How it was founded:
Okada Books was founded by Okechukwu Ofili. He had just written a book, How Stupidity Saved My Life, and he made some money from sales. However, when he went to bookstores redeem the supposed money, he faced a lot of setbacks. Although he was finally able to get the money due him, he realized that there had to be a more transparent method of selling books, and thus Okada Books was formed
