Anambra-born billionaire industrialist and renowned philanthropist, Chief Dr. Cletus M. Ibeto, CON, has flown members of his elite inner circle on an all-expenses-paid tour across ten European countries, in what has been described by many as a stunning display of generosity and camaraderie.
The revered Nnewi entrepreneur, popularly known as Omekannaya or Omekadad, sponsored the high-profile vacation for his trusted associates — collectively known as Team Omekadad or Ibeto Boys (IBB) — as a gesture of appreciation for their staunch loyalty, friendship, and shared values.
The travel entourage, which includes traditional rulers, corporate giants, community leaders, and media professionals, took off over the weekend and is expected to visit multiple key cities across Europe during the exclusive tour. This was corroborated by a video recently shared by media guru, Cornel Osigwe, showing members of the travel team in Barcelona.
Notable figures in the entourage include the respected traditional ruler of Uruagu-Nnewi, H.R.H. Obi Afam Obi, Ogidi III; Mrs. Ngozi Ukachukwu, a prominent figure in the state; President General of Uruagu-Nnewi and CEO of Organizer Oil & Gas, Chief Innocent Okoli; Managing Director of Solid Base Impex, Mr. Paul Ileka; a respected associate, Mr. Patrick Ubajaka; the MD of Damax Events, Mr. Cosmas Ngonadi; and the founder of Onye Ije Media, Mazi Ifeanyi Nwosu, among others.
Interestingly, most of the individuals on the trip are themselves men and women of notable means and social standing, capable of independently financing such international vacations. However, in a rare philanthropic gesture, Chief Ibeto chose to personally sponsor the entire travel experience for the team.
The tour, which has been described as both a recreational retreat and a mark of solid brotherhood, showcases Ibeto’s character not only as a successful industrialist but also as a man who deeply values loyalty, relationships, and rewarding consistency.
Chief Ibeto, who hails from Nnewi, is well known across Nigeria and beyond for his outstanding success in the industrial sector and his commitment to uplifting people around him. Through his actions and numerous initiatives, he continues to inspire a new generation of leaders, entrepreneurs, and public servants.
Analysts and observers alike say the billionaire’s latest gesture reflects a culture of gratitude and empowerment, which has been a defining feature of his legacy over the years.
This reporter, Izunna Okafor, gathered that the European vacation by Team Omekadad is expected to last several days, covering cultural, business, and recreational engagements across various countries on the continent.
