Family Planning is the controlling/ spacing intervals of children within a couple building up a family. The Nigerian Population is said to be over 180 million people according to the united Nations, Of which an annual population growth of 2.7% was recorded between the year 2010 and 2015. Bearing this in mind one would think Nigeria should set up a scheme to cub this growth. Odunayo sets out with the Battabox Team, to visit traditional maternity home and also ask people on the street to find out if they know about family planning and how many kids there are willing to conceive in the long run. Shocking revelations were discovered!
