  • From losing his dad at age four to surviving the civil war in Biafra, Cosmas Maduka knows a thing or two about overcoming adversity. However, when his reputation of integrity is challenged as a result of a business deal going soar, the consequent chain of events that follows soon leads to what he will describe as his Worst Day in business ever. Cosmas Maduka- Chairman Coscharis Group joins Peace Hyde as he reveals it all.

    I think one of his successful entrepreneurs is due to his believe in Jesus-Christ, his willingness, hardworking, wisely mindset and his spouse too. God blessed him for this inspiring stories and I hope to get the blessings to marry a husband not like him, but have some traits of characters like him 🙏🙏🙏. May Lord God Jesus-Christ gives me the grace, wisely mindset, dedication , and perseverance to achieve the goal and vision he has formed to me amen 🙏🙏🙏. Thanks again for this interview and be blessed Dr. Cosmos Maduka.

    At the end of the war, our fathers was paid 20 pounds by obafemi awolowo and his Nigerian government lead by yakubu gowon, only God saw us through and kept us to tell the story!
    Cosmas I salute you and God bless you.
