juicy, y'all need to read it. Former African Footballer
of Year, Togolese footballer Emmanuel Adebayor has been
having a running battle with his family for years. His sister
has gone to the media a few times to claim he doesn't take
of them and has turned his back on them, plus other
accusations. She even claimed that Emmanuel kicked their
mother (above) out of his house in November 2014.
The Tottemham striker took to Facebook yesterday to give
a lengthy insight into his complicated personal life. He
listed the things he's done for his family and basically
accused them of using him for his money, stealing from him
and being ungrateful. Read it after the cut...
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.
