Nwankwo Kanu&rsquo;s elder brother, Godwin Kanu, has vehemently denied accusations that the retired Nigeria international is not fending for his extended family based in Imo State.<br /><br />The former Arsenal, Inter Milan and Ajax Amsterdam star is a multi-millionaire but it is thought that the wealth he accumulated over the years , especially during his playing days, is not rubbing off on his family.<br /><br />The ex African Footballer of the Year picked the nickname Papilo from his elder brother, Godwin. However, the original Papilo is barely making ends meet by engaging in petty trading. <br /><br />&ldquo; He (Nwankwo Kanu) is taking care of us very well, he bought a house for me, a duplex, &rdquo; said Godwin Kanu to <b>allnigeriasoccer.com</b>.<br /><br />&ldquo;I have a mini - supermarket, people must talk. I will invite you to my shop to see if I&rsquo;m suffering. I am not suffering. I am okay, I am a landlord. He has some properties here that I am controlling. <br /><br />&ldquo;I don&rsquo;t like to brag or I can be kidnapped in Owerri. There are (some) bad people here. <br /><br />&ldquo;What other thing do I want in life ? Even the people talking have problems in their families. &rdquo;<br /><br />Reacting to the statements published above, <b>allnigeriasoccer.com</b>&rsquo;s informant said Godwin Kanu is being economical with the truth.<br /><br />&ldquo;Godwin Kanu is an Igbo man, he doesn&rsquo;t want to disgrace his brother. They are different from other tribes. Look at his shop, does it look like someone that is enjoying benefits from Kanu.<br /><br />&ldquo;The thing is that we all know Kanu is a star and was well paid during his playing days but look at the state of his brother.<br /><br />&ldquo;He sells Felele football, daily needs like tea, sugar, milk and bread. Kanu&rsquo;s wealth has never reflected on any of his family members except Ogbonna.<br /><br />&ldquo;Their mom before she got late was selling at Amakohia Market, popularly known as Eke Megbu or Ahia Amakohia,&rdquo; the top source said.<br /><br />These days, Nwankwo Kanu is ambassador of the Nigeria national teams and was in Brazil last year to motivate the Super Eagles.<br /><b><br />Editor</b><br />
