High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Niger Delta, the delta of the Niger River in Nigeria, is a densely populated region sometimes called the Oil Rivers because it was once a major producer of palm oil. The area was the British Oil Rivers Protectorate from 1885 until 1893, when it was expanded and became the Niger Coast Protectorate. View of the Niger Delta from space. North is on the left. The Niger Delta, as now defined officially by the Nigerian Government, extends over about 70,000 km² and makes up 7.5% of Nigeria?s land mass. Historically and cartographically, it consists of present day, Bayelsa, Delta and Rivers State. In the year 2000, however, Obansanjo's regime expanded its definition to include Abia, Akwa-Ibom, Cross River State, Edo, Imo and Ondo States. Some 31 million people of more than 40 ethnic groups including the Efik, Ibibio Annang, Oron, Ijaw, Itsekiri, Igbo, Urhobo, and Kalabari, are among some who speak about 250 dialects in the Niger Delta.
