@asemota @JasonNjoku @CardinalStoneNG 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 spot on bros....my “self discovery” was the “return” from repatriating & embarking on my entrepreneurial journey. I can see how the story can dissapoint those looking for $$$ returns in the narrative... not my style or my message to readers 🙂

@JasonNjoku @CardinalStoneNG Operating term ”self discovery.”

So I finally finished Risk & Return last weekend. Summary disappointed. Surprisingly for a business book it provided next to no data or numbers about @CardinalStoneNG or the businesses they created. It was very cosmetic. No names. No financial data. A very cosmetic story. 🤷🏾♂️

@OsOsaGuobadia @asemota @JasonNjoku @CardinalStoneNG Oh...and I thank God you finished the book too 🙏🏾...unlike SM...💪🏾
English

@asemota @JasonNjoku @CardinalStoneNG Boom!!! Also remember the book is written by a young man and he is still engaged in our market (in his prime) so he can’t burn himself. Read the book a year ago or so and it was great, it told Yomi’s story and let people know the path, the process and that it’s possible..🔥

This is how I was born. There was a curfew and then Major David Jemibewon escorted my parents to the hospital. I am still grateful and want to meet the old man.

About 3:00 a.m on Friday our officers in Ikoyi came across a man in distress. We accosted him and he told us his wife was in labour at home but he had no means of getting her to the hospital. He got into our vehicle and was rushed down to his home.

@CUcheOnuora @asemota Hi Victor..popsy is alive oh...we thank God... this’ll bring a huge smile to his face & i’m sure he’d be happy to meet & grab a drink 😀 sometime God permitting 🙏🏾

@asemota Big Chief, his son Yomi is on Twitter 👉🏿@jemibewon and wrote this fantastic book some time ago: amazon.com/Risk-Return-jo… I believe the General is alive, at least according to his Wikipedia profile: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Jem…

Thanks to @BodeMakanjuola for sharing @riskandreturnafrica by @jemibewon. Probably the best and most surreal contextual book on entrepreneurship for anyone moving from the west to Africa! I couldn’t put it down! A must read! @cnbcafrica @penresa_mc @ReutersAfrica

Thanks @jemibewon for writing this. Painstakingly putting down the details. The ups and downs, good times and bad times. I am learning a whole lot. There are things I must learn to do if I will succeed in this environment. Will I be faking it to make it?

Reading risk and return by @jemibewon.
Quote: ”Until you're invited to a meeting at the client's home, private club or daughter's wedding, you haven't cracked the code to that relationship ".
What happens to those without networks? The excellence is wasted?
English

@drnnamdiorah In our part of the world where institutions are still forming and are still so fragile, your collaborators can often be more essential to your success than your qualifications or your ‘excellence’. Those without networks need to seek ways to develop or grow their networks

@jemibewon I received your book in the mail last night and I must say it remains one of the best books I have read so far. Great story, great insight. for once one entrepreneur did not say "nah God". Recommended it to my fellow diaspora people.
English

@ngozidozie @jemibewon I thoroughly enjoyed it. Just finished my copy yesterday.
I love the transparency; honest about mistakes, successes and setbacks. Very inspiring tale.
English

Finally about to dive into Risk and Return: A journey of entrepreneurship and self-discovery in Africa by the irrepressible @jemibewon. Get yours on @amazon

Just finished the book - I laughed, I cried, I nodded my head a lot remembering similar experiences. We need more stories like this. Our parents generation has failed to document our history, their path. We should not make the same mistake. Up you @jemibewon
