Otedola’s “Making It Big” ranks top among Amazon Bestsellers in 24 hours

Femi Otedola’s memoir, “Making It Big: Lessons from a Life in Business,” has romped into Amazon’s bestseller chart less than a day after its release.

The book, unveiled on August 18, climbed to number four in Amazon’s Business Biographies and Memoirs list.

It ranks just behind Gary Stevenson’s “The Trading Game,” Simon Squibb’s “What’s Your Dream?” and Phil Knight’s classic “Shoe Dog.”

In the memoir, the billionaire businessman tells the story of his rise, the risks he took, and the choices that shaped his journey.

Otedola, who chairs Geregu Power, described it as a personal account of the “lessons, setbacks, and triumphs” that marked his career.

The release has already earned praise from global figures such as Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Akinwumi Adesina, Aliko Dangote, Samuel Adedoyin, and Arunma Oteh.

Copies of the book are now selling in major bookstores across Africa, from Abuja and Lagos to Accra, Nairobi, Dar es Salaam, and Kampala. It is also available in London. [GWG with rejigged headline]
