Episode 22 - Rising from Bean Cakes to BMWs with Cosmas Maduka
Description
How does someone go from selling bean cakes in the streets of Nigeria to building one of the largest companies in the country?
In the case of Dr. Cosmas Maduka, it takes an encouraging mother, a strong wife, and a lifetime of faithful confidence in a God who helps him persevere.
Dr. Maduka is a Nigerian businessman and philanthropist who began his entrepreneurial journey at the age of six, two years after the death of his father. He dropped out of primary school and started hawking Akara, a popular Nigerian food staple to help support his family before joining his uncle’s automotive business as an apprentice.
After years of setbacks and trials, Dr. Maduka founded Coscharis Motors in 1977, a leading distributor of luxury cars in Lagos. Today, that company is part of the larger Coscharis Group, which includes companies in several different industries.
Tune in to hear Dr. Maduka’s inspiring story of heartbreak, challenges, and faithfulness.
