Sperm.....guys by Pikazo(m): 9:37am On Oct 19, 2015
The fact is that many men don’t think a lot about their sperm until the baby-making tsunami takes over their lives. And even then, your sperm may not be on the top of your list of baby-making concerns. The first thing that may come to mind when the first rumbles of baby lust hits your radar might be worries about money, sleep, and your sex life.

The first tremors that baby making may be in your future, is that dinner conversation starts to turn into who is pregnant or having another baby in your social circles. This can lead to strolls in shopping malls, where your woman makes sudden stops in front of baby toy and clothing stores. You may notice that she lingers there, making happy sounds about this cute thing or that darling something or other. Notice, that she presses you for happy sounds as well.

You may find babies are being put into your arms at every family function with everyone making chirping sounds about what a good father you would make. Books with baby-making tips and parenting advice may have found their way into your bathroom reading basket. You may have even found “The Top 100 Baby Names” in your email inbox. One thing is for sure, when your lady is ready to make a baby — you will know it.

Assuming you are on board with her baby-making desires, be ready to join her in some pre-conception check-ups! In case you didn’t get the memo, men contribute half of the baby-making goods and are also equally responsible when conception does not occur easily. This simple fact is something that many men have happily ignored for centuries, putting the conception burden squarely on the shoulders of the woman. When entering the baby-making arena, it is important to know that it may take up to one year for conception to occur. And approximately 7 million couples will experience conception issues. But before the female goes through a battery of tests (which is usually the first thing that will happen), it’s the manly thing to do to check your sperm count to see if it’s normal or low. It’s estimated that only 20 percent of you (men) in couples struggling to conceive have this test early on or at all. What’s more, almost half of all infertility problems are directly attributed to the male, and most of them are mainly due to low sperm count. So, before you start your baby-making engines, you want to be in the best possible shape to conceive. Next: Healthy Sperm Tips

Healthy Sperm Tips:

1. How are the boys? The easiest way for men to get a handle on what is happening with their sperm is to do a quick check in! How is the count? Is it normal? A normal sperm count is above 20 million sperm per milliliter. You can find out if your sperm is in normal range in the privacy of your own home with a brand new over the counter test, called SpermCheck Fertility. It’s the only FDA-approved at-home screening test for men to determine normal or low sperm count. SpermCheck Fertility costs substantially less than a visit to the doctor. It’s an affordable and accurate first step in male fertility testing and can help inform you as to whether or not more comprehensive clinical fertility evaluation is needed.

2. Feed Your Fertility: Eat all the things you know you should but probably don’t, including fruits, vegetables and low-fat protein. Some studies have suggested that some men with low sperm count may also have a zinc deficiency. Boost your zinc and maybe your fertility by eating more meat, whole grain cereals, seafood, and eggs. Selenium, which is found in Brazil nuts, meat, seafood, mushrooms and cereals, has also been found to make sperm very happy.

3. The Drink That Refreshes: Sorry but you’ll have to cap your caffeine and alcohol drinks to one cuppa joe (or latte or cappuccino) a day and maybe the occasional glass of wine. Heavy drinking is a fertility wrecker for both women and men.

4. Get Moving: First ditch the spandex, then go onto a regular, moderate workout plan. Exercise is the gift of the fertility gods. It helps keep your hormones happy, your weight under control and brings down your stress levels. Heavy exercise that involves a lot of heat or compression of your testicles (like bike riding) is not good for your sperm. And stay out of the sauna or hot water soaks after you work out. Sperm hate the heat, keep your testicles cool!

5. Smoke Signals: Tobacco, even marijuana is no friend of fertility. Smoking can increase susceptibility to sexually transmitted diseases in both men and women, and it is known to reduce your sperm count. It’s just plain bad.

6. Take a Good Look Around: Your work environment may be a contributing factor to your fertility. According to the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health, ongoing exposure to certain things like pesticides, chemical fertilizers, lead, nickel, mercury, chromium, ethylene glycol ethers, petrochemicals, benzene, perchloroethylene, and radiation can wreak havoc with your sperm count, and quality. Becoming a daddy may be one of the most exciting things to ever happen to you. Enjoy the pre-show performances. Studies show that hot sex can boost conception! It’s show time! Sex is on the front burner, and think of all the fabulous, romantic, and sexy opportunities that await you. Consider going on a “Babymoon,” a vacation all about sex, love, and conception. If all goes well, you won’t be able to get away alone together for a while. What To Do Next After Reading This Article?

