 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.

‘When winners are speaking, don’t talk’ – BBNaija’s Ilebaye replies critics

Big Brother Naija All Stars winner, Ilebaye Odiniya, has dared those insinuating that her character is not “befitting” of a winner of a reality show of that magnitude to recreate her feat if it is “easy.”
She boasted that the feat she achieved wasn’t an easy one, urging her critics not to speak “when winners are speaking.”
In a recent Instagram live session with fans, Ilebaye said in Pidgin: “People will say, ‘See una winner.’ If e easy, try am. If it is easy to be a winner, try it.
“Do you know what it means to be an All-Star winner? If e easy, oya, do am. E no easy jare. Please, when winners are speaking, don’t speak.”
DAILY POST recalls that Ilebaye walked home with the N120 million grand prize after emerging as the winner of the Big Brother Naija All Stars edition on October 1.
Since winning the reality show, the self-styled ‘Gen Z Baddie’ has been a subject of criticism, especially for her social media behaviour and fashion sense.
