Talk:Ogoni people

As an Ogoni person now living in the United state, the first Ogoni day was held on the 4th day of January 1993 and not 3rd January 1993 as recorded in your article. Signed Ndem Oduu

Ogoni refers to both the people and there homeland (according to the article). Ogoni and Ogoniland both redirect here to Ogoni People. We should either rename the title and include the geographical material or separate it and change the redirects. RJFJR (talk) 17:04, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

Ogoni population
This article has a problem with giving the population of the Ogonis. In the text, its says 1.5 Million. In the table it says 850,000. In the footnotes, it says that there are many estimates, and cites "over 20 million"; Nzewi (quoted in Agawu), p. 31, says "about 15 million"; Okafor, p. 86, says "about twenty-five million"; Okpala, p. 21, says "around 30 million"; and Smith, p. 508, says "approximately 20 million". Can somebody provide a more accurate and helpful number?--94.208.75.76 (talk) 23:27, 30 October 2012 (UTC)
