EP 5 PT 1: HOW NGOZI OKONJO IWEALA TERMINATED MY BUSINESS DEAL

[@cherishking3521]

In my lifetime I strongly desire to be mentored by this man, God bless and keep you dr cosmos

[@Ikedaniel]

Obasanjo Obasanjo Obasanjo Na great leader you be till date

[@chinwemaduka2430]

Experience Cannot be bought in the market. That's why Coscharis is the master.

[@AkinBunmiSmart]

This is another proof that Obasanjo is a really great leader. His was clearly committed to make Nigeria better and he demonstrated that by assembling the best heads and giving them room to operate

[@bendike]

Best ever

[@joseclark9776]

Wonderful interview. Very soul lifting advice

[@kanmioyenuga1708]

Coscharis, I respect your business acumen. May God continue to preserve you.

What a great interview!

[@alfredekong7015]

This great interview will NOT TREND for obvious reasons

[@oceinitiative5078]

I love and respect the two Business Minded Giants!!!!!!!! Ngozi Okonjo Iweala and Dr Comos Maduka... The Minister of Finance was right and negotiating for insurance indemnifies the Government and Coscharis Company as well against the fear of the unknown and loss....at the end it is all; it became a win win for the company and the government even with the insurance company because the government giving a guarantee without a concrete assurance especially on a commodity that they have no real use for is reckless and a responsible government is not run like that. I salute them both!

[@tosin8401]

Kudos to Okonjo Iweala! She did the right thing for Nigeria. The government would have lost untold amounts of money if that original deal had gone through

[@prosperbwealth]

Please explain your comment Ser. I'd like to learn more.

[@tosin8401]

@@prosperbwealth The original deal that Maduka had with Obasanjo was for Coascharis to bring in the cars (over 100 of them), and then the Nigerian government use them for the games for 3 weeks. After the games, the Nigerian government would then sell the cars and pay Maduka his money. If the Government was unable to sell the cars, they would still have to pay Maduka full price. That is what Ngozi Okonjo Iweala objected to, and rightly so. The Nigerian govt is not a car dealer and would have lost colossus amounts of money on that deal….as government officials would give the cars to their girlfriends or sell it to themselves for 100 Naira. You can argue that that was not Maduka’s problem, and I would agree with you. But from the point of view of the Nigerian government, it was a very risky deal that had a 90% chance of failure.

@@tosin8401 This makes a lot of business sense. Thank you for sharing brother.

​@@tosin8401can a Yoruba or Hausa man do such a thing as you explained? Lesson; only Igbos have the admin integrity to govern Nigeria successfully reason been that Igbos are extremely detribalized unlike the other two major tribes.

[@tosin8401]

@@ekeneokeke8244 😀. Let’s not overly generalize. NOI did great, but that does not mean all Igbo/Yoruba/Hausa would do the same. Also, in my own experience, the most naturally honest people in Nigeria are in the north. Westernized people - such as the Yoruba and Igbo - have a materialism problem…just like the west.

[@samchs222]

This is what people should understand, less government in people's affairs. Government should not be securing loan that's the risk you take as a firm in a capitalist economy

[@juliusworld]

Great Dr. Cosmas Maduka, I am well pleased to hear you speak. I love and respect you.

[@elizabethmacaulay7479]

Vision, faith n Courageous.

[@BeInspiredwithWunmiElebute]

This is awesome

[@chimwike1]

A solid and diligent entrepreneur. A role model indeed.

[@737captain4]

I love this man, a worthy inspiration. God bless you sir

[@RWMonye]

Dr. Iweala made the right decision not to issue such a guarantee. The government didn't need the car after the games and had offered him free duty as an incentive. Look at the outcome: they hit the streets and did what they do best-sell, sell, sell!

[@eromz]

Very insightful interview. Thank you for this

[@edjutoemmanuel6797]

I love this man❤

[@emmanuelayogu4122]

This is when people in Government had the capacity to tell the C-in-C no

[@ejepaul33]

People who put the Country first and a President who was willing to listen to experts...

[@prosperbwealth]

That's why such people are reluctant to serve under the APC-led government.

Is Nigeria not part of Africa?

You can start it 🎉

[@aluskysystems1129]

An Igbo woman rejected to perfect a deal that will favour her brother in the spirit of protecting the Government image, what an Irony.

[@iraneuso]

Perhaps example of doing what was felt to be right in public interest without tribalism or nepotism

[@amajamaotom7011]

And this is where the educated and enlightened igbo man would be good as president of Nigeria. They'll always stick to their gun.

[@andrewemeshie9116]

Proud of Ngozi and Maduka.

[@IdowuObadeyi]

Kudos to her boss (Mr. President) too for not interfering and letting her do her job, coz he could have overridden her

[@niyiojo5194]

​@@amajamaotom7011why are they not displaying such quality as Governors? Is it Fulani that are the governors of Eastern states? What are they doing better than others? A good Presidential material will be good on account of his own values and exposure..NOT because he is an Igboman . Grow up and reason better
