The SS and SE where a bedrock of opposition figures against British occupation with the likes of Jaja of Opobo, Nana of Itsekiri and even an OBA of Bini who was deposed and sent into exile.

Why is there no such figures against British occupation from odua?

Simply because the Yoruba welcomed the British to thwart the ongoing Jihad.

It is from the cowardly South West that the British got a foothold into Nigeria from where they besieged Bini and spread their empire eastward and northward.

Yoruba your jihad is about to restart. Say allah akbar marafarkers

remove the insults from your original post and let others respond rather answer a question posed by you or is this thread meant for tribal bashing .

don't hide under other peoples tribe to foment trouble

If you go to any major town or city in the ND you will find that prisons are located in the centre of town. Most prisons built by the British are still operational and where designated as "central" prisons.

The British built their prisons at the heart of towns in the SS and SE to show for all intending dissidents the punishment that awaits them.

This is similar to the Tower of London which was a notorious prison fortress overlooking London and reminding everyone who was in charge and what punishment awaits them if they forgot.

The prisons in the SE and SS were meant for political dissidents while that in the South West handled sociopaths and criminals and as such were sited well away from society. Another proof that shows that yoruba were criminally inclined

the south west did not resist the white that much probably because they were interested in adventure or something similar. the south east hard so many autonomous communities even till date they seem to be the only ones with autonomous communities in the country. they have always been independent minded and have not stopped craving for it.

Ok mention one pre-colonial figure from odua

Odua is not the name of any region in Nigeria and they have never tried to make it a region.

You people are so full of yourselves, but you will keep getting embarrased with facts.

Here's what Harold Smith, one of the colonial officers the British Government sent to rig Nigeria’s pre-independence elections in favour of the North, had to say about Yorubas and Awolowo resistance to British rule, FROM THE HORSE'S OWN MOUTH:

“But the British were not treated as gods by the Yoruba. In my experience, the Yoruba regarded themselves as superior to the British and one only had to read a book written by Awolowo, the Western leader, to know why. The Yoruba were often highly intelligent and they taunted the British with sending inferior people to Nigeria. The Igbo would be humble and avert his eyes in the presence of a European. The Yoruba child would look at an important European and shout, ‘Hello, white man,’ as if he were a freak.”

“Awolowo in the West had taunted the British by claiming that his government had accomplished more in the space of two or three years for his people than the British had since they arrived in West Africa.”

“The thrust of the British Government’s policy was against the Action Group led by Chief Awolowo, which ruled in the Western Region. Not only was the British Government working hand in glove with the North, which was a puppet state favoured and controlled by the British administration, but it was colluding through Okotie-Eboh with Dr. Azikiwe – Zik – the leader of the largely Igbo NCNC, which ruled in the East. We tricked Azikiwe into accepting to be president having known that Balewa will be the main man with power. Awolowo has to go to jail to cripple his genius plans for a greater Nigeria.”

Following a naval bombardment on December 26 and 27, 1851, motivated by Britain's desire for a share of regional trade, Lagos was brought under British gunboat influence. The opportunity for Britain to do this was partially created by a dispute between elements of the Lagos traditional ruling House (Kosoko and Akitoye). When Kosoko (who was allied with Portugal) refused to sign an anti-slave-trade treaty, he clashed with John Beecroft, British Consul for the Bights of Benin and Biafra, and Commodore Bruce, the naval task force commander. Kosoko's rival, Akitoye was installed as Oba of Lagos. He quickly signed the treaty.

But it was not until 1861, following a gradual erosion of the powers of the Oba, that Lagos formally became a colony and was the first part of "Nigeria" to be incorporated into the British Empire, courtesy of an agreement signed under duress by Dosunmu, Akitoye's son.

The Lagos Constabulary was formed in 1863 to police the colony, protect British traders, and handle some raids into the hinterland. It was also nicknamed "Glover's Hausas". It evolved into the Hausa Constabulary in 1865, the Lagos Constabulary in 1873, the Oil Rivers Irregulars in 1886 and the Niger Coast Constabulary (NCC) in 1891.

From May 12-15, 1892 a battalion of the NCC (which included some Ibadan soldiers) defeated a 7000 man Ijebu army in what (other than the Abeokuta expedition of 1914) was the only case of full scale war during the British conquest of core Yoruba land. The alleged offence was that the Ijebu, increasingly suspicious of British missionary and trading activities, had refused to discuss trade....

Google is your friend!

Egba United Government (EUG). This system of semiautonomous government existed from 1893 to 1914 specifically for the Egba of Abeokuta. The Alake (paramount chief of the Egba people) had central authority. The eight-member Egba Central Council (EUG) assisted the Alake. The council included a Muslim and a Christian chief. It is most associated with Gbadebo, the Alake from 1898 to 1920. The administration was small, numbering about 350 by 1908. Under the EUG's political authority, a prison was built, roads were constructed, and vaccinations were distributed ……In 1918, Egba autonomy ended, but not without great resistance. In June 1918, the Egba engaged in a war with the British called the Adubi War.

You are loser and a failure, that much I believe is obvious. You've been put to shame for being stewpid enough not to put Google to use and educate yourself adequately before embarrassing yourself by coming on this thread to spew lies.

You can go ffuck yourself and your "Crude Oil". Matter of fact, you can drink that worthless piece of shytt you call oil coz it won't be worth much in the near future any way. And oh, while you're at it you can also put your money where you mouth is by relocating yourself and your entire clansmen from Nigeria territory back to your cursed erosion-infested waste-land, maybe then we'll begin take you seriously. Ode oshi.

Yorubas were only hosting the british and as such there was no need for opposition.
