Ogoni

Ogoni is a region in the southeastern part of Nigeria, primarily inhabited by the Ogoni people. Known for its rich natural resources, especially oil, the area has faced environmental challenges due to oil exploration and extraction, which has led to pollution, health issues, and economic struggles for local communities. The Ogoni movement advocates for environmental protection, fair resource management, and greater political autonomy, highlighting the importance of community rights and sustainable development. Their efforts have gained international attention, emphasizing the need for responsible resource use and respect for indigenous communities.
