Access Bank 10 Minutes Per Day Job Application

Access Bank just introduced a new, slightly weird mode of recruitment; one that gives applicants only 10 minutes in a day (from 10 am to 10.10 am) over 30 days to apply on the site. As interesting and innovative that approach of recruitment is, it has its own shortcomings, one that has the capability of making a mess of the whole idea. It is like telling all the people living in Lekki - Ajah axis of Lagos, they have only 10 minutes in a day to use the Lekki - Epe express way, of course what you will achieve is a gridlock. Today, my prediction came to pass.

When I saw the advert yesterday when it started, my first question was, could their server withstand the expected traffic. Today's session brought the server on its knees and many job seekers could not gain access to the platform probably due to many people using the platform at the same time. The server could not withstand the traffic after all. It seems Access Bank under estimated the number of people that will be interested in this recruitment. May be as days go on, the traffic will wane or the server will be upgraded. Only time will tell.

However, the idea is quite innovative, you can only apply for 10 minutes each day and after that the portal is closed till the next day when it will also be open for 10 minutes and so on) will come up everyday till 10th June 2015 according to Access Bank.

When the page opens within the 10 minutes application time, you will see a page with this information:

Urhobo Group Justifies Blowing Up Of Oil Facilities



Militancy may be returning to the Niger Delta as aggrieved Urhobo militants under the aegis of Urhobo Gbagbako, who blew up oil facilities in Ihwrenen and Ejophe communities in Ughelli North and Ughelli South Local Government Areas, Delta State, justified their decision to be due to the marginalization and neglect of Urhobo nation by the outgoing administration of President Goodluck Jonathan.

“The Urhobo nation, as the fifth largest ethnic group in the country, has long been marginalized in the presidential amnesty programme and pipeline surveillance jobs and contracts. Even the Delta Steel Company, DSC, Aladja, that is supposed to be the only federal project in Urhoboland, has been grounded for years,” the group said in a statement by its National Chairman, Otega Obire.

He warned that the Urhobo hospitality, simplicity and maturity exhibited to ensure the smooth functioning of government at all levels, should not be mistaken for cowardice.

The group therefore told the incoming government to create a level playing ground for bidding and allocation of contracts in the oil pipeline surveillance with particular reference to the “Urhobos who are the major host communities of oil facilities and gas plants in line with the Local Content Act.”

It also called for the speedy resuscitation of DSC to reduce unemployment and restiveness in their domain, and by extension promote the economic fortunes of the people.

Sambisa Forest: I Never Believed We would Make it out Alive — Rachael, Christian Hostage

Penultimate Saturday, 275 rescued victims of Boko Haram were moved from Sambisa forest to the Malkohi Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) Camp on the outskirts of Yola, Adamawa State capital. The victims, women and children, were driven into the camp amid tight security.

They arrived the camp after almost three days journey which forced the victims to be exhausted. Many of them, especially kids, could not alight from the vehicles that brought them. They had to be assisted by officials of the National Emergency Management Agency, NEMA, the Red Cross, the military and other agencies in the camp.

The children looked malnourished. But more worrisome is the fact that many of them had gunshot
injuries.

Vanguard adds that the journey from Sambisa to Yola lasted over 72 hours owing to many reasons. One, the military had to do a mop up of the roads in the forest to clear landmines believed to have been planted in the dreaded forest by the fleeing insurgents. A military bulldozer had to be used to clear the roads for the vehicles conveying the victims to have access to the road linking Adamawa, Borno and Yobe states.

Learn 6 Simple Ways To Get The Girlfriend Of Your Dreams



The truth is no couple wants to say they met online, at the club or through a matchmaker. She would rather tell her friends about the bold man who took action and approached, like a gentleman. It’s a much more romantic and exciting story to be told.


If you start strong, it will demonstrate the kind of man you are and set the tone for your relationship. Approaching like a gentleman means being honest, direct and genuinely interested in the woman you’re talking to. It also means avoiding cheap pick-up gimmicks and not being upfront about who you are and your intentions.

To get your ideal partner, you also have to be able to lead yourself and be open to rejection. Without leading yourself, you won’t be able to lead others (crucial in a relationship as a man), and you will never get what you want because you are always going to be waiting for someone else to give you permission.

Without being open to rejection, you can never experience victory. Who wins without making any failed attempts?If you want the kind of relationship you’ve always dreamed of, then stop waiting for permission from others, stop seeking approval for what you want and be willing to fail big time to get it.

The process of meeting your ideal partner can seem tedious, but the alternative is settling for someone you’re not truly in tune with just because he or she happens to like you, and there are no other options. Here is the exact process, step by step, which I used to get my own girlfriend, and you can use it, too.

