Water is essential for cellular homeostasis and life. Without water, humans can survive only for days, and severe dehydration leads to cognitive dysfunction, delirium, and coma.

During sporting events, dehydration is associated with decrements in the athletes' physical performance. Mild levels of dehydration alter mood and cognitive function and reduce concentration, alertness, and short-term memory in children and young adults.

In the elderly, dehydration is well known to compromise cognitive function.

Aging blunts thirst and drinking responses, making older people more vulnerable to body fluid imbalance, and increasing their susceptibility to cognitive decline. Indeed, dehydration is a predisposing factor for confusion in long-term care residents.

Furthermore, plasma hypertonicity, a marker of dehydration, increases the risk of ischemic stroke in hospitalized patients and may precipitate cerebral ischemic events in susceptible elderly individuals.

The mechanisms responsible for these effects have not been clearly elucidated. Dehydration leads to reductions in brain volume and changes in neural activity in brain areas involved in fluid homeostasis, but little is known about the factors responsible for the alteration in cognition.

One possibility is that dehydration disrupts critical cerebrovascular homeostatic mechanisms, such as the increases in cerebral blood flow (CBF) induced by neural activity or by endothelial cells, that assure that the brain receives a supply of oxygen and glucose well matched to its energy needs.

In support of this possibility, alterations in cerebrovascular regulation are often associated with cognitive dysfunction.

Furthermore, vasopressin (AVP), the plasma level of which increases with dehydration, is involved in the cerebrovascular dysfunction induced by administration of slow pressor doses of angiotensin II (ANGII).

The effect is due to AVP-mediated expression of the potent vasoactive peptide endothelin-1 (ET-1) in cerebral blood vessels, which, in turn, is responsible for the cerebrovascular alterations.

Therefore, in this study, we sought to determine whether dehydration alters the mechanisms regulating the cerebral microcirculation. We found that dehydration induces a profound disruption of the ability of neural activity, endothelial cells, and smooth muscle cells to regulate CBF, which is associated with cognitive dysfunction assessed using the Y-maze. The effect depends on AVP-mediated oxidative stress and induction of ET-1 in cerebral blood vessels.

The findings provide the first evidence to date that dehydration alters critical regulatory mechanisms of the cerebral circulation, which may reduce vascular reserves and contribute to the associated cognitive dysfunction and increased stroke risk.

Circulatory system


circulatory system, also called the cardiovascular system or the vascular system, is an organ system that permits blood to circulate and transport nutrients (such as amino acids and electrolytes), oxygen, carbon dioxide, hormones, and blood cells to and from the cells in the body to provide nourishment and help in fighting diseases, stabilize temperature and pH, and maintain homeostasis. The study of the blood flow is called hemodynamics. The study of the properties of the blood flow is called hemorheology.


The human circulatory system (simplified). Red indicates oxygenated blood carried in arteries, blue indicates deoxygenated blood carried in veins. Capillaries, which join the arteries and veins, and the lymphatic vessels are not shown.



The circulatory system is often seen to comprise two separate systems: the cardiovascular system, which distributes blood, and the lymphatic system, which circulates lymph. The passage of lymph for example takes much longer than that of blood. Blood is a fluid consisting of plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets that is circulated by the heart through the vertebrate vascular system, carrying oxygen and nutrients to and waste materials away from all body tissues. Lymph is essentially recycled excess blood plasma after it has been filtered from the interstitial fluid (between cells) and returned to the lymphatic system.


The cardiovascular (from Latin words meaning "heart" and "vessel" system comprises the blood, heart, and blood vessels. The lymph, lymph nodes, and lymph vessels form the lymphatic system, which returns filtered blood plasma from the interstitial fluid (between cells) as lymph.

