Doctors threaten to shut hospitals over colleague’s murder

 The Nigerian Medical Association, South-South Zone, has threatened to shut down all hospitals in Delta State to protest against the murder of one of its members, Dr. Uyi Iluobe, by gunmen who attacked his hospital, Olive Clinic, at Oghareki, in the Ethiope West Local Government Area on New Year’s Eve.

The Chairman, NMA Edo State branch/South-South caucus, Dr Udoka Imoisili, and Secretary, NMA Edo State Branch/South-South Caucus/ZEC, Dr Collins Otoikhila, in a statement on Tuesday, threatened to commence a one-week shutdown of hospitals in the state.

The statement read in part, “While we mourn the unfortunate murder of our colleague, we wish to assure all our members in the South-South zone that we shall pursue this case to its logical conclusion. We will not spare anything to ensure that Dr Uyi lluobe and his family get justice.

“While the South-South caucus/zone in conjunction with the Delta State branch of NMA is working hard to unravel the circumstances behind this unwarranted murder of a dutiful medical doctor, the zone strongly condemns this dastardly act and in the interim, resolves as follows:

“That the relevant security agencies step up their efforts to arrest the perpetrators of this heinous crime within five days, after which the South- South caucus may not be able to guarantee the rendering of normal medical services in the entire South-South zone.

“That members of all NMA state branches in the South-South zone should henceforth put on black arm bands throughout this week to mourn our colleague.”

THE HISTORY OF CORPORATE IDENTITY

  THE HISTORY OF CORPORATE IDENTITY     In 1996, Graphic Design Legend Paul Rand declared “the greatest living graphic designer”—it was yet another ‘feather in the cap’ for him, and one of many during a long and colorful career that would make any present day designer envious. But more so when the acclamation comes from a visionary like Steve Jobs. In fact, it was Paul Rand’s dedication to treating design as a function of business that helped Steve Jobs’ Apple to become the design-leading powerhouse that it is today.   In 1986, Rand was hired to create a logo for Jobs, reportedly for a fee of $100,000. But long before that—back in the 1950s—he had already begun to pave the way for design systems, and the notion of corporate identity.   Many consider Rand to be the father of modern graphic design—the man who introduced the idea that commercial art could, and should, have both a strong visual appeal and an important functional role in the world of mo...

Read on for more specific tips on successfully traveling abroad. Researching a Destination Get a good guidebook.  Fodor's, Rick Steves, and the Michelin guides are all excellent places to start. Make sure you have the most up-to-date guide book for the area of the world you intend to visit. Some are updated every year. Others are updated every other year, or every few years.

Peptic ulcers are any ulcers that affect both the stomach and small intestines. Stomach ulcers occur when the thick layer of mucus that protects your stomach from digestive juices is reduced. This allows the digestive acids to eat away at the tissues that line the stomach, causing an ulcer.   Stomach ulcers may be easily cured, but they can become severe without proper treatment.   WHAT CAUSES ULCER In the majority of all ulcer cases, the cause of ulcers can be linked to a bacterial infection known as a Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori)   usually present in the mucus lining of the intestine.   In certain cases it can cause inflammation and lead to the formation of an ulcer.
