Ogoni land lay on the slave route from the hinterland to the coastal slave markets however no Ogoni man or woman was taken as a slave. Marriage with a neighbour, except the Ibibio, was forbidden by Ogoni customs and tradition.
The British forces arrived in Ogoniland in 1901 and due to vast cultural differences, there was a huge resistance which led to wars till they wer finally subjugated in 1914.
