Columns P1 to P18 -- These should provide particulars of all members who slept in the household/institution on census night. They therefore apply to all persons.

Column P6 -- Sex
88. Ask "Is this person male or female?" Write 1 for "Male" and 2 for "Female".

89. It is important that you ask the respondent to specify the sex of a household member before you record it. Do not guess from the name and relationship which sex the person is, ask. You must be careful in dealing with names that are shared by both sexes such as "Ayo", "Gina", "Sao", "Gbessay", "Omo", "Oseh", "Femi", "Aina", "Bola", "Dowu", "Remi", "Tunde", "Joko", "Taiwo", "Kainde", etc.
