A reproductive health expert has predicted that Nigeria will begin to see unplanned COVID-19 babies from November 2020.

As a result of that, he has advocated the use of telehealth to spread proper information necessary to forestall unplanned COVID-19 babies devastating effects.

He has asked federal and state governments to adopt it.

Speaking at a Development Communications (DevComs) Network Zoom Meeting on Friday, Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology and a Senior Faculty with the University of Jos and JUTH, Josiah Mutihir, said the need for family planning does not disappear during a pandemic and therefore should not be ignored or neglected.

Mutihir who spoke on the topic: ‘Why Access to Contraception is Critical in Covid-19 Response’ said: “Covid-19 has also had a negative impact on access to family planning information, and services.

“The other side of the pandemic is the accompanying preventive measures that necessitate the restriction of movement, and the stay home order culminating in partial or total lockdowns.
“Families are compelled to stay home, day and night for periods of between one to 12 weeks depending of the country or state.

“This has brought the husband and wife or spouses face to face for long periods. Idleness has set in and increased sexual desires and activity result.

Where the woman is not protected, unwanted pregnancy is the likely outcome in most instances where the woman is still in the reproductive age and is not on any method of contraception.

“Information sharing of messages about family planning in addition to online or hotline counselling is also available.

“Fortunately for this internet age, Mobile Apps exist for family planning and can be accessed freely.

“The Apps determine the fertile period of the woman and then the couple abstains for a period or use male or female condoms, vaginal spermicidal agents, or the use of non-penetrative sex,” he said.

Mutihir added that there should be public enlightenment that many contraceptive methods are available in the pharmacies, which are not closed at the moment.

He also urged relevant authorities to put accessing family planning service as Essential Service and therefore should be on the exemption list for restricted movements among other recommendations.

Covid generation

No news. Lockdown has enabled couples to resort to committing "touchery" because of boredom. I saw a video which went viral recently in which the young man was asking his wife to come inside and the lady com dey para. She said he didn't allow her rest all though the night and yet, he was asking for more. The guy now chased her down the street . Every evening, ladies would come out jugging, wearing see-through tops and tight leggings. If any guy looks at them, their look would be like a lion wey dey plan devour a wandering antelope. Boredom is human enemy.

What are the way forward?
What plans have you made towards the future of this nation?

Some countries has gone back to the drawing board so as to begin a new movement into national growth.

Is better the government comes out with a master plan let's know where we are heading to.
Every police makers coming up with different ideas to confuse the masses.

I still stick to this word.

When you are given an option to obey the rules of men and the laws of God, choose the law.

Nelson Mandela fought for the law ⚖ and not rules.

Please this is not a good time to listen to anyhow talk.

Death is the destiny of every living thing

Many girlfriends will turn to baby mama , especially those that are with their boyfriend during this period
