A friend of mine who lives in Nigeria sent this to me. This happened in (Jos) Plateau State in Nigeria.

Attackers shot dead at least 36 people and destroyed buildings in a night raid on a village near the central Nigerian city of Jos, officials said, in an area hit by repeated ethnic clashes.

The gunmen went house to house killing residents in Yelwa Zangam late on Tuesday, a military spokesman said. Troops struggled to get to the area as a bridge had been destroyed, he added.

Jos is the capital of Plateau State - part of Nigeria's so-called Middle Belt which has seen regular fighting between the Hausa-Fulani group, who dominate the whole of northern Nigeria, and a number of much smaller local ethnic groups.

Plateau State Governor Simon Lalong described the attack as a "barbaric act", and said security forces had arrested 10 suspects and were pursuing others.

1918-1920 was much worse. The Spanish flu killed at least 17 million and World War I killed another 20 million. And then WWII just twenty years later killed another 50 million.

So really, this isn’t so bad.

Maybe we can drop some nukes and make things interesting. And just think of all the great videos that would come out of a nuclear Holocaust!
