 1980 AFCON Champion Charles Bassey Dies at 71 Charles Bassey, a member of Nigeria’s historic 1980 Africa Cup of Nations-winning squad, has died at the age of 71 after a prolonged illness. He passed away on Saturday in his hometown, Eket, Akwa Ibom State. The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) confirmed his death in a statement released on Monday by its General Secretary, Dr. Mohammed Sanusi, describing the loss as part of a “day of double tragedy” following the earlier death of team captain Christian Chukwu. Bassey was part of the Green Eagles team that secured Nigeria’s first AFCON title with a 3-0 victory over Algeria at the National Stadium in Lagos on March 22, 1980. After retiring as a player, he transitioned into coaching and managed several clubs, including Calabar Rovers, Mobil Pegasus, BCC Lions, Flash Flamingoes, Akwa United, and Wikki Tourists. His passing brings the number of deceased members of the 1980 squad to nine.

VAN VICKER ISN'T A GOOD ACTOR-GENIEVE NNAJI.

                Genieve Nnaji was granted an interview by the Nigerian Tribune newspaper,she mentioned that Van Vicker isn't a good actor.Now Van Vicker is responding to her statement saying ''I read the article but i wasn't bothered about it because that was her opinion,and she is entitled to it.I never responded to it,and i don't think i will.Never the less,i don't have any ill feelings towards her.Now,whether her opinion has changed or is still the same,it doesn't make much of a difference to me,because i know i am doing what i am doing with a passion.I am enjoying it and i am making the best i can of it.Having said that,if i am given a job to do and she is involved,i would do the job.I wont say because she said this,i won't do the job.If i meet her at a function or on a movie shoot,i'll ask her,but  i won't do it through the media.Some of these things people write in the papers or on blogs are not even true.It's possible they twisted her words.They do it to me all the time,so it's possible they did that to her.But when i meet her personally,i will ask her if she did say that,and if she did,the conversation will continue,as to why she said it and how she said it''.Well my only contribution is these,if they say you don't know how to act,how can you twist it to sound better e.g''act you don't know it'',does it sound any different?.
