Emmanuel Adebayor has had a difficult season at
Tottenha Footballer m Hotspur, and things seem to be going
just as poorly off the pitch for the striker.
Today, the former-Togolese international took to
his personal Facebook page to release a lengthy
post detailing different issues he has had with his
family.
From his mother turning his back on him to his
brother stealing cell phones at a youth academy
in France, Adebayor outlines multiple times he
tried to support his family only to be seemingly
ostracized by them.
Read below...
A couple years ago, I bought a house in East
Lagon (Ghana) for $1.2 million. I found it normal
to let my older sister, Yabo Adebayor stay in that
house. I also allowed my half brother (Daniel) to
stay in the same house. A few months later, I was
on vacation and decided to go to that house. At
my surprise, I saw many cars in the driveway. In
fact, my sister decided to rent out the house
without me knowing. She also kicked Daniel out
of that house. Note that the house had about 15
rooms. When I called her and asked for
explanation, she took about 30 minutes to abuse
and insult me over the phone. I called my mother
to explain the situation and she did the same as
my sister. This same sister says I am ungrateful.
Ask her about the car she is driving or anything
she is selling today?
My brother Kola Adebayor, has now been in
Germany for 25 years. He travelled back home
about 4 times, at my expense. I fully cover the
cost of his children's education. When I was in
Monaco, he came to me and asked for money to
start a business. Only God knows how much I
gave him. Where is that business today?
When our brother Peter passed away, I sent Kola
a great amount of money so he could fly back
home. He never showed up at the burial. And
today that same brother (Kola) is telling people
that I am involved in Peter's death. How? He is
the same brother who went and told inaccurate
stories about our family to "The Sun" in other to
take some money. They also sent a letter to my
Club when I was in Madrid so I could get fired.
When I was in Monaco I thought it would be good
to have a family of footballers. So I made sure
my brother Rotimi gets into a football academy in
France. Within a few months; out of 27 players,
he stole 21 phones.
I would not say any anything about my brother
Peter Adebayor because he is not here today.
May his soul rest in peace.
My sister Lucia Adebayor keeps telling people that
my dad told me to bring her to Europe. But what
would be the purpose to bring her to Europe ?
Everyone is here for a reason.
I was in Ghana when I received the news about
my brother Peter being seriously ill. I drove the
fastest I could to Togo in order to meet him and
help. When I arrived, my mother said I could not
see him and I should just give the money and she
would solve everything. Only God knows how
much I gave her that day. People are saying I
didn't do anything to save my brother, Peter. Am I
a fool to drive 2 hours to Togo for nothing?
I organized a meeting in 2005 to solve our family
issues. When I asked them about their opinion,
they said I should build each family member a
house and give each of them a monthly wage.
Today I am still alive and they have already
shared all my goods, just in case I die.
For all these reasons, it took very long for me to
set up my foundation in Africa. Every time I try to
help the people in need, they had to question me
and all of them thought it was a bad idea.
If I am writing this, the main purpose is not to
expose my family members. I just want other
African families to learn from this. Thank you.
