In an astonishing response that’s rocking social media today, prominent Nigerian industrialist Cosmas Maduka fired back at nightlife mogul Cubana Chief Priest, boasting that he has personally mentored 67 billionaires — and accusing his critic of spreading “empty noise.”
Clash of Titans
Maduka’s bold comeback comes after Chief Priest made comments seemingly comparing Maduka with some of Nigeria’s wealthiest figures, triggering a fiery reply that’s now trending. In a viral video, Maduka didn’t hold back, stressing that his rise from humble beginnings to global business stages speaks louder than talk.
From Street Kid to Boardroom Power
In his address, Maduka vividly recounted his journey from “ground zero” with only a third‑grade education to serving on the boards of two publicly quoted banks and chairing a major credit committee — achievements he says prove depth, not empty bravado. He also highlighted that he has done business across five continents and even been invited by the United Nations Industrial Development Organisation in Vienna — a testament to his real, hard‑fought influence.
The Billionaire Mentor
But it was his next claim that truly rocked the internet: Maduka revealed that back in 2011 he set himself a **lofty goal — to mentor 1,000 billionaires — and so far, 67 of his mentees have already reached billionaire status.
“I don’t compare myself with the likes of Femi Otedola or Aliko Dangote — they had early advantages many of us didn’t,” Maduka said, adding that measuring success isn’t about noise, but real, measurable impact.
Social Media Gone Wild
The reaction online has been explosive — with some praising Maduka for his humility and grit, while others see the billionaire’s claims as a cover‑up of deeper rivalry. Regardless, the debate has ignited countless memes, praise posts, and hot takes across Nigerian Twitter and Instagram.
A New Chapter in Celebrity Feuds?
From the boardroom to the club scene, the showdown between Maduka and Cubana Chief Priest has become more than a personal spat — it’s a national conversation on success, legacy, and what it really means to be influential in modern Nigeria.
