So, when an individual as accomplished narrates his entire journey into a book, the world has no choice but to stop and listen.
However, everyone, whether they’re entrepreneurs or not, should read his memoir as the lessons can be applied to both business and life scenarios. Most importantly, they’re relatable. Relatable in the sense that, like many Nigerians, he faced peculiar struggles of his own. “… In fact, there was no spoon at all when I was born. I never travelled abroad, never went on summer holidays nor attended elite schools; instead, I started school at St Peters, Ajele. Most holidays, I was sweeping the floor in my father’s warehouse or working as a tally clerk in his clearing and forwarding company, and later, during secondary school and as a university undergraduate, as a clerk in the bank. My dad never believed in giving me pocket money.
It is, therefore, no surprise that he has ties with some of Nigeria’s biggest enterprises in one capacity or the other, including AIICO Insurance, DF Holdings Limited, Food Concepts , Kings Guards Limited, Johnson Wax , Blue Chip Communications, Xerox HS, and so much more.
