Osun State
State of Nigeria
Not to be confused with Oshun.
State in South West, Nigeria
Osun (; Yoruba: Ìpínlẹ̀ Ọ̀ṣun), is a state in southwesternNigeria; bounded to the east by Ekiti and Ondo states for 84 km and for 78 km respectively, to the north by Kwara State for 73 km, to the south by Ogun State for 84 km and to the west by Oyo State, mostly across the River Osun. Named for the River Osun—a vital river which flows through the state—the state was formed from the southeast of Oyo State on 27 August 1991 and has its capital as the city of Osogbo.
Of the 36 states of Nigeria, Osun is the ninth smallest in area and 25th most populous state with an estimated population of about 4.7 million as of 2016. Geographically, the state is divided between the Nigerian lowland forests in most of the state and the drier Guinean forest–savanna mosaic in the north. The major geographical features are rivers including the state's namesake, the River Osun which bisects the state's interior before forming much of the state's southwestern border with Oyo State and flowing south. Other important rivers are the Erinle and Oba rivers, both Osun tributaries which flow from the north before meeting the Osun along the southwestern border. Among the state's fauna are mona monkey, common kestrel, purple heron, and royal antelope, along with some of Nigeria's last remaining Nigeria-Cameroon chimpanzee and African forest elephant which inhabit the heavily threatened forests along the southern borders with Ondo and Ogun states.
Osun State is primarily inhabited by the Yoruba people, mainly of the Ibolo, Ifẹ, Igbomina, Ijesha, and Oyo subgroups.
In the pre-colonial period, the area that is now Osun State was split up between various Western Yoruba states with some states being town-based as others were part of larger empires like the Oyo Empire.

The only predicted land with the symbol of the parrots (which signifies the location of the promised land) is the Iwo kingdom.

Presently, there are limited qualitative studies on malaria case management and care-seeking patterns by settlement type in urban areas in Nigeria. This study, investigated malaria-related health seeking behaviours among different settlement types in Ibadan and Kano metropolises, Nigeria. This qualitative study involved conduct of nine Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) sessions among community members and 20 Key Informant interviews (KIIs) with healthcare providers and community stakeholders in each metropolis. Participants were purposively drawn from three settlement types – formal, informal and urban slum. Pretested FGD and KII guides were used to collect data. Data were subjected to thematic content analysis. Government-owned health facilities especially Primary Health Care (PHC) facilities was a major place identified as where many community members prefer to seek care for suspected malaria infection. Reasons adduced included proximity of facilities and services affordability.
