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.

Ifeanyi Uba is a nit wit and a public nuiscance, instead of praising the likes of Maduka and elevating them as role models we elevate miscreants like Uba.

More Madukas less Ubas I say

It's your achievement that matters, not that of your family member, friend or in this case, a fellow random Ibo man who won't even look at you twice.

And do you know his achievement? Why do you people assume that everybody will reaf from the same page with you

Mind you..igbo help themselves more and I am sure of that and we do that steadily


I am from the same place with cosmas ..I know how he has helped people
He started from nnewi then Ghana ..Nigeria is the last frontier


These are role models in Igbo land

Now this is what is called "bad belle".

Either way, naira is going to the shiters.

Anyone with just $4200 is a millionaire.

You should be.worrying about the inflation that is going to hit Nigeria in 2016 instead of drinking Panadol for Coscharis headache.

Oh that's your own point ..and that should be respected and thanks for noting that Yoruba help themselves less

So why are your kinsmen attacking man

I am an anambra man and I will tell you that we Igbo will assist ourselves from business to teaching them the ropes in trades and once you speak Igbo that affinity is there even for non Igbo that speak Igbo

Do you know how many schools ,churches and hospitals that individuals donate in Igbo villages

Do you know how many people that passed through apprenticeship in Igbo land to he settled

If Hausa help themselves much ..I will not see the poverty much in north but I see that whenever I go to north ...so Hausa help is fallacy


What about the Yoruba that will demand money from an apprentice before they teach him ..is that help


I am talking that Igbo help ourselves more especially outside Igbo


Take thus or leave it


Look around and know that Igbo have mastered the principle of group economics

The one they found in ijebu heartlands and soka

But I have noticed this trend among Yoruba youths

They believe that one can't make money without rituals


This is a very mindset ....it makes them lazy and complacent



One even accusede sometime ago of doing rituals ...now I am not even that rich..just an okay guy...I looked at him and laughed

I asked him ..where where you when I was trekking ? When I was paying my dues, where where you when I was hungry ...


So you have to stop this mentality

I read about Cosmos Maduka's grass to grace story many years ago and it's a story that should be heard worldwide. What his story shows is whether you come from a poor background or wealthy background "your destiny is in your hands", not in the hands of your family background.

But were indicted for selling bulletproof cars to another igbo aviation minister over the market price

That's the law of demand and supply.
So he has no case to answer consigning the purchase and selling of the bulletproof BMW to the former aviation minister.

That is why Ifeanyi Uba knows more about Maduka's worth than you.

I am not comparing who is richer between Uba and Cosmas, What i can compare is who is more indebted. Both are indebted to banks to the tune of billions of naira.

Cosmos borrowed N21 billion from access bank to finance oil importation business with Ifeanyi Uba. Till today, i am not aware the loan has been liquidated. Cosmas and Uba had evaded the hammer because the last government was protecting them. If this government should start re-investigating the un-ethical loan deal and the phantom BMWs Cosmas was involved with, IPOB youths will start shouting witch hunt. Even the last administration was not able to exonerate Cosmas and Uba inspite of numerous investigations carried out by the senate, EFCC and investigative panel.

Cosmas main business is sales agent to some international auto brands, the main one being BMW. He gets the cars (on credit) and gets commission on sales. There is no way he can be a billionaire in dollars on sale commissions, unless you say it is his pure water business that brings in billions of dollars.

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.

Most these Nigerian billionaires are just celebrity billionaires or media billionaires, examples are Jimoh Ibrahim, Cosmas Maduka, Ifeanyi Uba, Otedola. The real billionaires do not make noise. If the NDIC should publish the degree of indebtedness of these so called billionaires, you will be shocked. The live on borrowed money.
