1.0  INTRODUCTION

In  Nigeria there is a strong social emphasis on fertility and tradition of a son preference male and female are produced in approximately equal number in most species with separate sexes regardless of the mechanism of sex determination  in humans female is homogametic (X X) while male is heterogametic (X Y). The sex ratio of man is expected to be more or less equal because of the 1:1 segregation of X and Y-chromosomes in the male (2) in 2004 males accounted for 50.4% of the male (2) in 2004, males accounted for 50.4%of the global total (3) in the absence of manipulation, human, human secondary sex ratio is commonly assumed to be 105-107 male births for every 1000 female birth however, sex ratios at birth or among infant man be considerably skewed by sex selective abortion and infanticide even in the absence of such practices, a range  sex ratios at birth of between 103 to 107 boys per 100  girls has been observed in different societies and among different clinic and racial groups within a given society, through more  extreme ratios documented in some population should be attributed rather more to cultural preferences than to biological vibration in the propensity to bear boys or girls.
