The Obolo people,[1] also known as Andoni[2] or Doni, are a multi-ethnic group in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria.[3][4] Obolo people are primarily found in Rivers State and Akwa Ibom State. They are also present in the states of Bayelsa, Cross River, Abia, and Enugu.[5]
The Obolo occupy the longest stretch of the Cross River Basin of the Niger Delta mangrove belt, which also houses the largest oil and gas deposits in the Gulf of Guinea.[6][citation needed]
