Nigerian Billionaire and activist investor Femi Otedola has clarified that his upcoming book titled ‘Making it Big’ is now available for preorder only on makingitbigbook.com.
“The only place to pre-order a copy of my new book is on the official website – makingitbigbook.com. Other sites claiming to have the book in stock are fraudulent, and any orders placed will not be fulfilled,” Otedola said on X.
The book is set to be launched by August 18th, 2025.
The book will reveal the lessons, setbacks and triumphs that shaped the path of the serial entrepreneur.
“In these pages I have shared the real stories – the moments of doubt, the breakthroughs, and the principles that guided me through it all,” Otedola said.
“I look forward to opening this conversation with entrepreneurs and visionaries across the world, and to seeing how these experiences might inspire your own journey going forward.”
Meanwhile Otedola’s famous daughter DJ Cuppy seems to have gotten her hands on a copy of the book and supported her father by saying:
“Not every billionaire spills the tea… but my dad did AND turned it into a whole book! PRE-ORDER http://makingitbigbook.com.”
About the Book
Femi Otedola is one of Africa’s greatest philanthropists. The self-made entrepreneur and Forbes-rated billionaire dreamt of his first business before he was ten years old and made his first billion by the age of 41.
Part business book, part memoir, this book charts Otedola’s ambition, hard work, successes, challenges and setbacks – from making a billion, to losing a billion to making it back again and, as one of Africa’s richest men, settling into a philanthropic role to give back to the continent.
Otedola’s role as disruptor in his country’s oil industry transformed Forte Oil Plc into one of the highest performing companies on the Nigerian Stock Exchange. In 2010 he was awarded the prestigious National Honour of “Commander of the Order of the Niger – CON” in recognition of his contributions to the growth of Nigeria’s economy and for his philanthropy. He was appointed a vice-president of Save the Children, the UK-based charity in 2021, and he is the chancellor at Augustine University, Epe.
Making It Big is a masterclass in attaining and maintaining a positive mindset and a reminder that it is possible to defy the odds, no matter how stacked they are against you. Packed with personal philosophies and business lessons, this is a book of hope, backed up by solutions, written to inspire entrepreneurs in Africa and from everywhere.
