In Pursuit – Journeys in African Entrepreneurship chronicles the journeys of two friends whose experiences in America shaped their approach to starting their own businesses in Nigeria. Drawing on their experiences of working, building and supporting business, and exposure to multimillion-dollar projects around the world, they uncover what it takes to own, run, and grow a profitable business.
Through their personal insights, they relay information relevant not only to entrepreneurs and investors seeking to do business in Nigeria, but anywhere on the globe—after all, the heart of business is human interaction. Their conversational banter-jab style, for which they’re known in person and on social media, invites readers into their circle where they can share the wisdom gained through continuous pursuits to fulfill their dreams. Business and life intersect.
No matter your goal, you’re not crazy, and no, you’re not alone! Through In Pursuit, two Bendel boys invite you to laugh, yell, and reflect, as they converse from head and heart.

I would have waited to complete reading the book before saying anything.. but I nor fit.
It’s like fire shut up in my bones.. I can’t keep calm. This book just updated me to a newer/better version of who I’m supposed to.
I have NEVER read a book like this in my whole life. Each page is a school.. any Entrepreneur that gets a hold of this masterpiece can’t remain the same again.. the articles are timeless and ageless.
Thank you so much OOG and CC.. Walahi! You guys had me in mind when you were writing this book.. I could connect with every single chapter and illustration made.. the writing style is second to none, making it so interesting to read and easy to understand.
Who would have taught me that “EFFECTIVE BUSINESS PERFORMANCE IS DEMONSTRATED NOT ONLY BY WHAT YOU DO, BUT ALSO ITS PROJECTED BY WHO YOU ARE, AND THE VALUES THAT MOTIVATE YOU”..
The book encapsulates the entire story of an African entrepreneur, their hurdles, their fears and their victories.. PATIENT AND CONSISTENCY IS KEY
Indeed now I’m more convinced that I’M NOT ALONE
This is not a review per say.. it’s me saying thank you to the authors

This book is like an entrepreneur’s companion as he walk into the unknown. If he takes it with him, he would see that he’s not alone in the journey. It’s a good read especially for entrepreneurs who want to build a business and legacy

This book is money well spent. The conversational style of two authors as they tell their journey in entrepreneurship in Nigeria is engaging. Written by returnees, it reiterates the message of excellence, consistency, hard work and hope. The lessons in this story remind me very closely of Yomi Jemibewon’s “Risk and Return”. Despite challenges on the entrepreneurial journey, Guobadia and Chukuka offer us hope that change can happen in Nigeria – one man at a time. We have what it takes.
