Emmanuel Eboue's "RAGS to RICHES to RAGS" story is pathetic. His wife took advantage of his lack of education to skin him off his hard earned wealth. She also has legal custody of their Children. A £ millionaire is now dead broke. Women are dangerous. pic.twitter.com/K4B0diopmh

This Eboue matter. Never marry under oyinbo law. If you want to, have a prenup. Na all this oyinbo law be the problem. Court award this award that. Una dey craze. Come and award my property in Ibadan if Ogun lakaye will not strike you dead.

Eboue trusted HIS WIFE!! HIS WIFE!! HIS WIFE!!! How is he to blame if she broke that trust? How is he at fault for trusting his own wife? Are we listening to ourselves at all?

Eboue said when he makes 8M, he sends 7M home to his wife. He signs whatever she asks him to sign too.
I don't know if it's spiritual attack or Poor Education or first class manipulation. This is just unfortunate.

Where are the African footballers and Eboue's colleagues when he was at Arsenal? Are you guys going to be looking him to die like this? This is the time to know how footballers love each other

This Eboue's story is a sad one. I feel for him.
Someone that reached UCL & AFCON finals. Earned €8m in turkey.
Now his ex-wife won custody of their kids & control of all his assets. He's gone broke, sleeps on the floor of his friend's house & can't afford a washing machine.

After years of running up & down the left wing of the pitch, dribbling, assisting, getting injured… Just to lose EVERYTHING to a woman because of divorce.
This Eboue's story should be a lesson to all.
Be careful who you choose as life Partner..

Emmanuel Eboue story will make African Parents emphasise their children must come back home and marry. Dude worked his ass off all these years, only to lose everything to someone who probably doesn't know how to keep offside.
Typical example of penalty to throw in.— Umeh and 99 others (@UmehOMA) December 24, 2017
When I said this 2 years ago, people came for me, but this Eboue situation is proving me right small small. All the details aren’t clear yet, but nobody deserves to work all his life and have his entire wealth given to someone else because divorce happened. https://t.co/rnisROiuyv

They skinned Emmanuel Eboue alive. I hope he finds his feet again. Marriage can make or mar you. And whatever you do, always seek enlightenment, exposure and education! These cost him big time!

In the light of Eboue’s misfortune, I have been wondering all day if Mikel Obi signed a prenup?

I saw titbits of the Eboue saga. Too busy with family to study the details. All I will say to my young kings here is don’t let satan use your mouth to bring a disastrous woman into your life. Guard your heart & mouth and stop saying you won’t trust your wife. Stupid thing to say

Dear Brothers, be wise and careful. Our brother Emmanuel Eboue has lost his wealth and family to a woman who he trusted with everything. pic.twitter.com/7LyDGfhxrt

Emmanuel Eboue was a loving Husband who trusted his wife with his finances. He earned €8M in Turkey and sent €7M to his wife in England on her instruction. All that is gone now. She obviously orchestrated a well thought plan using legal means. She's wicked and smart. pic.twitter.com/t77blS45rZ

Should a man be blamed for trusting his wife?
