#2 They should be careful what they wish for.

Nigeria is Africa's most populous country, with 155m people, only half of which are Muslim. Of course, this could be an ethnographic fight as well, and they tend to be a lot bloodier.

The Kanuri people in the northeast were an Islamic empire (Kanem-Bornu empire) from about the year 1000, and ruled most of central Africa, so they are probably the serious instigators in this.
