he should ask forgiveness from the people he has wronged and see how God will put him back to his normal position. |

Emmanuel Eboue’s staggering riches-to-rags plight, after an illustrious seven year career in the Premier League, has pushed him to the brink of suicide. Now ex-Arsenal defender Emmanuel Eboue spends his days hiding from bailiffs, sometimes sleeps on the floor of a friend’s home, travels by bus and even cleans his clothes by hand because he has no washing machine. Today, the 34-year-old tells how his staggering riches-to-rags plight has pushed him to the brink of suicide. “I want God to help me,” he says. “Only he can help take these thoughts from my mind.” To listen to Eboue open his heart is as harrowing as it is shocking. Image@ Philip Coburn/Daily Mirror: Eboue business dealings were handled by his wife He wants to talk openly and honestly in a bid to encourage others going through the same ordeal to open up. The Sunday Mirror, through its Time To Change campaign, has been battling for the past six years to smash the stigma associated with the mental ill health with which Eboue is now suffering. At the peak of his career with Arsenal he became a fans’ favourite. He was part of the side that faced Barcelona in the 2006 Champions League final. Arsenal lost but Eboue remains a cult-hero at the Emirates Stadium, as much for his happy demeanour and his goal celebrations as the ability which saw him help the Ivory Coast reach the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations Final. That joy, however, has been replaced by tears – and a deep fear of the future. Eboue, currently unable to play football because of ill-health, says he has been pushed to the brink. He has: Image@ Getty image: Eboue in his Arsenal playing days Lost a bitter divorce battle, with his wife Aurelie awarded all of their assets. Had to hide from cops and bailiffs after being ordered by a judge to transfer his remaining Enfield home to his wife. Faced a heartbreaking estrangement from his three kids, who he has not seen since June. Been grieving after the cancer death of grandfather Amadou Bertin – who raised him – and the loss of his brother N’Dri Serge, killed in a motorbike accident. It is now three weeks since a deadline passed for Eboue to surrender ownership of the North London home he used to share with Aurelie. A judge will sign the transfer if Eboue does not do so. The player and his wife lived there in happier times before Eboue bought a mansion – which Aurelie has now put on the market.He understands she will rent out the Enfield property. So Eboue, his belongings in bags, now awaits the knock that will see him ordered to leave at any time. Image@ Getty image: Emmanuel Eboue with his ex-wife The worried star said: “I can’t afford the money to continue to have any lawyer or barrister. “I am in the house but I am scared. Because I don’t know what time the police will come. “Sometimes I shut off the lights because I don’t want people to know that I am inside. I put everything behind the door. “My own house. I suffered to buy my house but I am now scared. “I am not going to sell my clothes or sell what I have. I will fight until the end because it is not fair.” Eboue has taken a huge fall from the days he netted millions at Arsenal and then more than £1.5million a year at Turkish side Galatasaray. His dream of a Premier League return with Sunderland evaporated last year, however, after he was hit with a 12-month ban by FIFA after a dispute with a former agent. Image@ Getty images: Eboue with his former Arsenal Manager in 2010 Eboue says he was never given guidance to manage his finances. Insisting his wife looked after most of their affairs, he admits being “naive” with money. He also claims he was beset by a string of people who gave bad advice and lost him huge sums. With a limited education, Eboue is paying the price for being unaware of his financial situation. His handful of visits to the bank were with Aurelie. Eboue even recalls an occasion when bank staff visited him – to sign paperwork – at Arsenal’s training ground. And he now wants other young African footballers to learn from his mistakes. He says: “I look back and say ‘Emmanuel, you have been naive… why didn’t you think about that before?’ It is hard. “Very, very hard. The money I earned, I sent it to my wife for our children. “In Turkey I earned eight million euros. I sent seven million back home. Whatever she tells me to sign, I sign. “She is my wife. The problems with FIFA were because of people advising me. People who are supposed to care. But it was because of them FIFA banned me.” Having surrendered the cars among assets transferred to his wife, Eboue now has an Oyster card and relies on London transport – while doing his best to avoid being recognised. He splits his time between the Enfield house and the home of a confidante he calls his “sister” – Yasmin Razak.He often sleeps on a mattress on her living room floor. But even watching TV – and seeing the likes of former team-mate Thierry Henry as a football pundit – triggers negative thoughts. |

Lessons from this story: 1) To marry an oyinbo wife is wrong bcuz any little thing, they divorce u & all ur life savings awarded to them. 2) Going to school(being educated) is good. With it u can be able to manage ur finances without being deceived or misled. 3) Always keep good friends & advisers. Not fairweather friends who are there bcuz of the money. 4) Always seek financial advise from financial experts b4 u sign any huge financial transactions/deals. 5) Invest when the money is flowing, bcuz u never know tomorrow. 2 Likes |

Who says education is overrated again after reading the story? Talent is simply not enough. Education is very important to manage and sustain wealth. |

His illiteracy is the major cause of his fall. That white gold digger probably deceived him into signing documents he wouldn't have signed if he were educated. |
