Forbes Africa TV Ep9: Cosmas Maduka reveals how his reputation of integrity was once challenged

[@adegokeoluwaferanmi1776]

I'm happy to see a true wealthy believer that is unashamed of acknowledging Jesus as authority publicly.

[@elizabethjulianah]

An African icon. He should be teaching part time in Lagos Business school or any other Business school

[@slyviondavrak8725]

I love how he talks during interviews. He's not your typical CEO grammatically. He's very original. Love it!

[@gerym7782]

thank you for this wonderful programme with Dr Maduka , what a beautiful thing to see a rich Christian who is not ashamed to wear the pin of Jesus is Lord on his suit. very soon Forbes will also do a similar programme on me in the name of Jesus.

It's good to be good, no normal human that listened to Mazi Maduka that'll not have one thing or the other to learn from his experiences, no wonder his a great man, May God gives him long life to enjoy his handwork. for you peace may God bless you,

[@Morris-j5p]

My respect for this godly Christian entrepreneur is profound. How I wish I have opportunity to learn and work under is business mentorship !!!

[@AlexanderMax01]

You don't need to work under him to become successful like him. All you need to do it imbibe his teachings in most of your dealings that way you're close to your success journey.

[@michaelnwobu5879]

The realest interview from the a real entrepreneur who did really grow his business with no govt help unlike the others.

[@sunnypepple6571]

I completely agree with you

Good to know that he is a very strong believer of Jesus. He has canceled the believe that you must dirty your hands before you can be rich. Also am happy that he is mentoring youths. God bless you and yours Sir.
