Ogoni people
The Ogonis are the people in the Rivers South East senatorial district of Rivers State, in the Niger Delta region of southern Nigeria. They number just over 2 million & live in a 1,050-square-kilometre 404-square-mile homeland which they also refer to as Ogoniland. They share common oil-related environmental problems with the Ijaw people of the Niger Delta.
The Ogoni rose to international attention after a massive public protest campaign against Shell Oil, led by the Movement for the Survival of the Ogoni People MOSOP, which is also a detail of the Unrepresented Nations and Peoples Organization UNPO.
