Ogoni Land

Ogoni Land is a region in southeastern Nigeria, home to the Ogoni people and rich in oil resources. Since oil extraction began in the 1950s, it has brought economic benefits but also environmental damage, including pollution and land degradation, harming local communities and ecosystems. The Ogoni have sought greater environmental protection and political rights, leading to activism and conflicts with oil companies and the government. Their struggle highlights issues of resource management, environmental sustainability, and the rights of indigenous communities in resource-rich areas.
