I think it would be ok but since your nigerian is smaller than your mali he might not grow that fast. If you want house them together make sure they both eat the same and stay at the same weight. The first few days might be a little rough but after the first week everyone should be fine. When they eat lentils and beans that is ok because it helps them put on weight. My malis male loves them. He went from 235 to 300 within 3 1/2 months because of eating those two in his dry food bowl constantly. So it is ok if they eat it constantly.
