I have kept these stories for a long time, but I think today it is worth sharing some of them with you. It’s true that family matters should be solved internally and not in public, but I am doing this so that hopefully all families can learn from what happened in mine. Also, keep in mind that none of this is about money. At the age of 17, with my first wages as a footballer, I built a house for my family and made sure they were safe. As you all know, I 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 want to hear about it. Some people said my family and I should consult Prophet TB Joshua. In 2013, I gave my mother money so she could consult him in Nigeria. She was supposed to stay for one week; but two days into her stay, I received a call saying she had left. Apart from all that, l also gave my mother a great amount of money to start a business dealing in cookies and different items. Naturally, I allowed them to put my name and picture on them so they could sell more. What else can a son do in his power to support his family?
A couple of years ago, I bought a house in East Lagon (Ghana) for $1.2 million (Sh108 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 visit the house. To my surprise, I saw many cars in the driveway. In fact, my sister decided to rent out the house without letting me know. She also kicked Daniel out. Note that the house had about 15 rooms. When I called her 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 four 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 was involved in Peter’s death. How? He is the same brother who went and told inaccurate stories about our family to The Sun in order to get 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 as fast as 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 two hours to Togo for nothing? I organised a meeting in 2005 to solve our family issues. When I asked them about their opinions, they said I should build each family member a house and give each of them a monthly wage. Read more at: http://www.sde.co.ke
