In the olden days, it was a well-known facts, that a rich and wealth
man is known by the number of children and yam barns he had. (Greater in
number) but recently, the reverse is the case, in that a rich and
wealth man is known as a man with lesser number of children who he takes
greater care of.
The mass media had played a contributory role recently to educate
parents in particular and the public in general of family planning
programmes. This work however, is on how the mass medial family planning
programmes have reached the target audience the moreover, how they feel
about it.
The research work has gone to prove that the family planning
programmes as show on the screen or listed to by the audience had in one
way or the other changed the attitude of some families positively
towards child spacing.

INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND
Family planning as a concept of world social order is as old as man.
It could be said to be a means of population control other then
by disease, war, or other natural and man made disasters.
The term “family panning” was only applied to this ageless
phenomenon when the social effects of abandoned babies, clue to illegal
abortion and problem of outsize poor families began to seriously bother
the mind of sociologists, health workers and governments.
Family planning has received media coverage around the world
since it’s inception in 1916. Initially people reacted against it, due
to misconception and ignorance of aim and values of family planning, but
as the issue develop, it clear the people’s eyes and their perception
more enlightened.
Internationally, the United Nation (UN) through an agency, the
world health organization (WHO) has championed the publicity campaign
for the introduction and the development modification and sometimes
outright discontinuation of some aspect to the family planning qualified
media coverage and manifested the importance of population in planning
for world demographic and Economics distribution.
1.2 BRIEF HISTORY OF FAMILY PLANNING
The origin of family planning can bee traced to the concern
shown by two sisters Margaret sanger (1966-1976) married and her sister
Ethel, on the tremendous loss of lives usually involving schools gulls
and woman during childbirth.
Sanger who was trained as a nurse carried out a very courageous
crusade against the legal system in the united state of American in the
early part of the country to get abortion legalized. She was known to
have developed the phrase “Birth control” to and have set up clinics in
1916.
Another, woman, Marie Stapes, followed Margaret’s steps seven
years later by setting up a “Birth control” clinics in London in 1923.
It was not until 1952, that family planning made it’s first imprint on
the international scene in the year, an international conference of
family planning was held in Bombry on November 29th, This was the birth
of the international planning parenthood federation (IPDF) under the
joint chairmanship of Margaret Sanger and Lady Ranca Rau.
Meanwhile, the acceptance of family planning as a practice has show at the first time.
Sweden, because of the first world action of family planning
came in twenty-four years after the birth “IPPE” in 1976 and sixty years
alter Sanger opened the first “Birth control clinic”. It was funds to
the united nation funds for population activities (UNFPA).
During the long period of uncertainty in the development and
acceptance of family planning the phenomenon was widely regarded
believed to be a public health exercise designed to improve the health
of the mother and child in the family, it was only later when scientist
(social and physical) began to take more interest in the issue that it
began to be strictly associated with an aim at population control, in
conjunction with the General improvement of family health and
consequently national and world health.
The development of the world and national economic also depend
very much on the planning the uses population in his famous essay on the
principles of population 1798. He said that population was increasing
faster than the rate of which food was being produces.
He postulated that the world economics order was developing in
arithmetical progression. 1,2,3, while population was increasing in
geometrical progression 2,4, and 6.This assertion corroborated with the
world population growth rate project as show in charts AP.
Today, family planning is a worldwide activity, implemented and financed by the PPFN.
In Nigerian, the planed parent-hood federation of Nigerian
(PPFN) formerly known as the family planning council of Nigerian (FPCN)
was established in 1960 as a reaction and social welfare profess to the
prevailing social and health relate problems of the time. These problems
include child dumping unwanted pregnancies leading to illegally induced
abortions and morality (death) resulting from too closely spaced
pregnancies.
The proposal to establish the family planning council of
Nigerian was considered after the occurrence to two tragic cases septic
abortion of 1957. These cases attracted the attention of the marriage
guidance council in Lagos to existing family planning problems.
As a result this, a committee was set up to investigate the need
for family planning services in the country. The reports of this
committee revealed that it was a common practice among married and
unmarried woman with unwanted pregnancies to commit illegal abortion.
Family planning services was therefore needed to stop or reduce it
(abortion).
In 1962 Miss. Edith Gate of the pathfinder find visited Nigerian
and met with the members of the National council of woman societies
(NCNS). This led to the setting up of a family planning committee with
the responsibilities for family planning activities and marriage
counseling.
