What’s next in Nigeria’s fight to

In the wake of last year’s #ENDSARS uprising against police corruption, a new generation of activists and instigators boldly moved Nigeria to a more optimistic and inclusive future. But where will the movement take Nigerian activism next?

In an exclusive short film extension of our summer 2021 issue story, Dafe Oboro captures pivotal voices offering fresh insight on the biggest youth movement in Nigerian history. Activists Matthew Blaise, Rinu Oduala and more reflect on the second wave protests of October 2020, the Lekki toll gate tragedy, and how a revolutionary moment can bring focus to society’s most marginalised voices.

Youth in Power is a new Dazed film series spotlighting radical movements from around the world.
