Sources have indicated that the international model, global peace ambassador through fashion, Publisher of Hopez Magazine and founder of  African Fashion for Peace,  Hope Chioma Offor, better known as HOPEZ, is in high spirits these days. She is apparently in negotiations with a very well known international brand, which seeks to bring “the best of Africa to the world”!

 

It is also being whispered that the model recently made a move to partner with a big player in the nation’s real estate market, giving her an avenue to join the investors in the multimillion-dollar investment cadre.

 

These negotiations are being handled by the high brow Lagos legal firm and Entertainment / Sports law specialists, Arthur Nylander’s Chambers, who has been contracted to handle all legal matters relating to the HOPEZ brand.

 

Attempts to reach out to Leslie Olutayo Nylander SAN the Managing partner of the firm/consortium proved abortive.  However, contact was made with Ladipo Johnson Esq. another member of the law firm/consortium who has been spotted at various occasions with Hopez in recent times.

 

Johnson confirmed the relationship but made it clear that the details of the new relationship with International partners were still being ironed out, but are confidential in nature.
