Family Planning Providers in Osun have said that more couples, both old and young were embracing family planning methods in the state due to economic hardship.

Some of the providers who spoke with the News Agency of Nigeria in primary health care facilities in Olorunda Local Government area of the state on Thursday also attributed the increase to the level of awareness created.

They said that there had been an increase in the number of couples coming for family planning methods in the area since the beginning of the year.

A family planning provider in Enikan-Oyun Primary Health Centre, Adejoke Yusuf, said that the facility was attending to between 24 and 40 clients for family planning purposes in a month, unlike last year, which was between 10 and 15.

Yusuf said that the facility had provided family planning methods for over 350 couples this year.

“The rate at which people are coming for the family planning methods is unexpected.

“The influx was as a result of economic hardship and outreach awareness on the benefits of family planning,” she said.

Yusuf, however, said that family planning does not have any negative effects but rather its benefits are enormous.

She said that family planning methods allowed couples to space their children and also plan for their future.

Similarly, another provider in Atelewo Primary Health Centre, Aishat Olopade, said that there had been a noticeable increase in the number of couples coming for family planning in the facility.

Olopade said that the facility provided family planning methods for between 30 and 35 couples in a month, unlike the previous year, which was usually between 20 to 25.

She said that the facility had provided family planning methods for more than 300 clients in the last 10 months.

Olopade said that the current economic hardship and awareness creation of the benefits of family planning were responsible for the increase in its uptake.

She said that family planning methods were safe and without any side effects.

Olopade encouraged couples who were yet to embrace the methods to do so for the benefit of their health and family.

One of the clients, Yemisi Adediwura, said she had been on the family planning method for the past eight years without any negative effects.

Adediwura said that since taking up the family planning method, she had been able to space her children and also plan adequately for them.

She encouraged those who were yet to do it to embrace it, adding that it has no negative effects.

According to the 2006 Census, the population of the Olorunda Local Government area is 131,761.

Messi set for emotional Argentina farewell game against Benin

Lionel Messi is set to make his final appearance for Argentina on Tuesday when the world champions face Benin in a farewell friendly at the Estadio Monumental in Buenos Aires.   After more than two decades in the national team, the 39-year-old is expected to hand over the captain’s armband as Argentina begins life without its most iconic player. The match will bring together around 85,000 supporters, members of Argentina’s 2022 World Cup-winning squad and a new generation of players who are expected to carry the team forward. Messi leaves behind an extraordinary international record. He is Argentina’s most-capped player and all-time leading scorer, with 125 goals and 207 appearances, alongside a record 68 assists. His major international honours include the 2022 FIFA World Cup, two Copa America titles and the Finalissima. The farewell comes less than three months after Argentina lost the 2026 World Cup final to Spain in New Jersey. Messi was visibly emotional after the defeat and later announced his decision to retire from international football. “I gave it my all; I have nothing left to give,” Messi said when announcing his decision in August, adding that younger players deserved an opportunity. A farewell with old friends Several members of Argentina’s 2022 World Cup-winning squad are expected to be present for Messi’s final international appearance, including former international teammate Angel Di María. Di María retired from international football in 2024 but will return to witness the occasion alongside other members of Argentina’s golden generation. Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni described the occasion as an unforgettable day. “It’s going to be an unforgettable day for everyone,” Scaloni said. “Everyone wants to be at this match, and now it’s just about enjoying it.” Scaloni will also bid farewell to veteran defender and vice-captain Nicolas Otamendi, while Rodrigo De Paul and Giovani Lo Celso were called up specifically for the Benin fixture. Argentina prepares for life after Messi Cristian Romero is expected to inherit the captain’s armband, with Emiliano Martinez and Lautaro Martinez also among the players in Argentina’s leadership group. Other key figures expected to lead the next generation include Alexis Mac Allister, Enzo Fernandez, Julian Alvarez and Lautaro Martinez. Argentina have already shown signs of moving forward without Messi. They defeated Bolivia 4-0 before recording a 7-0 victory over Burkina Faso, with young players including Franco Mastantuono and Gianluca Prestianni getting on the scoresheet. The future of Argentina’s famous No. 10 shirt, however, remains undecided. “We won’t give the number 10 to anyone until Leo’s match takes place. After that, we’ll see,” Scaloni said. Messi remains under contract with Inter Miami until 2028, although his future in club football is also uncertain following the death of his father, Jorge, earlier this year. The Argentina-Benin friendly therefore represents more than a final international appearance. It marks the closing chapter of Messi’s remarkable career with the Albiceleste and the beginning of a new era for the South American champions.
