Huh, N. Nigeria and N. Sudan are starting to look very similar.

As much I love my Nigerian brothers in the north, they don't love us. We better split this country before they try a 'darfur'!

The truth of the matter is we northerners have a lot in common with the sudanese,egyptians, senegales and others through the conglomorate of tribes living peacefuly togther in the North.
