Ogoni (folk)

I likhet med ijawene, en annen etnisk gruppe på Niger-deltaet, har ogoniene store miljømessige problemer med oljeindustrien.^{[trenger referanse]} Det bor omtrent fem millioner ogonier på et område på omkring 1050 kvadratkilometer.^{[trenger referanse]} Dette området er deres historiske hjemland og blir ofte omtalt som «Ogoni-land».
