Emmanuel Adebayor, has described his
elder brother, Kola, as a failure saying that he dashed the family’s
hope of getting liberated through him (Kola) when he travelled to
Germany.
The 31-year-old in a latest post on his
Facebook page on Wednesday fulfilled his promise in an earlier post to
reveal the secrets he had kept about his elder brother.
The Tottenham Hotspur forward had in two
previous posts accused different family members of different crimes
while also accusing his younger brother of stealing his special shirts
and necklace.
In Wednesday’s post, Adebayor explained how Kola and his late brother,
Peter, had fleeced him of his money and how he had contemplated suicide
on many occasions adding that his sister, Iyabo, could bear him witness.
My older brother, Kola, went to Germany
25 years ago, and he became the hope of our family. We all thought he
could change the way we were living. Years after he left Togo, we still
had no electricity and no phones. If he wanted to talk to us, he would
call the Atlantic Hotel that was very close to our house. We would then
run to the hotel reception and talk to him.
“When I got the opportunity to go play
football in France for the first time, we needed money for the flight
tickets and other expenses. My brother was nowhere to be found. Only God
knows what he was doing in Germany.
He wrote, “Another day after training, I was very tired and decided to
take a nap. I woke up and a knife was held to my throat. As I opened my
eyes, my two brothers were there. They were shouting and they claimed
that I was wasting their time. Peter was going mad and Kola was
supporting. I asked them: ‘Is this the only way to solve this issue? If
yes, then kill me and take the money’. It’s only at that moment that he
put the knife down.
