Some target resource control, others championed the protection of ethic interest while some were directed toward environmental control and management of harms arising from oil exploration in the region. It is apparent that oil related conflicts in the Niger Delta are induced by oil politics among the ruling elites at the central authority and their agents at the regional level in which oil bearing communities exist. The paper used explorative analysis. It explored oil politics and related conflicts in the Niger Delta, debates on causes of oil related conflicts in the Niger Delta, causes of the conflicts in Ogoni land as well as the impacts of the conflicts on Ogoni land and people. It found that oil related conflicts in the Niger Delta are not rebellion but struggles for social, economic and political emancipation of people of the oil bearing communities in the region. Unjust distributive revenue allocation formula from oil earnings is part of the major causes of oil related conflicts in the region. Economic sabotage, sexual violence, insecurity, loss of lives and destruction of properties are not only the indicators of oil related conflicts in the Niger Delta but were also discovered as the impacts of the conflicts on the region, Ogoni land and people in particular. Equity and fair revenue allocation formula which recognized increased derivational principle to oil bearing communities in revenue allocation formula as found out will go a long way in ameliorating the problem of oil related conflicts in the Niger Delta.
