which one is correct?
Da nile isn’t a river in Egypt
Da nile isn’t JUST a river in EgyptI know it is a pun, but “da nile isn’t a river in Egypt” might make more sense to me than “da nile isn’t JUST a river in Egypt”.Because the former is not true,however the latter is true,it is exactly not Just a river in Egypt, it is also a river in Sudan,Kenya.As you know the NILE runs through ten countries. what do you think about my reasoning? thanks

You are right. the first sentence simply isn't true. The (De) Nile IS a river in Egypt. The second one is true, as you say.
Moreover, if you mean the sentence as a pun, the second is good. You could say it to a friend in this situation:
Friend: I don't love her. I feel nothing for her.
You: De Nile isn't JUST a river in Egypt. (i.e. it's ALSO what you are in regarding your feelings for this girl.)

Da nile isn’t JUST a river in Egypt.
The pun is on the word "denial". It's not just a river, it's something else, too.
