Access Bank was recently adjudged overall winner of the 2013 Web-Jurist ‘Website Effectiveness Award’ conducted by Philips Consulting, for its consistence in the quality of service delivery via its website.
The bank moved from the third position last year, beating industry peers- Guaranty Trust and Zenith banks respectively.
A statement by Access Bank, at the weekend said the feat is a validation of its “industry leadership in e-payment and compliance with best practice which requires provision of accurate, relevant and timely information on organizational websites at all times.
Analysis of the Web-Jurist research report showed that Access Bank’s website was adjudged best in the technical aspects such as navigation, functionality and security. Also the website was declared winner in website content that had metrics such as accuracy and presentation. The awards came on the heels of the unveiling of the bank’s re-vamped website which significantly enhanced its aesthetics and improved its functionality for improved customer experience.
Similarly, an international Web Analyst who had described Access Bank’s certification by the British Standard Institute as a tacit endorsement of the safety of transaction on its platforms and information assets which guarantees the highest level of security for customers’ details and information, said the Bank’s emergence as a overall winner in the Banks category affirms the credibility of the selection process.

For Ladies – 5 Ways To Be A Sexier And More Confident Lover!!!
Confidence
is one of the sexiest things about a woman. It shows that she has other
character traits that men love — the ability to stand up for herself,
empowerment, good looks, and sassiness. Not only that, but confident
women embrace their assertiveness over their own se*uality — and they
know what they want.
Confidence is knowing that you’re worth a lot and that you have value to add. It’s a deep feeling of certainty about who you are and what you stand for.
But dating, especially after a divorce or break-up, can leave women with their confidence shaken to the core. Sometimes being confident is easier said than done.
Here are some tips for being confident while dating.
1. Remember, comfortable is not the same as confident. To be empowered, you must get in touch with your innermost self and learn to feel certain about who you are and what you stand for. This can pull you squarely out of the “I guess he’s good enough” rut and into a relationship you deserve.
2. Start small. The more confidence you have in a single area of your life (For example: I am excellent at snowboarding), the more it will seep into other areas of your life. It’s hard to look at the big picture and say, “I WILL be confident in ALL of these things.” So start small, build that confidence.
3. Fake it until you make it. Sometimes, the very act of approaching a great guy, or making eyes at someone, or taking that first step into dating, can create a cascade effect. The more you do it, the easier it’ll become. And the more confident you’ll become about doing it again.
4. Channel your inner diva. If you’re feeling like you’re blowing a first date, think of your favorite diva and how SHE would react. Pretty soon, that inner diva will be you.
5. Smile. There’s very little sexier than a killer smile. It’s your first impression, and it’s likely to last a long time
Woman Seeks Control Of Husband’s Salary
The Magajin Gari Sharia Court II, Kaduna on Monday ordered a `house wife’ and her parents to appear before it on Sept. 24, for marrying a comatose husband.
Hadiza Mainasara of Kabala Costain, Kaduna had gone to the court asking it to direct the younger brother of `her husband’ to be remitting the salary of her sick husband to her.
The court was told that Mainasara, the husband had been in a vegetative state for five years and throughout the period, Badamasi Ahmad, the younger brother had been collecting his monthly salary without remitting anything to her.
The court was, however, taken aback when in his testimony, the defendant said the woman, who was divorced from her husband, only returned to the matrimonial home a year ago.
Ahmad said since her return, he has been giving her N60,000 monthly from the salary as directed by his father.
The presiding officer, Khadi Ibrahim Mohammed who heard that Mainasara “can neither walk, talk or recognise anybody for three years”, demanded to know from the woman how long she had been married to him, and she said one year.
Hadiza explained that she was asked by her in-laws to return to the house to take care of the man and the six children she bore for him before their divorce.
She told the court that a dowry of N10,000 was paid by her husband’s father to contract the marriage.
At this point, Mohammed said it was against Islamic law to contract marriage with a sick person who cannot recognise anybody.
He, therefore, directed the complainant, her parents and the parents of her husband to appear before the court on Sept. 24, to determine why the marriage was contracted against the provisions of the law. [NAN
APC Debunks Reports Keyamo Has Been Adopted To Replace Late Senator Ewherido In Senate
Reports
in a section of the media that the All Progressives Congress (APC) has
adopted radical lawyer, Festus Keyamo, as its candidate for the
forthcoming bye-election into the vacant Delta Central Senatorial
District seat has been described as misleading by the party’s interim
National Vice Chairman, South-South, Chief Tom Ikimi.
Ikimi, who expressed the party’s regret over the sudden and untimely death of the Senator representing Delta Central at the National Assembly, Pius Ewherido in June, said neither the Senate nor the Independent National Electoral Commission had declared the seat vacant.
He said it would be misleading for anyone to claim that he had been adopted for the senatorial election.
Ikimi made these views known in a resolution adopted after a meeting of the defunct Action Congress of Nigeria, Congress for Progressive Change and All Nigeria Peoples Party – the three parties that merged to form the APC.
The resolution stated, “Barrister Keyamo was not adopted by the party. The only organ that has been put in place for the APC so far is the interim National Executive Committee, led by Chief Bisi Akande as National Chairman. I serve in the committee as National Vice Chairman (South-South).
“The party is in the process of putting in place state harmonization committees in the 36 states of the federation, thereafter membership registration will commence nationwide, leading to the holding of congresses at the unit, ward, local and state levels. A special case was that of Anambra State recently where membership registration was conducted by the APC across the state to enable the party hold direct primaries to elect a candidate for the governorship election slated for November this year.”
G7 Has No Right To Stop Jonathan’s 2015 Ambition – Akpabio
Akwa Ibom state governor, God-swill Akpabio has said that governors of the New PDP have no right to demand that President Good luck Jonathan put an end to his second term ambition, describing it “as uncalled for”.
He said this while commenting on the reconciliation talks between the aggrieved members and the party’s leadership, including President Jonathan, which has been shifted to the 7th of October.
Although, Mr Akpabio said that the issue has been settled and all the parties have come to the conclusion that the ambition is a personal decision of the president and that nobody has any right to stop him.
The aggrieved governors were said to have insisted that apart from the president dropping his second term ambition, there should be an unconditional lifting of the suspension on Rivers state governor, Chibuike Amaechi, as well as the sacking of the PDP chairman, Bamanga Tukur.
