Cosmas Maduka Covers Forbes Magazine by Ofodirinwa: 12:12am On Dec 10, 2015


Cosmas Maduka started Coscharis from scratch and built it into a conglomerate.

His success story is quite an inspiring one and as he graces the cover of the November 2015 issue of Forbes Africa, we get to take a look into his world.

For the magazine he is dubbed ‘The $500-Million Survivor’.

His feature outlines his success story – Seven years without pay, showering in the street, scrapping with his brother, fired by his uncle, fired at by his wife’s uncle and more. Cosmas Maduka shares how he survived war, tragedy and family fights to turn $1 into $500 million.

It has been rocky road for Cosmas Maduka, who started out fixing cars and now makes millions selling them.

Igbos that are billionaires today,
never worked for the government.
Never stole from the government
Never ex convict.
Never had oil block.
Never ruled nigeria.
They all struggled.
They worked hard.
Proudly Igbo!

Just drop your praise and keep it moving instead of negating the promise your post held by peppering us with lies and pseudo ignorance.

This is pure individual competency and tenacity without any backing from military/civilian led federal government of Nigeria.

Cosmos maduka a billionaire? Well not according to his kinsman Ifeanyi Uba, who thinks that the Coscharis Group is a pure water business -https://www.nairaland.com/1100866/coscharis-group-pure-water-business

Billionaire in dollars ko, billionaire in Zimbabwean dollars ni, has he been able to pay back the N21 billion he borrowed from access bank on behalf of Ifeanyi Uba?
I am sure cosmas just paid Forbes to launder his badly damaged image after the aftermath of the loan scandal with Ifeanyi Uba and the Stella Oduah Bullet proof BMW scandal.

How this thread, degenerated to ethnic superiority contest and grandstanding is beyond me.
It may interest you tribal warlords to know that he made his money as a detribalised Nigerian and has his business dealings with every Nigerian, no matter their tribe or religion affiliation. No one does business in isolation.
Interestingly, he has other tribes and religion in his employ, purely on merit, and they all contribute to his success in one way or the other.
