Dubai's Strategic Investment Gateway

In a landmark event, Lifecard International Investment Limited has officially launched its operations at the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), signifying a pivotal moment for African investors. Spearheaded by Nigerian entrepreneur Grace Ofure Ibhakhomu, this initiative is set to democratize access to global real estate investments, particularly through the upcoming launch of the PlatinumInvest app.

PlatinumInvest: Revolutionizing Real Estate Investment

Scheduled to go live on August 22, 2025, the PlatinumInvest app promises to transform real estate investment by providing fractional, secure, and borderless access to Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) across multiple continents. As Ibhakhomu stated, “This is more than a business launch, it is a bold statement that Africa is ready to lead in real estate and fintech.”

Golden Visa Opportunities for Qualified Investors

Lifecard’s strategic location in Dubai not only enhances its global operations but also offers qualified investors the opportunity to acquire the coveted UAE golden visas. This benefit is particularly appealing for those seeking long-term residency and financial leverage in the region. “Whether you are based in Lagos, London, or Los Angeles, PlatinumInvest puts global real estate wealth at your fingertips,” Ibhakhomu added.

Lifecard University: Empowering Through Education

Complementing this launch is the expansion of Lifecard University into Dubai. The educational arm of Lifecard Group aims to provide training in real estate, financial literacy, and entrepreneurship development, further equipping investors with the knowledge and skills needed to thrive in the international market.

Impact on African Investment Landscape

The opening of Lifecard’s Dubai office, attended by notable figures such as businessman Obi Cubana and Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen, underscores Africa’s growing influence in global financial and real estate sectors. By bridging the gap between African investors and international markets, Lifecard is setting a precedent for future investment programs and opportunities.
