Range Developments a leading investment and hospitality company, operating across the Eastern Caribbean, has revealed that it’s now helping Nigerians obtain second citizenship and US residency legally and hassle-free through government-approved citizenship by investment (CIP) programmes.

 

The Caribbean ultra-luxury resort developer said that this became necessary against the backdrop of the global effects of COVID-19 pandemic, which has necessitated the need for expanded economic opportunities and access to more stable markets.

 

The company in a statement released on Tuesday stated that this has fueled global demand for second citizenship.

According to the statement, “High net worth individuals, and their families, investing in the Caribbean country of Grenada can enjoy second citizenship under which they qualify for the E-2 visa that allows foreign investors to reside in the United States.

 

“This is in addition to a wide host of visa free travel benefits to 140 countries including the United Kingdom, Schengen Countries, Russia, China and many more.

 

“It is for this reason the Grenada passport is considered one of the most powerful in the world”.

 

Mohammed Asaria, managing director and board member of Range Developments, said “Citizenship of Grenada provides global mobility coupled with the opportunity to access and migrate to the US, the world’s largest economy, in a very expeditious, cost effective manner, in addition to providing the insurance of a second citizenship in times of stress,”

 

This Projects by Range Developments have attracted over 1,800 600 investors and helped more than 4,000 individuals gain second citizenship so far.

 

Range Developments, according to the statement is the only company that has a track record of delivery in the Citizenship by Investment sector with multiple completed projects.

 

“Highly sought-after Grenada is one of 80 countries, but the only Caribbean nation with a viable Citizenship by Investment Program, whose passport holders can apply for the United States E-2 visa because of a Treaty of Trade and Commerce between both countries that have been standing for over three to four decades now.

 

“Grenada is a popular E-2 treaty country due to quick efficient E-2 visa processing times of less than two months, and a much more affordable minimum investment compared to other treaty countries and visa types.

 

“The island country also has one of the most powerful passports in the world, giving holders visa-free travel benefits to over 130 countries including the United Kingdom and Crown dependencies, Bulgaria, China and Germany.

 

“By investing US$220,000 (through a limited partnership structure) plus associated government fees in a state-Government approved real estate project like Range Developments’ Six Senses La Sagesse Grenada Project, dual citizenship is conferred on investors and their families which then allows them to make the minimuman investment (suggested minimum amount is USD150,000) required in the US in exchange for residency.

 

“For dual citizenship in Grenada, the government has approved Six Senses La Sagesse by Range Developments as one of the real estate projects under the CIP.

 

“Six Senses La Sagesse will feature one hundred luxury rooms & suites, two luxury 5-star resorts, oceanfront villas, spas, shops and watersports’ facilities” the statement reads.

 

According to Range Developments, the project is expected to be completed by 2022 and will be an integral part of the La Sagesse Master Development. Six Senses is considered one of the world’s leading luxury hotel brands and is part of the Intercontinental Hotel Group.

 

Six Senses La Sagesse is planned to be an incomparable development on a prime-location; a beach named by The Sunday Times and The Telegraph as one of the best in the Caribbean. The project is just 15 minutes’ drive from Grenada’s airport.

 

Range Developments is also the developer of the globally acclaimed Park Hyatt St Kitts and Kempinksi Dominica, properties that have been featured in international media including Forbes, Wall Street and New York Times.

 

Park Hyatt St. Kitts is a luxury 5-star resort with 126 rooms and suites surrounded by world-class amenities including a super yacht marina.

The resort was completed under Citizenship by Investment Programme in the Caribbean and opened to guests in 2017. CNN named the resort as the best new Caribbean Hotel in 2017

 

The Cabrits Resort & Spa Kempinski is the first government-approved real estate project in Dominica under the country’s Citizenship by Investment Programme.

 

The hideaway resort was opened in October 2019.  The Telegraph gave the resort one of its highest ratings. .

 

“An investment in Six Senses La Sagesse, Grenada is a chance to share in a winning partnership,” said Range Developments, acclaimed as the most successful developer of luxury real estate projects in the Caribbean.

