Can you really refer to them as South East? Looking at this Nigerian #Map, You will find out that 1.The Southwest of Nigeria at least has a boundary with #Benin Republic. 2. The Northwest of Nigeria has a boundary with at least #Niger Republic. 3. The Northeast of Nigeria has boundary with at least Republic of #Cameroon 4. And then we have Northcentral.
