Tottenham player Emmanuel Adebayor writes crushing Facebook post about what happened to his family when he got rich


Emmanuel Adebayor Longtime Premier League striker Emmanuel Adebayor posted an open letter on his Facebook page accusing his family of taking advantage of him and his  Adebayor, 31, who was once one of the highest-paid players in the league at $270,000 per week while at Manchester City,moved to France from Togo when he was 15 years old and has played in Europe ever since. His Facebook post is heartbreaking. He says he gave his mother money for a cookie business and paid for her to spend a week with a famous Nigerian faith healer, but she left after two days. She also hung up on him when he called to tell her about the birth of his daughter, he says. He accuses his sister of kicking his half-brother out of the $1.2 million house in Ghana that he let them stay at, and then renting out the rooms for profit. On his brother Kola, he wrote: My brother Kola Adebayor, has now been in Germany for 25 years. He travelled back home about 4 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 am involved in Peter’s death. How? He is the same brother who went and told inaccurate stories about our family to “The Sun” in other to take some money. They also sent a letter to my Club when I was in Madrid so I could get fired. About why he was writing the letter, Adebayor said, “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.” “I organized a meeting in 2005 to solve our family issues. When I asked them about their opinion, they said I should build each family member a house and give each of them a monthly wage.” It’s a crushing account, and it gives you an idea of the types of pressures players face when they suddenly hit it big.


Prisoners Not Bathed for 8 Weeks

A Zimbabwean court has ended the inhuman treatment of eight prisoners who had endured two months without access to sanitary materials such as bathing soap and tooth paste.
The eight prisoners were detained in solitary confinement at Chikurubi Maximum Prison after they were arrested and charged with attempting to escape from lawful custody and damaging prison property during a mutiny over poor quality of food.
The eight prisoners Blessing Chiduke, Luck Mhungu, Luckmore Matambanadzo, Thomas Chacha, Thulani Chizema, Jacob Sibanda, Taurai Dodzo and Elijah Vumbunu were being denied access to sanitary material such as bathing soap, bathing towels, tooth brush and tooth paste since their arrest in early March and their subsequent incarceration in solitary confinement.
But Harare Magistrate Tendai Mahwe on Monday ordered the Zimbabwe Prison and Correctional Services (ZPCS) to allow the eight detainees access to some amenities such as toothbrush, tooth paste and bathing soap which they had been denied access to for almost two months since their arrest in March.
Magistrate granted the order after the eight detainees’ lawyer David Hofisi of Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights had protested against the violation of his client’s rights.
In granting the order, Magistrate Mahwe also declared that accused persons in custody still enjoy their rights.
In 2013, ZPCS officials disclosed that more than 100 prisoners died of malnutrition and illness in Zimbabwean prisons which have been hit by food and drug shortages owing to lack of adequate financial resources. In 2008, at the height of the southern African country’s worst economic and political crisis, several prisoners died of diseases while other starved to death forcing humanitarian organisations to intervene and save the situation. – Radiovop

Osama Bin Laden Is Still Alive: Kuwaiti Analyst

A senior political analyst says al-Qaeda mastermind Osama bin Laden has not been killed by US forces but he was lonely abducted.
Abdullah al-Nafisi, a university professor in Kuwait, cast his doubt on the death of bin Laden in his latest remarks in al-Marsad News Network.
He said it does not seem logical for US Army to spend a great deal of time and efforts to peruse bin Laden for 11 years and kill his as soon as they hunted him in Pakistan.
He said the main reason behind the abduction of bin Laden is to finalize the approach followed by bin Laden adherents for several years. He said right now we could easily observe that the previously overall integrity among al-Qaeda affiliated groups has been routed out totally.
An Italian lawmaker also said earlier that he doubted U.S. claims that bin Laden was killed in a Navy Seals raid. Controversial Paolo Bernini also said that 9/11 was an ‘inside job.’
Bernini made his remarkable comments during a speech in Italian parliament.
Bernini, who belongs to Italy's Five Star Movement political party, was debating why Italian troops were still fighting alongside American and other western troops in Afghanistan.
U.S. spy agencies discovered bin Laden’s compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan. Seals went in and killed him, although Bernini said, "bin Laden, I don't know, was supposed to have been killed two years ago."
Bernini said: "I would like to remind you that Bush's justification to intervene in Afghanistan was the war against terrorism, with the aim of destroying Al-Qaeda and capturing or killing Osama bin Laden.”
"Al-Qaeda continues to have victims in Syria, alongside the rebels — those which America would like to help,” he added.
