    Fake news alert! 🙅🏿🚫⚠️ A story has been going around social media claiming the footballer Samuel Eto'o bought plane tickets for Cameroonian migrants so they could return home from Libya. But Eto'o called it a rumour which "is completely baseless". http://bbc.in/2hYwdae pic.twitter.com/ICpUnIxzhO

        He has the right to deny the claim if its not true & shouldn't blame 4 the failures of all these baboons ruling Africa. However, all African footballers should understand that they are very lucky & come to the aid of Africans in times of these kinds of crisis. Please @Akon help.

        Just to clarify that Paul Kagame is the only African leader who has intervene in this crisis, offering to shelter for 30,000 African from Libya. We should always acknowledge the right leaders in Africa and he is certainly one of them. Generally, African footballers not generous.

        I don't think @setoo9 has said if he did anything or not. I think it's best if the clarification comes from him.