For guys who only want to learn techniques, this is not for you. Quick fixes, instant gratification and not focusing on the big picture will get you limited results. For the rest of us interested in an amazing life and a long-term strategy, read on:

President Jonathan implicated in million dollars contract scam [Details]


President Jonathan has been implicated in the awarding of multi-million dollars Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) contracts to two factitious firms, according to The Nation. With less than a month to hand over, President Jonathan has come under scrutiny for making last minutes appointments

The contracts in question were said to have been awarded by the president to Messrs CTOW Terminal & Marine Services and Ibejige Services Limited, two unregistered ghost companies in defiance of due process.

The controversial contracts meant for the provision of third party towage services (TPTS) at Warri and Onne ports pilotage districts have come under intense scrutiny following revelations by sources close to the Federal Ministry of Transport (FMOT) in Abuja that the award of the contracts by NPA to the two firms did not follow due process .

Added to the fact that the companies are not registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC), they also do not have a known address.

Finding by The Nation, indicates that the president’s approval for the contracts was contained in a letter last year to the NPA through the Federal Ministry of Transport on August 14, 2014.

Barcelona 3-0 Bayern: Messi Brace Sets Barca on the Road to Berlin



Lionel Messi’s moment of brilliance propelled Barcelona to a 3-0 win over Bayern Munich in a Uefa Champions League last-4 tie on Wednesday.

There’s no stopping the Argentine superstar; Pep Guardiola shared the same thought in his pre-game conference on Tuesday and the closing quarter of what was a high-octane spectacle proved the former Barca manager right, as his former protégé came up with the joker on his return to the ground where he won 14 titles as manager.

Bayern have an uphill task on their hands, heading into next week’s return leg in Munich trailing by 3 goals and without hopes of having their top marksmen back. No point making a case for absentees on the night considering the fact that the Bavarians have coped all season with injury problems.

However, the absence of the likes of David Alaba (knee), Arjen Robben (calf), Franck Ribéry (ankle), as well as Sebastian Rode (muscular problems) and Holger Badstuber (thigh) made little room for the possession-drunk and offensive German game, as were the case three years back when the Allianz Arena outfit were rarely troubled On their way to a 7-0 aggregate win over Barca in the semi-final stage of the Champions League.

Pastor Nabbed With 1.978kgOf Heroin At Enugu Airport



A Lagos pastor has been arrested by operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) at Akanu Ibiam International Airport (AIIA), Enugu over drug trafficking.

The suspect, Daniel Lanre Akintola, 43, was caught with 1.978kg of heroin concealed in the false bottom of his luggage.

NDLEA commander at the Enugu Airport, Nsikak-Abasi Udoh, disclosed that the 43-year-old pastor attempted to abandon his luggage at the arrival hall for fear of arrest.

“Mr. Daniel Lanre Akintola unlawfully possessed 1.978kg of heroin, while returning from Entebbe, a major town in Central Uganda.

“He wanted to abandon the luggage, but we detected his intention. The drug was carefully concealed in a false bottom of his luggage.

“The second suspect is a businessman who had parcels of ephedrine weighing 51.5kg, which he wanted to smuggle to Ma-puto, Mozambique.

“They are being investigated.”

Akintola did not deny ownership of the bag containing heroin, but said he was returning from a pastor’s conference.

“I am a pastor with one of the pentecostal churches, at Ipaja, Lagos. I attended a minister’s conference in Uganda.

“This bag, where heroin was found, is my bag but I am a pastor and not a drug trafficker.”

Buhari Blames Slow Growth Of Oil&Gas Sector On Politicians



President-elect Muhammadu Buhari has blamed politicians for the slow rate of development in the nation’s oil and gas sector.


He said this when he received a delegation from Total Oil Exploration and Production Group who were on a congratulatory visit.

Buhari said the slow progress recorded in the development of the country’s gas production and distribution infrastructure was due to sabotage by politicians and inefficiency by the officials.

The Chief Executive Officer of Total Group, Mr. Patrick Pouyanne, however, assured that his company was doing its best to assuage the pains of Nigerians with the ongoing fuel scarcity. It has therefore directed its downstream subsidiary to ensure all-round supply of petroleum product to its 500 distribution outlets throughout the country.

“We have discussed and I think some solutions are being implemented. Our downstream subsidiary, Total Nigeria Plc, is doing its best in order to supply its 500 outstations throughout the country with fuel to help check the scarcity.

“Nigeria is an important nation in our business outlook. It presently accounts for over 10 per cent of Total Group’s investment worldwide. We are not just involved in the Upstream and natural gas production, but in the downstream operations.

“We are deeply concerned on the current challenges being witnessed in Nigeria and global oil market,” he said.

