On January 10, 2015, a suicide bombing took place during the afternoon in a busy market in the city of Maiduguri in Nigeria. Security witnesses confirmed the suicide bomber was a young girl not aged more than ten years. She had the explosives wrapped around her body and killed sixteen people while leaving more than twenty injured. It was later confirmed that a total of twenty seven people were in the hospital. Suicide bombers had become common in Maiduguri which is a Sunni Muslim area. Nigeria has been facing many problems. Last year, about ten thousand people were killed in Nigeria. These crimes have become a heavy weight to carry for Nigeria's president Goodluck Johnathan who will be running for reelection on February 14.
The Muslims are getting rougher and more aggressive by the day. The number of deaths in Muslim territories is increasing and the terrorism and becoming more violent. A poor ten year old child was brainwashed into a suicide bombing. She had not grown, fully developed, or had experienced much of life. A soul was wasted on a pointless market attack which was was done for medias attention. There are other ways of getting attention. Taking a young girls life shows how ruthless they are. One should grow up and experience life. This girl never got to grow up and experience anything. Her life was cut short. The idea behind suicide bombing is horrible. especially when the bomber is just a child. when the bomber is a child, it is not suicide. it is murder. because the child was not old enough to realize what she was doing.
