Emmanuel Adebayor
SEA, here is another part of the story I have kept inside since. Today I feel the constant need to let it out. If I share my stories, it is because I believe every story comes with a lesson. And the lesson is for anyone that is reading this. This is about a brother who keeps saying today that I am not a good support for our family. His name is Rotimi Adebayor. At the age of 13, he did something very bad. He and I know what he did. Because of that our parents had to send him to a village far from the big city. When I started to be successful in football and I went to Togo for vacation; at that time one of my mother’s friend came from the village to visit us. As she explained how Rotimi was suffering in the village, I immediately asked them to bring him back into the city. As soon as he came back, I made sure I put him in school. For me that is normal.

In 2002, I went to play the AFCON in Mali and I had the huge privilege to swap my shirt with Marc-Vivien Foé. May his soul rest in peace. When I got back to Togo, I put that shirt in a secure place. My brother found a way to steal that shirt and sold it.

When I moved from Metz to Monaco, we reached an advanced stage in the Champions League and we played against Real Madrid. It was one of most beautiful day of my life because I was lucky enough to get a signed shirt from the football legend Zinedine Zidane. As I brought that shirt back to Togo, my brother still found a way to steal that shirt and sold it.

When I was in Metz, I was earning about €15,000 a month. I wanted to get something unique for my mom to thank her for all she did for me. I wanted to make her happy. So I decided to take an amount worth 3 months of my wages and I bought her a Cartier neckless for about €45,000. Rotimi and his friends Akim(@Yam Freedom) and Tao (@Sao Tao Oyawole) made a plan and stole that precious neckless. They sold it for about €800. When my mom and I found out, my mother asked me not to bother because he is the younger brother. Despite the situation, I would like to take this same occasion to wish all the mothers out there a Happy Mother’s Day!

In my house, I have a storage room where I keep some of my belongings when I travel back to Europe. I am the only one with that key but my brother managed to get a master key that was able to open every single door in the house. He frequently stole drinks and other items from that room.

After all this we kept saying “blood is thicker than water” and we moved on. Therefore, I decided to take him where I started my football in France. I brought him to a great football academy in France. You already know how this story ended. He stole cellphones from many of his teammates and they sacked him from the football academy. By the way, after I published the first story about him, he called me to say that he did not steal exactly 21 phones. He claimed that the number was lower than that. Still...Is that acceptable? He also added that I should be happy that he stole drinks and other items from my storage room. I asked him why and he replied: "Because I am your brother".

Jacques Songo’o who is now a retired Cameroonian footballer also had his son in the academy and he was a good friend of Rotimi. Let me add that he was part of my development as a footballer and he always gave me good advices. I was in Togo on my days off when Songo’ocalled me; he sounded very angry. He explained to me how my brother stole his son’s PSP. When I asked my brother why he did that, he argued that he forgot it in his bag. How can you forget someone else’s device in your bag and travel with it from France to Togo? Since that day, my relationship with Songo'o changed and he has become pretty distant with me and my family.

I was still in Monaco when I decided to collect all football boots from my teammates so I could give them to people in Africa. I had a huge bag full of shoes. I brought that bag to Togo. A few days after when I decided to give the boots out to the people in need, I noticed the bag full of boots disappeared. Later on, I found out that my brother was the one who stole the bag and went to sell the shoes in Hedzranawoé (famous public market in Togo).

One day, my mom called me early in the morning when I was still in bed. She told me that Rotimi has gotten a Visa to go to Dubai so he can play football out there. He had to leave that day with his friend Kodjovi (@Denilson de Souza) who was in the same situation. It was either they went that day or the Visa would be suspended. I asked one of my guys at the time (@Agui Mozino) to go find tickets for my brother and his friend. We could not find any economy class ticket on that day so I had to get them both first class tickets. After all, it was an opportunity for him to make his own career in Dubai. Only 4days later, Rotimi went back home. He explained how the lifestyle in Dubai was not made for him. He said he wasn’t free to do what he wanted to do because it is a strictly Muslim place. He couldn't drink, party as much as he wanted or kiss girls in public.

The part 3 is coming out soon and it will be about the man that calls himself the father of the family @Kola Adebayor A.K.A Lion of Judah.

Peoples comment

Enough already, why is he selling his family in public like this?

That been said, that his bros need serious deliverance, what kind of Kleptomaniac is that.

this doesnt seem right at all. all i see is a family gradually breaking apart. i mean to dedicate episodes for each of ur family? its not right @ all no matter how much dey may have hurt him.

Seyi adebayo is making sense here cause it was d family dat brought him out in d first place to ruin his stardom

If I am a star like Emmannuel Adebayor , I CAN never expose my family the way Adebayor is doing.

We have families faced with daunting challenges and yet they are able to manage the situation. If Adebayor feels his family is worse, I hope he would be privileged enough to read about other families whose challenges are like earthquake that has consumed them.

Enough of exposing yourself to the world that are only happy you are sad. Thank God you are Yoruba and you should still understand the saying that 'enito ba ta ara ile e lopo, ko le ri ra lowon.

The brother is a kleptomaniac. He needs to stop.

Lordy lord

This one strong ooo

Bring it on bro your life your family

Adebayor I no knw
Rotimi I no know
Football I no knw

Mr man stop washing or dirty boxers on social media

this family issue ehen MAY GOD BE WITH THE ADEBAYORs

Hmm, adebayour you can vex o! Lol
Buh seriously dah your bro needs deliverance session asap

Sometimes in an African family,its a crime to be rich.

Adebayor has turned his family issue to film, he asked us to wait on the part 3. Rotimi is an ogboju ole and ole, if everything Adebayor said was true.

it seems adebayor is fed up with his family issues...

vheMa:
Adebayor I no knw
Rotimi I no know
Football I no knw

But Telemundo you know....

Seyi shouldn't be condemned, we all humans and we have the limits we could take shits upto before exploding. Come to think of it, after all he had done trying to make things work out his family took the whole drama to the public first and he decided to finish them there also. But for real that Rotimi guy should be from shina rambo's family or Anini

Rotimi the 21 phone mover

That im brother na confirm klepto. Adebayo is hot. This whole story is a lamentation of a crying heart who feels disappointed where he ought to find solace. He needs to let things out, one way or the other he'll surely feel better.

But then we can't always judge from listening to just one party.

Let him spill everything out, might have a little peace. Family can be pretty annoying sometimes

O ga oooo, Emmanuel e don do abeg. U are free to cut off from them.

Rotimi is a professional arm robber,not a footballer...

[size=20pt]life is thicker than water ko,life is thicker than water ni....Life is too short for someone to pull me down & cause me headache,only a warning of 3 times would make me give up on anybody that doesn't wanna help him or herself.[/size]

Family feud

This dude is such a public f00l....why can't he keep this 5hit private? I mean, if he needs an outlet to vent, why can't he find a close family or friend to vent to?? No common sense!!!

They said ... Adebayor is an ingrate.

He defends himself with facts telling why he doesn't have a good relationship with his family.

They say ... Adebayor is exposing his family secret.
