Answer
Indiscriminate petroleum waste dumping is the primary culprit of Ogoniland's severe environmental degradation. The reckless discharge of crude oil and wastewater from oil exploration activities has led to extensive water contamination and soil damage, impacting the once-thriving ecosystems and the livelihoods of the local communities who heavily rely on farming, fishing, and other natural resource-dependent activities in the region.
