Terrorist Attack In Nigeria.

British authorities were warned about a terrorist attack that would occur in the 50^th anniversary of Nigeria’s Independence. This event was later hit by three car bombs. These explosions that occurred after the main militant group in the oil-rich southern delta sent an e-mail out threatening what would happen in the festival and told authorities to evacuate people. “Nigerian newspaper This Day, citing sources, said the government had failed to avert the attack despite receiving a warning from British Intelligence.” The third explosion, which was a smaller explosion was nearby Eagle Square, where President Goodluck Jonathan sat with several Nigerian and foreign dignitaries. These attacks killed twelve people and injured seventeen people.

These attacks keep the natives of Nigeria worried.  Especially now, that their oil production has climbed from about 1.6 barrels a day to 2m now. Like the article states, the return of violence could have some effects on Nigeria’s economic growth. If the attacks continue to happen many people would be too scared and do their regular routines. Less people would go out and enjoy themselves, some may even stop going to work, which means less production of oil for their economy to grow.
