#BBB NEWS| Involvement Of The Nigerian People In the Anti-corruption War By Femi Falana

Introduction: Nigerians recently voted for the All Progressive Congress (APC) because it promised to change poverty to prosperity, tackle insecurity of life and property, combat impunity and corruption, fix infrastructure, restore rule of law and transparency in governance and end the isolation of the country in the international community.

On account of the ideological orientation of its leadership, the APC promised to promote a private sector-led economic system.

Since the inauguration of the new administration two months ago, President Mohammadu Buhari has been under pressure to embark on the immediate removal of fuel subsidy, further devaluation of the national currency and the complete take-over of the economy by market forces. In order to hide the cause of the underdevelopment of the nation, the fall in the price of crude oil in the international market has been blamed for the virtual collapse of the neo-colonial capitalist economy.

#BBB NEWS| 7 Habits of Highly Respected Leaders By Harvey Deutschendorf

A title, position, and corner office may earn them extra pay and benefits, but respect is something that does not automatically come with a leadership position. This has to be earned and is one of the most difficult entities for a leader to acquire.

Respected leaders are not always liked by everyone and not always popular. A leader may be well liked as a person, yet be weak and afraid to make difficult decisions, shows favoritism to those who stroke his/her ego, and be quite ineffective.

On the other hand, there are leaders who intimidate their subordinates and use fear as a way of getting things done. Neither of these leaders will earn the respect of their employees. If we take a closer look at leaders who have walked the difficult path that have earned them respect, we will see the following traits.

1. They are willing to do or have done what they expect of others

Leaders should not ask others to do something that they have not done in the past nor would they be willing to do now. They lead by example and their efforts will set a standard for the rest of the organization. If they are unwilling to put in the extra time and effort into a project they expect of their staff, they will be seen as hypocrites and lose the respect of those under them. Leaders who are highly respected will put in at least as much time and effort as those they serve. Often they will lead by being the hardest working person on their team.

#BBB NEWS| Meet The World's First HEARTLESS Man Who Is Able To Live Without A Pulse [PHOTOS]

Heartless: Craig Lewis, 55, was the first man to have a 'continuous flow' pump to replace his entire heart - and now has no pulse. In March of last year, Craig Lewis, was dying from a heart condition that caused build-ups of abnormal proteins, and not even a pacemaker could help save his life.

But two doctors from the Texas Heart Institute proposed a revolutionary new solution – install a ‘continuous flow’ device that would allow blood to circulate his body without a pulse.

Dr Billy Cohn and Dr Bud Frazier installed the device after removing Mr Lewis’ heart. Within a day, the patient was up and speaking with physicians.

The two doctors had developed the device some time before and had tested it on nearly 50 calves.

They removed the animals’ hearts, and by the next day, the calves were doing everything they were the day before – eating, sleeping, and moving – but this time, without a heart pumping blood through their bodies.
