Dr Olasupo Ojedokun

I just came across this quote attributed to my late father, It made me so proud of his own significant contribution to the study of the emerging globalisation of the time. It is ironic that after almost 40 years later, his own predictions have come to pass, how prophetic?

Here is the quote from John Barratt of the South African Institute of International Affairs:

'The late Olasupo Ojedokun, who was Director of the Nigerian Institute of International Affairs, wrote earlier in 1972:

"Increasingly, economics have come to dominate modern international relations. Not that there was a time when nations ignored economic considerations in their daily contacts; however the extensive percolation of economic issues into all aspects of international affairs is of a recent origin. Nigeria's external relations have shown traces of this trend. Indeed, the most marked feature of her foreign and domestic policies in the last quarter has been the prominence of economic issues.'

Very Prophetic!

I remain in regular counselling and will focus more on regret with my counsellor next week.
