Ogoni Land
Ogoni Land is a region located in the southeastern part of Nigeria, primarily within Rivers State. It is home to the Ogoni people, an ethnic group known for their rich culture and history. The area is characterized by its lush vegetation, rivers, and diverse wildlife, making it an important ecological zone.
The region gained international attention due to environmental issues caused by oil extraction by companies like Shell.
