HE is the unseen face at popular
celebrity hangout, O’jez Entertainment, and that is because he
works behind the scene.
Mr. Ifeanyi Clement Odobeatu, C.E.O of
Fantex Ventures and younger brother of the very popular owner of
O’jez Entertainment Group, Chief Joseph Odobeatu, just turned 50
last week, October 14 to be precise and he had every reason to roll
out loud drums in celebration at O’jez restaurant, National
Stadium, Surulere-Lagos.
“It is great to get to 50, in fact, I
feel great being 50,” he told reporters at the event.
Asked if he had any regrets, the
younger Odobeatu quickly answered: “None, no regrets whatsoever. I
have done what most 50 year olds should do, and 50 years is like the
half time in a football match, so what is left is to ensure one wins
the game in the remaining half of life’s race. Nobody knows
tomorrow, only God, so the remaining years He has given us after 50
is for us to consolidate on some of the things we could not do before
we got to 50, make things right in the sight of God and man and that
is all…”
On why he prefers to be out of social
limelight and plays behind the scene at O’jez. “O’jez (Joseph
Odobeatu) is my elder brother, we have been together all our lives
and also in business; from when he started Jonac Electricals to
popular Ejiks Super Market, Jona Engineering and O’jez which has
become a household name after over 17 years, but I prefer to play
behind the scene because my brother is a genius.”
Even playing behind the scene did not
stop him from building his own business empire. “I am the C.E.O of
Fantex Ventures, we are into household gas and accessories business
and by God’s grace; we have carved a niche for ourselves in that
sector.”
