This is straight up outrageous!!! Even if your mama is a witch wont you still accept her? I will die with my own mother even if she was the real devil! I swear!
It seems somewhat crazy to me that someone of Emmanuel Adebayor’s standing would truly believe that his mom and siblings are plotting ‘juju’ against him, but that’s the drama that unfolded on Peace FM this morning.
Relatives of the Tottenham Hotspur forward, who just yesterday lined up for Togo against his adopted country, called into Peace FM this morning with some pretty wild allegations of neglect against the lanky forward.
They included two of his sisters; Margaret and Lucia Adebayor.
According to the two the Togo captain has neglected them, along with their mother, for the past six years. They have kept it quiet but are now fed up to the extent that they feel that they must tell their story to the public.
“For the past six years Adebayor has rejected his mother and his immediate family whilst doing charity outside on the premise that our mother is a witch.
“We have been thinking of his future as a footballer and did not want this issue out in the media but it is becoming too much.” Margaret, the elder sister, told the Accra based radio station.
Margaret went on to say Adebayor ordered his ‘machomen’ to sack his mom and siblings from his house in Togo, claiming his mom is a witch. She said their mom remains distraught over the issue and Adebayor never picks their calls.
“For the past six years he has abandoned his responsibilities towards the family and does charity work instead. But as far as I know charity begins at home.” She added emphatically.
The Togolese forward was contacted for his side of the story, and he confirmed his issues with his family, as well as his firm belief that they were plotting against him with ‘juju’.
“I never sacked my mom from the house, she decided to leave the house… But how am I going to be in touch with my mum if my mum is the one telling everyone that my work will not go forward?”
“They should stop talking talking, they should stop doing juju on me; they should leave me alone”
“Ask my sister Margaret whether I did not build them a house in East Legon, and what happened to it? I bought my younger sister Lucia a car worth $ 35,000, where is it?”
I am a little bit surprised by this news, as his sister raises a valid point about charity beginning at home. I am even more surprised that Adebayor is certainly convinced that they are plotting ‘juju’ against him, and that is the main reason for his aloofness towards them.
You would think he would be more upset about the extravagance he hinted at in relation to the house and car, but as most Africans he has gone straight to allegations of witchcraft. I don’t think in this day and age that is a valid reason for someone to neglect their mom, particular someone with the resources and fame available to Emmanuel Sheyi Adebayor.
Interesting family drama, reminiscent of Michael Essien’s struggles with his father: what do you think?

Most people on this thread criticizing Adebayor, If I were you I wait until I achieve his status and fame and see if I can do better before I cast any blame on him. From my experience, I know that family could be very funny sometimes; hear Adebayor himself reacting that he had already bought a car worth $35,000 for his sister and where is the car today? I equally believe he must have done more for them that he has not mentioned and the way the sister talked on the radio, she talked as if nobody in the family ever benefitted from Adebayor's wealth. Most of them are ingrate and they should stop washing the dirty linen of their family in the public. I know quite sure that Adebayor must have done all he could for the family but they are just not satisfied (Most of you living abroad can testify to it). Mothers especially African mothers are very possessive of their children especially if that child is a man or a son. I will not be surprised if Adebayor's mum is the same, they can be very manipulative and very controlling having the mind that "this is my son and he must do what I want at all cost." When things like this happen, it is the wife that suffer most time. Most men need to quit being Mum's boy and stand for what is right, they should support their wife and prevent the family from making their life and that of their wives miserable. In as much as I don't support Adebayor calling his mum a witch or getting estranged with her, I will stress that he continue to try his best only for his family and he should avoid all control and manipulation from the family as well. If he has done his best he should leave the rest to God and the family must realize that God gave him the wealth to help other people too and that is why he is engaged in charity. Everybody should please and please and please stop criticizing Adebayor because you do not know the true story.
