Femi Otedola’s New Book ‘Making it Big’ Up for Pre-Order Now

Nigerian billionaire Femi Otedola is stepping into the world of publishing with a new memoir titled Making It Big, now available for pre-order. 

The book, which blends his personal journey with practical business insights, promises to offer a raw, inspiring look into how one of Africa’s most recognizable business leaders built, lost, and rebuilt his fortune.

For years, Otedola has been known for his high-stakes investments, corporate turnarounds, and philanthropic impact. But this time, he’s turning the spotlight inward, sharing the unfiltered truths behind the headlines. 

From his early dreams in Lagos to billion-dollar ventures across oil, power, and finance, Making It Big gives readers a seat at the table of real African entrepreneurship.

Set for release in August, the memoir is available in hardcover ($27.99) and paperback ($19.99), with special early delivery for pre-orders made before August 18. According to Otedola, the book is not just about his wins, it’s a guide for those navigating the tough terrain of business in Africa.

“I’ve walked this path myself,” Otedola wrote in a recent post. “This is about the challenges and the breakthroughs. I hope it inspires the next generation of business leaders.”

This deeply personal narrative captures a side of Otedola rarely seen by the public. It’s not about boasting, it’s about building. And rebuilding. And showing that even in volatile economies, African entrepreneurs can thrive.
