The Difference between Social Distancing and Physical Distancing
The expression ‘Social distancing’ does NOT mean the same as ‘Physical distancing’ and in their usage, we must not take them to be synonymous.
•Physical distancing, is a set of non-pharmaceutical interventions or measures taken to prevent the spread of a contagious disease by maintaining a physical distance between people and reducing the number of times people come into close contact with each other. It typically involves keeping a certain distance from others (Wikipedia)
•Social distance on the other hand refers to the level of acceptance people have of others outside of their own social group or class. This level of acceptance is defined by their general feelings toward others, and the amount of social interaction they have with people whose characteristics are outside of their social norm. Social distance is a measure of perceived difference (or distance) among groups. As a social construct, social distance is a familiar issue. Many common phrases refer to social distance, such as ‘out of your league’ and ‘birds of a feather flock together.
Some social characteristics that lead to social distance include race, ethnicity, age, gender, and economic class.
Some people for example, still exhibit extreme levels of racial social distance by not wanting to live or work with members of other ethnicities.This emerges from feelings and manifests in attitude which is a demonstration of Social distancing.
• Clearly then, the strategy to reduce the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic is PHYSICAL DISTANCING and NOT social distancing
• A very welcome development is that, the World Health Organization (WHO) has started using the phrase “physical distancing” instead of “social distancing” as a way to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus from people to people, a move widely welcomed by experts as a step in the “right direction”.
• Let’s observe Physical distancing to stop the spread of the corona virus.
• Stay safe and blessed.

BREAKING NEWS: Oba Sikiru Kayode Adetona, Awujale of Ijebuland, Passes at 91

Ijebu Ode, Nigeria — A monumental chapter in Nigeria’s traditional history has come to a close. Oba Sikiru Kayode Adetona, the Awujale of Ijebuland, has reportedly joined his ancestors at the age of 91, after reigning with wisdom and grace for over six decades.
The revered monarch, who ascended the throne in 1960, was one of Africa’s longest-serving traditional rulers. His reign witnessed the transformation of Ijebuland into a symbol of cultural pride, economic vitality, and progressive leadership. Often referred to as a king of the people, Oba Adetona was admired for his fearless advocacy, sharp intellect, and unwavering dedication to the development of his kingdom.
Born into the royal Anikilaya family of Ijebu Ode, Oba Adetona was installed as Awujale at the youthful age of 26. Throughout his reign, he became a national figure, respected by politicians, academics, business moguls, and traditional institutions across Nigeria and beyond. His influence extended far beyond royal duties, often shaping national conversations on good governance, traditional relevance, and constitutional order.
Though his exit from this world marks the end of an era, his impact will continue to echo through time. Under his watch, Ijebuland thrived culturally and economically, with landmarks like the annual Ojude Oba Festival gaining international recognition.
Condolences have begun to pour in from dignitaries, royal houses, and citizens, all mourning the loss of a great custodian of Yoruba heritage.
Details regarding funeral rites and official mourning procedures are expected to be announced by the royal family and the Ijebu traditional council in the coming days.
As Ijebuland bows its head in deep reverence, Nigeria remembers a king who ruled not just with a crown, but with courage, vision, and a profound sense of service.
