Have you visited Asaba in your life before.
Why do you find it difficult to differentiate between STATES and ETHNIC NATIONALITY. ETHNIC nations were there before states were dubiously created.

Some of you just dey ask stupid question when it comes to matters concerning Igbo nation.When was South South created?
Illorin,Kaba,Ajaokuta which are located in Northern region is called Yorubaland but Asaba that is facing Onitsha is not Igboland because of newly created SS by Abacha regime in 1996.Make una go borrow sense.

Comprehension is really a problem.

The post didn't mention "king in Southeast "
He made mention of an ethnic region and you're another thing
