The Nigerian Nation's emergency management agency says that at least 118 have died from the bombing that took place the Nigerian City of jos, there has been no other attacks since April 14th, that's when a bus stop was attacked. The first blast took place near a busy market, which local woman love to shop at, which making the 118 remains mostly woman. The second attack took place near a Hospital, and over 56 people were injured in these blasts. No party of any sort have admitted that they have done these terrible deed. Also the intervals between the blasts was 30 mins making some of the injured are the medics and rescue worker sent to help the survivors. Today, the parliament approved a half-year extension of the emergency status in these three states - Adamawa, Borno and Yobe. All in all more than 1000 people have been killed by attacks all over the country.
I think that this is a terrible thing to happen in the world, as these things goes on, like terrorist attacks and such, it makes us realize that we are not safe even with our door locked. Monthly 1000s of people are dying in the country, its a huge number considering its population, the government should really do something to change this fact, as if it get worse, the whole country could fall into years of depression and violence, as citizens tries to get control of the country. All in all this incident is a tragic one and it should be remembered, also the government of this country must do something about this incident, or else its just going to get worse.
