I think your advice is wise. Those kids do not respect him. At 17, if the kid cannot recognise that he has a father in Africa, it speaks volumes. He should forget about them.

Those terrible words you've just used should better be applied to you rather. Such an acidic character.

I pray that you find the strength to go through this painful experience. With time, your kids will find out the truth. They will eventually reconcile with you. Keep sending them emails. Call even if their mom does not cooperate. Never say anything negative about the mom. Keep praying. God works in wonderful ways.

Emmanuel Eboué’s ex-wife is Aurélie Bertrand, a Belgian woman. During their 2017 divorce, she was awarded most of his UK assets by the court. Here’s what happened:

What she got in the divorce

1. UK property: The court gave Aurélie the two houses Eboué owned in England.

2. *Money & cars*: She was also awarded his money and cars that he had in England.
3. *Custody of kids*: She got custody of their three children.

*What Eboué said happened after*
After the ruling, Eboué said he was left “broke” and “practically homeless” in the UK. He told British media:
> _“Imagine, after almost two decades of hard labour you lose everything you have. Even your kids, you are not permitted to see them... I had thought about suicide”_.

He wasn’t allowed to see his kids for a period, which hit him hard.

Important context he later added
In 2021, Eboué clarified reports that he “lost everything” weren’t fully accurate:
“I have my own properties in Africa and so I live with that”
He still owned houses in Ghana and Ivory Coast. He said he expected Aurélie to use the UK assets to take care of their children.

The aftermath
- 2018: Divorce finalized. Eboué said it “destroyed” his family and ruined him financially.
- *2019: He remarried his Ivorian ex-girlfriend Stéphanie Boedé in Abidjan. He said: _“I met Stéphanie while playing at Asec. I had nothing then... Our paths have crossed again”_.

So: she didn’t “steal” his money illegally — a UK court awarded her the UK assets in the divorce settlement. The impact was severe because most of his liquid wealth and UK homes went to her, and he lost day-to-day access to his kids.

As least you can visit their training ground once in a while if you are not Barred from their presence. Don't force yourself on them there. If they see you every now and then, they will realize that you are a caring father.

Women are something else. Evil is quick to build in them. She has turned the man's son to see his father as one that wasn't there for them. When it was her that milk the man dey,pushing him away from his kid. Stealing all his fortunes. It's so sad that the son read his messages and do not reply,what could it be that the mom has told him,if not lies
