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.
The United States is having challenges of low birth rate among her population. This is a big challenge and problem. A super power needs the human population necessary to sustain her super power position. At this declining rate,TRUMP envisage rages on immigrants, needs careful analysis, before it backfires.America as a nation has a reputation of easily converting any immigrants into American thinking composition faster than any nation on earth.Any child born in America, becomes American in all ramifications, so fast,it baffles parents of such home born immigrants.
