Togo forward, Emmanuel Adebayor who also plays for Tottenham
Hotspurs has claimed that his mother and relatives, are using ‘juju’
(witchcraft) to end his football career prematurely.
Apparently, the footballer has stayed away from his family
including his mother. See below what he said...
“As at now, our mother is selling polythene bags, padlocks
and other things on the (Ghana/Togo) border. Our mother has not seen him for
more than a year and he rejects her calls anytime. Our mother is not calling
him for his money, she just wants to see him because she loves him very much,”
Adebayor’s sister, Maggie told Peace FM.
However, Adebayor, speaking to the same radio station,
insisted that he cut off from his family, because they are plotting evil
against him.
“How can I talk to a mother who together with my sisters
have been plotting juju against me?” he fired back.
It is a sharp contrast to the comments he provided to Daily
Mail in 2009, where he said:
“At the airport my mum said, ‘Go to France and you can
change the way this family lives.’ She knew that if I succeeded in football we
could have a better life and finally get out of poverty. At 15 I wasn’t just
playing for my own glory, I was playing for the sake of my family.
