Nigeria (not to be confused with its similar sounding and similarly-troubled neighbor Niger) is experiencing more religious violence between Muslims and Christians.
Since the unrest in Nigeria has yet to attain Third-World-Crisis-of-the-Moment status, it languishes in the doldrums of global anonymity. Lacking a Green Day song or an impassioned plea by George Clooney, the religious violence in Nigeria will likely go on unabated.
This quote from the article helps to illustrate just how deep the hostilities run within Nigeria:
An elderly woman prayed at the edge of the burial pit, chanting. “By God’s grace we will enter their villages and kill their women and children,” she repeated.
Adding to Nigeria’s sinister-quotient is the vice president (and current acting president), Goodluck Jonathan. Not only does Mr. Jonathan have the perfect name to be the arch-villain’s freakish henchman in a James Bond film, he’s got the right look, too.

“I support him 100 percent,” said Irene Folstrom, who said she dated Woods in the mid-1990s when they were undergrads at Stanford University. “Of course, he was unfaithful and he has his faults, but he is really a good person.”
One possible interpretation:
You know that Teutonic slut can’t give you what I can. Come back, Meal Ticket!

And Reuters is turning to sensationalism to sell ad space.
The illicit inhalation of household products, or huffing, can have profound and disastrous effects on users. It is axiomatic that this message be reinforced among young people, the group most likely to begin abusing inhalants. Reminding the public about the danger posed by inhalants is a laudable endeavor, but sounding the alarm for its own sake is foolish.
Are more children using inhalants now?
The rate of inhalant use of that age has remained steady over the past few years, but officials are concerned that young people increasingly do not see abusing inhalants as risky.
Oh. Inhalant abuse hasn’t increased among children, it’s just that officials are worried about it. Apparently, Reuters thinks you should be worried too. Just like with Jenkem, K2 and the Choking Game.
Could This Be Your Child? You Bet It Could!
