Soooo you think it's been quiet on this front for a couple of weeks? Not so. Don't think our great association is not always at work, using every opportunity to promote our culture and our country, presenting us in a different and more positive light than we might otherwise have been seen by others.
To that end, at the invitation of Auburn University’s President, YODAAI President, Dr. Oluyinka Adediji was a guest speaker at Auburn University on Monday, the 19th of March, 2012.

Auburn’s President, Dr. Jay Gogue teaches a class of honors students. The class is based on the book, “The Next One Hundred Years”, by George Friedman. The author is a futurist and tries to describe what the world will look like at the beginning of the next century. As part of the class, the University President likes to bring in international visitors to describe their countries and relationship with other countries of the world.
