#ENDSARS Demands rise from 5 to 23
Amidst information that the Federal Governments has accepted the five demands of #ENDSARS protesters, the youths who are relentless in mounting further protest across the country have raised their demands to twenty-three.
The initial demands were
1. Immediate release of all arrested protesters
2. Justice for all deceased victims of police brutality and appropriate compensations for their families.
3. Setting up an independent body to oversee the investigation and prosecution of all reported police misconduct within a period of 10 days
4. Carrying out psychological evaluation and retaining of all disbanded SARS operatives before they can be redeployed (this should be verified by an independent body).
5. The government should increase police salary and they should be adequately compensated for protecting lives and property of the citizens

9. Close our northern borders to stop free entry of fulani herdsmen and bandits
10. Inclusive government for all tribes and regions of Nigeria with 50% youths in charge of governance

23. Name and shame looters and make criminal offenders, and looters face trial in their home states and villages to shame them and their families
24. Stop foreign medical trips for public servants. Let them be treated here in Nigeria.
The protesters say these are things the Federal Government must do before they can end the lockdown protests.
I am in total support of all the demands.
This must be the beginning of GREATER things to come
If not now, then when? Enough is enough.
Nos. 4 & 5 is one sentence, nos. 6 & 8 could have been merged to make one number. There will be more demands on on government untill this government is toppled. The whole ideal goes beyond end sars. Unfortunately, government is not reading the hand writing on the wall as occasioned by the agreement reach with ASUU which ASUU has repudiated. I don’t see Universities reopening before first quarter 2021. This is the time to know whether the present government has political surgeons. If it does, the present situation will not snowball to a full fledge revolution. If it does not, the present situation will in the words of J. S. Tarka set a chain of reactions the end of which no one can fortell.
Every households must be metered and all outstanding debt on old meter inform estimations should be wipe off for a fresh start as soon as meter is made available
Wow. ……..this is exactly what I have been waiting for,I love this
