Nobody would be worse off for being separated from the North.

This Southern Sudan talk is an aberration that you people keep pushing like it& #39;s the general pattern of state breakups. https://twitter.com/MrOdanz/status/1249756530137841670">https://twitter.com/MrOdanz/s...

All you need to do is look at the map and study the people in the SE and their neighbors.

To one side, you have the Middle-Belt and the SS is on the other side.
Trade and Industry would be the focus.

What does a separation from the North cost anyone here?

And a separation means that there would be no Northern-dominated army to force the SS to share oil so everyone else would get to work.

SW would get working.
SS would do same.

Middle-Belt would flourish as a food source and base for agro-allied activity.
