According to the ex-defender, contrary to widespread reports that he is broke after a bitter divorce with his ex-wife, he is rather living comfortably.
Speaking in an interview with Kofi Mensah on Empire FM Sportsâs World, he said though he lost some properties in the divorce, it didnât get him broke.
When they said Emmanuel Eboue lost everything; itâs not nice to say that. Because I had a divorce and they said my wife won [the divorce case]. So they gave her all my properties, my two houses, and the cars that I have in England.
âI wasnât worried about it because I expected that she was going to use it to take of my children. So after that, I left and returned back to Africaâ.
Emmanuel Eboue
He continued: âI have my own properties in Africa and so I live with that. So when I hear people say Emmanuel Eboue lost everything, I laugh. I have properties in Ghana, I have properties in my home country (Ivory Coast).
âSo I live very comfortably and I thank God. So when people keep talking and say Emmanuel Eboue doesnât have anything, he canât eat, doesnât have a place to stay, itâs not true.â.
