Being an African, it’s impossible to understand why footballer-Emmanuel Adebayor will lie about the kind of support he gives his family—more also, he is pretty good at giving to even strangers.
The fact remains that, Africans are greedy and when they know you have some money coming through, until they milk you dry, they wouldn’t consider anything you give to them as enough.
Following Adebayor’s recent facebook post in which he stated bitterly how his own family has treated him—taking more and more from him and yet claim he has done nothing for them, his sister-Lucia Adebayor has hit back, claiming the footballer is a goddamn liar.
Commenting on the story on facebook, the sister wrote;
“Keep on lying to the whole world brother… where is the car you got for mum… you took it back… The house you claim you bought for sister are all lies… The phones Rotimi stole are all lies….Money is not everything oooo… we the family don’t even need you again just be on your own so we do the same…de fact you have it today doesn’t guarantee your tomorrow… May God Allah forgive you… you sent your own little nephews packing from your house at 12am….The Alphas and Mallams have done great harm to your life. You need God… Only God can save your soul…@peace”
Emmanuel Adebayor surely has a lot on his hands to deal with—if such people are the family.
In that lengthy post Adebayor posted on his Facebook two days ago, the Tottenham Hotspur forward tears into his entire family. His sisters, his mother, his brothers; the only person spared was his late brother Peter Adebayor.
He talked about the house in East Legon, which he said he bought for his sister Yabo to inhabit, yet she rented out without his knowledge. When he called to enquire, she rained insults on him.
He also recounted how he gave huge sums to his brother Kola to start a business, yet nothing materialised of that. He got another of his brothers Rotimi into a football academy in France, yet all he did was steal the mobile phones of other players.
At a family meeting in 2005, each family member requested for a house and a monthly wage; how indolent. He also said for years they opposed his efforts to establish a charity.
It’s a long rant, detailing how at every stage his attempts to help is met with mismanagement and greed from his family members. (If You Missed It, Click Here to Read It All)
Don’t forget where you come from Emmanuel. All those supporting you are looking after their respective families. Your mother and sisters are the ones who look after you when you are down and out. We are only Africans man
