Business magnate Cosmas Maduka has responded to recent criticisms from social commentators, including Chief Priest, saying his journey and accomplishments speak for themselves and urging detractors to respect his legacy.
In a series of statements shared on social media and through close associates, Maduka — founder of Coscharis Group — addressed remarks made by high-profile figures who had questioned aspects of his personal and business life.
“I have paid my dues, I have worked hard, and my achievements are not accidental,” Maduka said in a post that garnered widespread attention online.
“Success is not defined by noise or comparison, but by consistency and resilience.”
He specifically referenced comments attributed to socialites and influencers who purportedly sought to undermine his reputation, asserting that such critiques were unfounded. “People can talk, but facts remain,” he said, adding: “My story is a testament to perseverance and determination.”
Maduka also spoke about his early challenges, noting that his path to business prominence was neither smooth nor guaranteed. “I started with nothing but a vision and a strong desire to create value,” he said. “That journey continues to define me.”
The business leader’s remarks appear aimed at consolidating support among his followers and stakeholders, many of whom have rallied online against perceived unfair criticism. Supporters lauded his bold response, saying it underscored his established position in Nigeria’s commercial landscape.
Chief Priest, a prominent social figure who had weighed in on the broader conversation around wealth and achievement, was indirectly referenced in Maduka’s response. Maduka did not name individuals in his statement but alluded to “voices more interested in attention than truth.”
