We all remember the drama between Emmanuel Adebayor and his family some time back. I just watched his recent interview on BBC and felt so sad for him. Sadly, this is the experience of many bread winners in many African countries. The entitlement mentality of family and extended family members is so unrealistic that it puts an extra strain and pressure on those slaving to provide for their families. Many times, lack of not providing or even a delay in providing money causes deep-rooted issues that go on for years. It seems as if all family members care about, especially the extended ones, is the money. They do not care about the labour, time, stress, tears and pain one put in earning that money. The relationship with family and extended family members become somewhat encumbering and non-symbiotic. Sometimes, blood relatives are those that do not wish one well and I truly understand and sympathise with Adebayor.
