Ogulagha Kingdom (Ogula) is a riverine, izon and oil producing kingdom in the Burutu LGA of Delta State, Nigeria. It is located 33.3 miles from Warri. Main occupation is fishing, hunting and farming. In Ogulagha Kingdom the wet season is warm and overcast, while the drier season is mostly hot and cloudy.
The kingdom lies in an oil-producing area, with operations by Shell Petroleum Development Company (SPDC), Nigeria Agip Oil Company (NAOC), and other companies.[1][2][3] Allegations of corruption and unfair distribution of oil royalties have led to local conflict,[1] and opposition to the federal government.[3]
The area is susceptible to flooding and erosion. In 2021, it was reported that housing had been lost as a result of degradation of a 24-year-old seawall.[2]
