yorTottenham’s striker, Emmanuel Adebayor, has publicly lashed out at his family, accusing them of turning their backs on him. He revealed how they rented out his property without his permission and how his brother Rotimi, stole mobile phones in France.
The Togo captain on Tuesday, put on a long Facebook post talking about supporting his family and advised other families to “learn from what happened in mine”, adding “keep in mind that none of this is about money”.
Adebayor also claims he was prevented from seeing his brother, Peter, who is now late.
“I was in Ghana when I received the news about my brother Peter being seriously ill,” he wrote. “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.
“I organised 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.”
The former Arsenal and Monaco player, also spoke about his brother stealing at a football academy.
“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.”
He also explained how his sister rented out a house he purchased in Ghana, without informing him about it.
“A couple years ago, I bought a house in East Lagon (Ghana) for $1.2 million,” Adebayor said.
“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.
“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.”
Finally, Adebayor also insisted his mother has turned her back on him, despite using his face to promote her business.
“At the age of 17, with my first wages as a footballer, I built a house for my family and made sure they are safe,” he wrote.
“As you all know, I have received the trophy of African Player of the Year in 2008. I also brought my mother on stage with me to thank her for everything. In that same year, I brought her to London for various medical check ups. When my daughter was born, we contacted my mum to inform her but she immediately hung up the phone and didn’t wanna hear about it.
“Apart from all that, l also gave my mother a great amount of money to start a business of cookies and different items. Naturally, I allowed them to put my name and picture on them so they can sell more. What else can a son do in his power to support his family?”
