#ENDSARS!

Widespread protests over Nigeria's hated Special Anti-Robbery Squad (Sars) are a sign that the country's massive young population is finding its voice and demanding reforms in Africa's most populous country, which has been characterised by poor governance since its independence 60 years ago.
Despite forcing the president to disband the unit, they are not satisfied as they want total police reforms and for officers in the rogue department to face justice.
But it goes beyond this because the wave of protests has given a platform to a section of the country's young population who are deeply dissatisfied.
On the streets, those marching are mostly comfortably-off young people, some with dyed hair, pierced noses and tattooed bodies.
It is the sort of gathering that security personnel are quick to label criminals, but in truth, these are largely hard-working young people who have mostly had to fend for themselves without support from the state.
