I have kept these stories for a long time, but I think today it is worth sharing some of them with you. 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. Also, keep in mind that none of this is about money.

At the age of 17, with my first wages as a footballer, I built a house for my family and made sure they were safe. As you all know, I received the trophy of African Player of the Year in 2008. I also brought my mother on stage with me to thank her for everything. In that same year, I brought her to London for various medical check ups. When my daughter was born, we contacted my mum to inform her, but she immediately hung up the phone and didn’t want to hear about it.
