Top Story: Ismail Sogbade Publishes “The Set-Piece Strategy” Book for Business Success, Inspired by Arsenal’s Title-Winning Blueprint
Nigerian cybersecurity architect and strategist, Ismail Sogbade has officially launched his debut book, The Set-Piece Strategy: How to Win in Life and Business Using Prepared Moments.
The book, now available on Amazon, positions preparation, structure, and disciplined execution as the foundations of success in both business and life.
Describing the writing process as a “set-piece in itself”, Sogbade said the journey required structure, rehearsal, and persistence through multiple drafts before reaching completion.
“Writing a book is a set piece in itself. It required preparation. Clear structure. Rehearsal. Persistence when the first draft felt like it would never become a final one. And the discipline to keep going when nobody was watching,” he noted on LinkedIn.
He added that the project demanded sustained discipline, particularly during periods when progress was slow and recognition was absent. The book is published on Amazon, with a public link expected to go live in the coming days.

How Talpro Founder Chuma Chukwujama Is Reinventing Enterprise Software Through Cloud and AI in Africa
In the mid-1990s, when most Nigerian businesses still depended on paper files, fax machines and manual processes, Chuma Chukwujama was already betting on a different future, one built on software.
That decision led to the creation of his first company, Allied Technologies, founded in 1996 at the dawn of widespread business digitisation. By 2001, Chukwujama and co-founder Duke Obasi rebranded the business as AlliedSoft.
The company was later restructured into Talpro Software, and the company shifted focus towards custom software development for banks, telecom operators, and large enterprises.
The company has expanded gradually across multiple African markets, including Ghana, Kenya, Tanzania and South Africa.
“When we start seeing African companies becoming significantly more productive because of our software, and that contributes to improving Africa’s economic story, that’s success for me,” he said.
