A former goalkeeper and Akwa United Football Club assistant coach, Moses Effiong, has been pronounced dead by medical experts after prolonged ailments in the United States of America (USA).

Effiong’s death came barely three months after celebrating his 65th birthday with hopes of surviving the ailment that prompted his transfer abroad for medical care.

The demise of the former national team goalkeeper was announced on Sunday by the Chairman of the club, Paul Bassey, through a statement released by club’s Media Director, Mfon Patrick.

Bassey described late Effiong Moses as a complete gentleman, core professional football coach and a wonderful family man who was dedicated and committed to the success of every duty assigned to him.

According to the statement, “The Management, staff and players of Akwa United Football Club regret to announce the sudden demise of our goalkeeper coach and a member of Nigeria 1980 Africa Cup of Nations Winner coach Effiong Moses (MON) who passed away early on Sunday 26 January, 2025 in the United States of America after a long battle with illness.

65? Very young, what some african people living in cold America and Europe is once you become older the cold weather is not good for you anymore. Expecially if you were born and raised in Africa or a warm country.

No way! In hell i am still going to be in this cold weather at 65.

Even oyibo people retire in hot countries when they old.

I thought he went there for medical reasons.

Nevertheless, you are right about the cold and how most white people choose to migrate to warmer climate during retirement.

Normal life!

Once you reach 60yr, start preparing for your death because your internal organs will be working slowly and pathetic during that time.
I want to die by age 54. Dont want to die old!