While humans, as well as other vertebrates, have a closed cardiovascular system (meaning that the blood never leaves the network of arteries, veins and capillaries), some invertebrate groups have an open cardiovascular system. The lymphatic system, on the other hand, is an open system providing an accessory route for excess interstitial fluid to be returned to the blood.[4] The more primitive, diploblastic animal phyla lack circulatory systems.

Scientists have performed some pretty interesting studies related to the effects of dehydration on the body. In one particular study, scientists sought to uncover the effects of dehydration on the circulatory system, specifically the cerebrovascular regulation (normal brain function). In simplest terms the body is an amazing machine; one that can operate for long periods under stress and neglect (with diminished capacity over time) and it is very sensitive (treat it well and it will function well). It would appear, based on some pretty good scientific analysis, that hydration is the fuel that keeps the system in check, and keeping the system at the level of homeostasis is critical.

Truthfully​!!!! so bitter for the fool's and cursed determined to die.,...... They will perish not because they weren't warned but for death

After all do I look like a man of this world¿? I am crucified to this world and the world crucified to me, the life I have is professing the faith of the Son of God...... Where I am, there they may be, that they may see my glory which you have given me Holy father Almighty......

I am Great Topman

Sometimes ​folks think they are prepared to take a certain steps while in reality they are hundreds of miles away from readiness.. They were never ready to experience the truth. It isn't a hidden agenda that Most local Igbo boy's have been clamouring for secession



Nigeria's ethnic politics





With an estimated population of more than 180 million, Nigeria is often called the "giant of Africa". The complexity of Nigeria's population is compounded by its ethnic diversity. Around 250 ethnic groups, each with their own languages, reside in Nigeria. With a myriad of ethnicities dotted across the landscape, three major groups tend to emerge in national dialogue due to their sheer numbers: the Yoruba, from the southwest; the Hausa-Fulani in the north and the Igbo from the southeast.

Pro-Biafrans say the federal Nigerian government is discriminating and marginalising them, the Igbo people.



Perceptions of marginalisation



"The southeast feels it has been politically marginalised. There is a point to that. It has been shrunken from being one of the three major regions of the country to now being virtually a minority with the smallest number of states of the six zones in the federation," explains Nnamdi Obasi, a senior analyst at the International Crisis Group.

He says that there has only been one Igbo president and one Igbo vice president since Nigeria declared independence from the UK in 1960.

Pro-Biafrans also complain that the federal government is not funding enough infrastructure development in the region, despite a recent announcement by the federal Minister of Power, Works and Housing that road construction will be completed in the southeast.

The southeastern region of Nigeria has five states, while other regions have more.

"They certainly are at a disadvantaged position now," Obasi says. "The political configuration of the country ensures that less federal allocation gets to the southeast."

Nigeria's national economics is closely tied to its politics. Nigeria is a highly centralised federalism that relies on revenue from oil sales. Money trickles down from the central government and more money flows towards regions that have more state and local governments.


The 1966 killings began after a group of young army officers - some of whom were Igbo local champion -overthrew Nigeria's democratic government and assassinated several people, including the prime minister and other northern leaders.





Then the North retaliation



"They came with every dangerous thing, some with arrow, some with gun, some with cutlasses, some with iron. So anything they could handle, they handled it and began to kill Igbo people," says Lawrence Akpu, recalling the day in 1966 when he was in a market in a town in northern Nigeria where he lived with fellow Igbos. "Everybody started running up and down and from there, we left everything we had."

Akpu joined the mass exodus of Igbo people from northern Nigeria to their ancestral homeland in the southeast.





Kanu I believe didn't read the last war report and how the war started, yet he is about to step into the same trap foolish Ojokwu went and destroy the lives and properties of innocent people who are busy making ends meet... I really do not know why the Igbo's​ who are well traveled in history will continue to allow local minded and belly profits​ folks like Nnamdi Kanu and his blindfolded travellers to keep detecting for them or is the blood of the innocent Nigerians who were murdered ​by the senseless decision of Ojokwu crying for revenge.




