Made his first millions through his girlfriend Stella Oduah
It pains me to the bones whenever I read bigoted statements like this from an obviously illiterate slowpoke. It is sad that education is wasted on people like you. Coscharis was already a household name even before Obasanjo came into government in 1999. He supplied over 1000BMW cars that was used for the COJA Allafrican games in 2003 during OBJ's 1st tenure. Oduah was just at the teething stage of her political career then and you are here talking rubbish. No go find money, sit down dia dey talk nonsense.

Dr. Cosmas Maduka is the founder/CEO of ‘Coscharis group’, a company which has a presence in Beverage industry, Automobile industry, Agro-allied services and much more.

As a young child who lost his father at the age 4, he never stooped so low to what life can offer. His humble beginning and success story has inspired a lot of young people and has taught them that there is no limit to what we can achieve.

Narrating his entrepreneurial journey during an interview with the Vanguard newspaper, he shared some business tips that have gotten him to where he is now.

START SMALL

In 1977, after serving his uncle as an apprentice, he was settled with two hundred naira which is equivalent to $1 as at 2014/2015. Meanwhile, with the current exchange rate of the dollar to naira been 360, it’s not even up to $1 in today’s economy.

He went on to found his first company ‘’MADUKA BROTHERS as a sole trader, a company that deals with importing motorcycle and its spare parts, after which he moved on to partner with his bosom friend,(Mr. David Nwosu) to startup a new company that deals on the importation of car parts. Shortly after the company was dissolved, he went on to starting Coscharis motors and the rest is history. According to Forbes Magazine, Coscharis group is said to worth five hundred million dollars.

STICK TO YOUR DREAM:
Truly, energy focused on one direction produces a maximum result when compared to energy focused on multiple directions.

As he always says, “my dream is to build an institution that is capable of competing with big companies like Leventis motors and UAC”. Today, we could see how far he has gone with that dream.

NURTURE YOUR PROFIT:

When he finally started seeing the dividend of his hard work, he didn’t spend it on luxury. Even though he had the money to buy up to 20BMW cars, he never did that. Rather, he sticks to his old 504 model of Peugeot in order to nurture his profit.

GO EXTRA-MILE TO MAKE WORK:
Being someone who only had a 3rd-grade education, he grew his business to the point of a plateau, in order to get to the next level; he hired a professional manager to make it work. However, he still went on to attend a program at Harvard University.

DO NOT HIRE LIKELY MINDS:
“At Coscharis, we do not think alike, because if we do, nobody is thinking”. Those were his words during an interview session with a journalist.

MAKE GENUINE COMMITMENT:
“Anything worth doing is worth doing well” Your level of commitment towards your goal determines how successful it will be. He said,” At age 14, I made a commitment to serve God, this decision shaped my life”.

BE ACCOUNTABLE:
“Beware of little expenses, a small hole can sink a big ship –Thomas Jefferson”, Cosmas claims that ever since he heard the above-written quote of Thomas Jefferson, it has helped him build the right foundation for money.

Yes thats how its supposed to be and there many great men like him in Nigeria but the youths don't know them because they almost never flaunt their wealth and the Nigerian media rarely talk about them.On the other hand, yahoo boys and polithiefcians are flaunting their wealth.Thus the average Nigerian youth thinks the only way to be really rich is yahoo and polithieving.

Misleading article. N200 in 1977 was not equivalent to a dollar, it was worth way more than that.

The power of a simple dollar,
Millionaires have healthy respect for money thats why they manage to remain that way.
If you dont respect money,you cant have it,having money is one thing retaining it is where the task lies.The lure of the zeros is simply too great!