Gen Buhari orders security personnel attached to him to always obey traffic order


President elect, Gen. Buhari has reportedly ordered aides and security personnel attached to him to always obey traffic regulations during all his movements in any part of the country. In a statement released and signed by his media team in Abuja yesterday May 6th, Buhari said leadership without example will cause ordinary citizens to copy the lawlessness of their leaders. Above is a picture of his convoy waiting at a traffic light. 



"Without leadership by example, the ordinary citizens would become copycats of the lawlessness of their leaders”He went further by stating that “arrogance of power, lawlessness and disregard for the rights and convenience of fellow citizens would have no place in his government”.

He said in a democracy, leaders should not inconvenience their citizens or cause them to experience unbearable ordeals for their own comfort.

The President-elect advised his military and police security personnel to be in tune with his philosophy of “bringing the rule of law in the conduct of leaders during their movements on public roads.”

Kim Kardashian Banned Selfies at her Selfie Book Signing (Photos)


Her new book features over 400 pages of selfies she's taken for nearly a decade. But Kim Kardashian didn't want her adoring fans taking their own self-taken snapshots while plugging the new hardcover.

Upon arrival at the event held at the bookstore, Kim posed for photos as she held up her new hardcover portrait photography book, which released on Tuesday. And as usual, Kim flaunted her famous curves in a stunning white ensemble. Pics continue after the cut.

PDP’s Fall Was Caused By Patience Jonathan, Fani-Kayode And Fayose — Tsav



As President Goodluck Jonathan intervened in the open war between his aides and the National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), a retired Police Commissioner, Alhaji Abubakar Tsav has said that the situation the PDP has found itself was caused by Jonathan’s wife and some aides who took over the party and were speaking for it everywhere.


“When the PDP was formed with pomp and pageantry some years back, its members boasted that it was the largest party in Africa. Some at a point boasted that it would rule for 60 years and beyond. Things went right, and everything flourished in the party. Everybody went for the umbrella but today, the situation has changed and the umbrella is leaking profusely not only from torrential rain but from the rays of the tropical sun.

“Most of the founding fathers have left the party in anger ranging from lack of internal democracy to encouraging illegality. The situation was worsened by the departure of former President Olusegun Obasanjo, who is an institution himself.

There Is Provision For Fuel Subsidy In 2015 Budget – Okonjo-Iweala



The Minister of Finance and Co-ordinating Minister for the Economy, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, yesterday, said the government has not removed fuel subsidy from the 2015 budget, as she confirmed that N145.2 billion provision was made for it.

“I want to clarify that there has been some misinformation that has gone around in the media about the fact that the National Assembly passed the 2015 budget without provision for fuel subsidy. It is not true,” she told newsmen in Abuja.

“It is important that you note that the National Assembly approved provisions of N100 billion for PMS (Petroleum Motor Spirit, otherwise called petrol) and N45.2 billion for kerosene subsidy. So, it is not true that they passed the budget without provision for subsidy,” she added.

The minister emphasized that managing the economy since the crash in oil prices had been very tough for her team which had to adopt various strategies to keep the economy running.

Buhari meets with a journalist he jailed when he was a military leader


President-elect Gen Buhari met with Mr Tunde Thompson, one of the journalists he jailed for disobeying Decree 4 during his administration in 1984. Decree 4 was enacted by Gen Buhari to checkmate the authenticity of press reports, a policy many believed was against the freedom of speech. Both men met at a media parley the president elect had with his media campaign team in Abuja yesterday May 5th. Mr Thompson now works with Gen Buhari's media team. Gen Buhari told him that jailing him, at that time was one of the challenges of his administration then. He appreciated his media team for carrying out a decent campaign for him during the election

"I want to commend you especially for two things. First, is the decent media campaign you conducted despite the PDP’s dirty tactics, you stayed focused on issues and avoided the temptation to sling mud. I thank you for your uncommon motivation to do the work. Despite the lean budget on which we ran our campaign, you did not allow the lack of adequate remuneration to stall the work at any point in time. You continued to give your best"he said.

Champions League: Juventus 2-1 Real Madrid




Juventus take a narrow first-leg lead over Uefa Champions League holders Real Madrid into next week’s reverse after a slim 2-1 win in Turin on Tuesday night.

Carlos Tevez’s 50th goal for Juventus scored from the penalty spot made the difference, but it is far from over for the two-time champions with a return leg at the Estadio Santiago Bernebeu on the card.


Cristiano Ronaldo headed the Los Merengues level from a James Rodriguez cross after Alvaro Morata had poked home from close range against his former club.

Juve, playing in their first semi-final since 2003, got off to a dream start and were on the front foot before the opening ten minutes on the back of a Stefao Sturaro shot straight at Iker Casillas and Morata’s beautiful lob which was too slow to beat the out-of-position veteran shot-stopper.

Claudio Marchisio laid the ball for Tevez down the right side of the box and the Argentinean’s low shot was only parried back into play by Casillas, allowing Morata to score from close range.