The big question is what has the Igbo's given to the Nigeria and Nigerians as a national resources to share or is just agitating on the empty jangling and babbling.. I have never in the history of my entire life heard of north agitating for secession from Nigeria even though they have sustained Nigeria and Nigerians during the pre oils era. And the Yoruba too since they know that their national contribution when it comes to Natural resources is little have remained humble and calm. Or is the Igbo's banking on the oil in the Niger Delta to assert control of another man resources....






For what I have read and heard the Niger Delta have never demanded to be separated from Nigeria government, all they have been asking for is to have a control of their God Almighty given resources. What does Nnamdi Ojokwu generations wants from us

Instead of us allowing the matter to get to a stage where no one can handle it anymore, the Almighty God through the Arewa group took the first step which foolish Ojokwu couldn't take to prepare the minds ​of the Igbo's living outside southeast to do a heart test if they are ready to abandon their wealth and prosperity and to fall back into poverty and starvation and sicknesses and diseases as were formally forced into by Ojokwu and his local minded folks. No one and I repeat there is no one who can survive alone. During the last mistake...



Three years of war left southeastern Nigeria in ruins. Estimates of the death toll range from one million to six million. After the Nigerian federal military government - supported by the UK - imposed blockades that made it difficult for aid groups to deliver food and relief supplies to Biafra, many children died of kwashiorkor, a severe form of malnutrition characterised by a distended abdomen.

Igwe Christopher Ejiofor, aide-de-camp to Ojukwu throughout the war, remembers carrying nearly dead children as he helped to manage relief services.

"I can't count the number of people I picked [up] who were at the point of starvation and death," he says. "And every time I took them to the hospital, they died and I [would go] back the next day [with more children]." Igwe Ejiofor is the traditional ruler of his community in the southeastern state of Enugu.


I believe that the well traveled in history Igbo's know better than allowing a fully demon possess Nnamdi Kanu to ruin their lives and subject them to the same treatment Ojokwu subjected the whole of not only the southeast but even the Niger Delta and it's environmental responsibility..

Reason my dear brothers who are living outside of the world of stupid agitators who wants nothing but the honour of mortal. Ojokwu and I repeat and Nnamdi Kanu must reap everything they have sown in the Igbo land and Nigeria as people... Let me warn all of you supporting the useless cause...



For the record, Ojokwu started the war the first time and here is another spirit of Ojokwu through Nnamdi Kanu about to start the war again against the Nigeria government and the southeast.



Thank God Almighty it came to examination before the war. Can you be willing to abandon Everything you owned in the north to start a new life over in the East Ask them. I read that the Governor's have agreed that we all should stay together. That's brilliant and they should know better because people have invested their lives in different regions, what do you make of that. And if you eventually lives the other man's land, no one will refund you of any thing you previously owned, this is completely nonsense and not just measures.

Tell your foolish brothers to stop or if they are ever seriously of their agitation they should begin the exodus of Igbo from other people's land let us see if they can... Enough of the talk talking and no action....



God Almighty bless the Niger Delta greatest and reward them for their matured and coordinated approach...

Long live us all.

Blessed

UK Declares Support For Osinbajo Over Nigeria’s Unity

Acting President Yemi Osinbajo has received plaudits from the United Kingdom through its Nigerian high commission. The UK said it supports Osinbajo’s efforts at stemming the threatening calls for the dismemberment of the Nigerian federation.

Joe Abuku, the British High Commission’s Media Officer, in a statement on Wednesday said, “We commend and support the Acting President and all those who have opposed these statements”.

“All Nigerians are entitled to live wherever they want in Nigeria, and we support that right unequivocally.

“Statements calling for the forced removal of one group or another to another part of Nigeria are dangerous and irresponsible.

“We call for calm and for reconciliation between the many ethnic groups and communities that make up and contribute to the strength and diversity of the Federal Republic of Nigeria,” the statement further stated.
