Ezewuzie01:
The north should ask God for forgiveness their wickedness is too much. As they are scheming to shortchange the south of its human and natural resources, that's how their own abode is being ravaged by insecurity so terrible that no investor want to go there again.

The north cannot eat its cake and have it. Allow the south to control its God-given resources because God does not approve of injustice.
