Godwin Okri, Barrister, tells African Voice that he is over the moon for signing the contract to present the new Property Show.
After spending over 10 years as a lawyer and as a Property Investment Strategist, Godwin Okri is now moving into TV presenting. Mr Okri, who is CEO of Menvo Limited, a property consultancy, says that he was approached by BEN TV to create a property investment show.
The Okri Property Show (TOPS) was created primarily to educate and create investment awareness to the British public. The show is due to be shown on BEN TV at 6.30pm towards the end on July 2016. There is rumours that other stations such as BBC and ITV are keeping a close eye. Our source tells us that other TV stations have made monetary offer to buy the show.
Speaking to the Press earlier today, Mr Okri said: “As a Property Investment Strategist, I have seen a lot of my clients make money by investing sensibly. The Property market offers great opportunity to make money. However, if an investor fails to invest wisely, there is the danger of repossession or bankruptcy. The Okri Property Show (TOPS) is there to educate investors or First Time Buyers. The Show also seeks to expose the last remaining secret of wealth creation through property investments.”
In May 2009, the Mirror published an article that Mr Okri was living in a detached house with swimming pool. Mr Okri said: “I read the article. It is not true that that my property has a swimming pool. Perhaps the journalist is wishing me well”
Godwin Okri is from a famous family: his brother, Ben Okri won the Booker Prize for Literature and was awarded MBE. Natalie Okri, Godwin’s daughter, was semi finalist of the 2008 Britain has Got Talent competition. Mike Okri is an R & B singer in the USA. Mr Okri said: “I do not let the fact that I am from this family affect my purposing for living. I believe that everyone is equal and should strive for success, with or without a famous surname.”
Godwin’s book ‘Investing in Property with Strategy” was published in July 2015 primarily to show that there is a science to investment. Godwin said: “My book is a unique book in the market. It is the only book in the market linking science with property investment. The book avers that physics should not be the preserve of scientist alone. There are principles in physics, which lends themselves to the property investors. The mystery is that property investment has scientific connection.” “ I am confident that because of my experience in the property market, the viewers of the new show would enjoy the show. It will be stimulating, entertaining and educative.”
