What #EndSARS left behind in Nigeria's young generation
Original: What #EndSARS left behind in Nigeria: A generation caught between protest, politics, and departure
Five years after the #EndSARS protests against police brutality, Nigeria's young activists are described as a generation caught between continued political engagement and growing plans to leave the country. The movement, which peaked in October 2020 with mass demonstrations and the Lekki tollgate shootings, has faded as organised protest, but its legacy shapes debates about governance, youth disillusionment, and emigration driven by economic hardship and insecurity.
Why now: Ongoing frustration with insecurity, unemployment and governance keeps Nigerians revisiting the EndSARS legacy and its unfulfilled demands.
