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.
