Ex-Arsenal, Real Madrid, Manchester City, and Togolese International, Emmanuel Adebayor, have disclosed why he did not make humanitarian or relief donations during the Corona-virus pandemic.
Considered one of Africa's richest football players with a choice of cars and mansions in Africa and Europe, Adebayor says he will not join his African countrymen like Samuel Eto'o and Didier Drogba to donate money or relief supplies to his home country.
Adebayor, who made as much as £ 175,000 a week while in Man City, says he decides what he wants and will decide to do what he wants because he didn't bring the virus to Africa.
"For those people who say I'm not giving, let me be obvious, I'm not donating. It's very simple, "Adebayor said in a Facebook Live video.
"I do what I want and eat what I want. Later there will be people who will criticize me for not making a give away in Togo as my country.'

He also dissolves rumors that he was the one who brought the disease to Togo after leaving his club in Paraguay.
"Some think I was the one who introduced the virus to Lome," he added. "It is a great pity, but this is the country."
"I'm sorry people compare me to Samuel Eto'o and Didier Drogba by asking me why I don't have a foundation or why I don't donate, as if I was the one who brought the coronavirus to Togo.
" People shouldn't think of me like the others, I am me, Sheyi Emmanuel Adebayor and I will always do what I want. I don't advise the boys about donations. Everything is bright and straightforward. Thanks and have an enjoyable day. ' Just on Thursday, Togo has 88 confirmed cases with six deaths in the country already.