EFCC Arik Case: Witness Testifies on Receiver Manager Nominee’s Role in NG Eagle Shareholding

Published

The 4th prosecution witness in the ongoing trial of former AMCON Managing Director, Ahmed Kuru, on Monday continued to give the Special Offences Court in Ikeja, Lagos, ‘fresh insight’ into how the structure and equity of NG Eagle Airlines was set up.
EFCC Arik Case: Witness Testifies on Receiver Manager Nominee’s Role in NG Eagle Shareholding

EFCC Arik

In his testimony, Kaltungo testified that this arrangement entails the Receiver Manager’s nominee having a shareholding arrangement of NG Eagle of “one unit within a billion-share structure,” as part of the findings that emerged during the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission’s investigation.
The development surfaced as EFCC Investigative Officer, Bawa Usman Kaltungo, continued his examination-in-chief led by prosecution counsel, Dr. Wahab Shittu, SAN. Kaltungo told the court that the financial trail uncovered by investigators showed how funds allegedly belonging to Arik Air Limited were unaccounted for while NG Eagle was being established.
Kaltungo also, in the course of his testimony, sought to mislead the Court to believe that the 1st Defendant sold NG Eagle shares solely and unilaterally as a Receiver holding majority shares in NG Eagle, when in fact he is just a nominee with a single unit of share, as AMCON, the corporation that appointed him, holds majority shares in NG Eagle.
Even though his testimonies were made with the support of a few documents admitted in evidence, Kaltungo still was not able to establish a nexus of any act of omission on the part of the accused persons to establish fraud or crime in the management of Arik’s loan.
Kuru is standing trial alongside Kamilu Alaba Omokide, Captain Roy Ilegbodu, Union Bank Plc, and Super Bravo Limited before Justice Mojisola Dada. According to the witness, the statement of Arik’s former Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Jonathan Sani, detailed how the defendants allegedly moved N4.5 billion from Arik to fund NG Eagle, an airline he said was controlled by the defendants. He further testified that Omokide and Ilegbodu allegedly worked with Kuru to funnel a total of N4.9 billion from Arik’s coffers to manage and fund operations of the new airline.
Kaltungo added that beyond the cash transfers, Arik staff were also moved to NG Eagle even though the new airline was set up while Kuru was still AMCON MD, and Omokide served as AMCON’s Receiver Manager. He said salary payments and operational expenses for the newly formed NG Eagle were borne by Arik Air Limited.
During proceedings, the court admitted a CTC of an ex parte order, which the prosecution termed as the only document authorizing the appointment of the RM over Arik and marked the same as P17, along with other exhibits—P18, P25, P26, P44, and P45—including. photographs and videos in a flash drive containing footage of alleged vandalised aircraft were played in court, but the Prosecution again failed to establish a nexus as to whether those aircraft indeed belonged to Arik.
Meanwhile, counsel for the second and third defendants applied for the release of their clients’ passports for renewal and medical purposes. Justice Dada granted the requests on the condition that the documents be returned to the court registry no later than January 2, 2026.
The matter was thereafter adjourned to February 25 and 26, 2026, for continuation of the trial and Examination-in-Chief of PW4

Netflix has announced a landmark agreement to acquire Warner Bros. and HBO Max in a transaction valued at $82.7 billion, a move analysts say will reshape the global entertainment industry.

Netflix Seals $82.7bn Deal to Acquire Warner Bros., HBO Max

Netflix

The deal, which includes Warner Bros.’ film and television studios, HBO, HBO Max, and Warner Bros. Games, was unanimously approved by the boards of both companies. Under the terms, Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) shareholders will receive $23.25 in cash and $4.50 in Netflix shares for each WBD share.

Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos described the acquisition as “a defining moment” for the streaming giant, noting that the company intends to maintain Warner Bros.’ current operations while expanding its production capacity.

“By combining Warner Bros.’ incredible library of shows and movies with Netflix’s culture-defining titles, we can give audiences more of what they love and help define the next century of storytelling,” Sarandos said.

The transaction is expected to close within 12 to 18 months, following the planned spin-off of WBD’s TV networks division, Discovery Global, in 2026. Netflix projects annual cost savings of $2–3 billion by the third year after completion and expects the deal to be accretive to earnings per share by year two.

Industry groups, including the Directors Guild of America and Cinema United, have raised concerns about the impact on movie theaters, while regulators are expected to scrutinize the deal over antitrust issues. Netflix has pledged to continue supporting theatrical releases, with Warner Bros.’ cinema commitments running through 2029.

Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav hailed the agreement, saying it “combines two of the greatest storytelling companies in the world to bring to even more people the entertainment they love.”

Observers note that the acquisition comes 15 years after former Time Warner chief Jeff Bewkes dismissed Netflix as “the Albanian army,” underscoring the dramatic shift in the entertainment landscape.
