Seems to be the same problem as this previous post

How to use @FindBy annotation in Selenium WebDriver

Take a look about the @findby and @beforeclass execution order.

Make the following change:

Replace IbiboHomePage home = PageFactory.initElements(driver, com.Nalini.Ibibo.IbiboHomePage.class);

with IbiboHomePage home = PageFactory.initElements(driver, IbiboHomePage.class);

You can remove static from static WebDriver driver; in public class IbiboTest
In public class IbiboHomePage declare the instance of WebDriver as :

WebDriver driver;

From the constructor public IbiboHomePage(WebDriver driver) remove the line PageFactory.initElements(driver, this);

Execute the code and update me the status.