Nairaland / General / God Over Everything by Pikazo(m): 9:27am On Oct 19, 2015
APOLOGETICS AGAINST AETHIST/AGNOSTICS/PRO-SCIENCE CREATIONIST ETC on instagram(culled from Humans of New York)
They say God does not exist. It is important to keep in perspective that the subject of science/creationism/agnosticism/whatever-other-ism are all philosophies after the fact. i. e the study of phenomenon which predates it. And very often, as a believer of God's word, I find that the scientific research constantly is in a state of stupor and rigmaroll running around in circles until it comes right plumb back to the very position it abandoned-God's word which seemed so foolish at first. I am no disbeliever in science. On the contrary. I just don't trust men so much, no matter how smart. Because if basic questions like predestination, dreams, life, reason and purpose still baffle even the most astute of scientist I can't trust them so much.
Every man believes something- in God, or science or tradition, or in himself. However if what you believe is true or false is an expedition few venture on. It is a worthwhile venture. A ship with a faulty anchor will suffer a shipwreck. I often find many so called unbelievers quick to point fingers at the 'non-existent' God and blame in for all the death and tragedy in the world. But I have never heard them utter a word of appreciation for all the beautiful moments of life they experience. It even happens among religious folks; Who can be found praying in churches when they are in need but never there when their needs are met.

Why do people die? Why do living things die? What gives them life in the first place? What is life to start with? What is it that NASA is searching for on Mars? What is that phenomenon that they keep searching for? What is the difference between a still born child and a healthy baby? What is the difference between a sick man on his death bed inspite of all the life support tools attached to him and the youth whose cells rejuvenate themselves? Why do you plant seed in the ground and it yields fruits for harvest for you to live on and it survived your forefathers right up till this blasphemous generation?

What makes someone ask 200 people for prayers and the person gets a call from a friend... Yet another person may do the same and even more and not get a single call back? You may know probability theory but you can never tell me which numbers will fall on a pair of dice. You cannot tell me who will win a race or a football match. You can only guess. But in the midst of your guessing you have a little octopus in the world cup that chooses teams that will win and it is consistent from start to finish. You will study the octopus as you always do... But you won't acknowledge THAT which is behind it. You will do everything you can to predict the future, but then a little child has a dream at night and warns their family of something dreadful about to happen. And the family escapes. You hear the story, you will study the child. But you will never acknowledge THAT which is behind it. And yet you don't see that you are always one step behind

Life is not all rainbows and butterflies. It can be tough sometimes. And you’ve paid a heavy price to get this far, so the best option is to really make it count by moving forward from where you are. Free yourself from the world’s negativity – from the sources of ignorance telling you what you can and cannot do – by promising to look
ahead, to live ahead, and to get ahead. In other words, start making positive promises to yourself!
Promise to fight back, to fight harder, to laugh louder and longer and slap adversity back into its seat whenever it dares to stand against you. Promise to be a force to be reckoned with – because you are a force to be reckoned with.

Make these promises to yourself, and keep them forever.

Repeat after me: “I promise…”

1. “I will not hold the past against myself.”
2. “I will own my life and never deny responsibility for it.”
3. “I will speak kindly and consciously to myself.”
4. “I will listen to what my heart and soul is telling me.”
5. “I will live a life that feels right to me, not one that looks right to others.”
6. “I will let go of relationships that are obviously not meant to be.”
7. “I will not let any situation permanently steal my smile.”
8. “I will celebrate and appreciate the life I have.”
9. “I will realize and use my power to make a difference.”
10. “I will dedicate myself to personal excellence.”
11. “I will keep stretching myself beyond my previous level of comfort.”
12. “I will embrace the changes I know I need to make.”

In a world where vows are often left unfulfilled – where making a pledge means less than it used to – it would be nice to see words come back into power, wouldn’t it?
Promise yourself and then prove it!

You could add yours below.

Don't forget the image you have of yourself in the future depends on the actions you watch yourself take today.
