17. Might make sense if Jabo wasn't way up north.

Just south of the Sahel. There isn't a hell of a lot there. All the proven oil reserves are way down south in the Niger Delta and offshore. It might be nice to at least put some reasoning behind what they're doing. But I don't think there's much reasoning there at all. Just stupid shit from an bizarre and grossly inaccurate world view.
