I keep seeing questions on what next, this is my own 2 cents.
I think we should change how we protest. The government has said they are doing something, let us give them like 3 weeks to see if they will make change.

When (because I highly doubt they will do anything) the three weeks or whatever time is up, we can head back to the streets. We will be even more justified in being back there. The international community is watching us right now so that can help with accountability.
In the meantime, we educate. In various languages, we must educate people on what the protest is about, what we are fighting for, where we are going with the protests and how it will benefit them. Creating tribal and religious divides is one of their tactics.
Education is the only way to combat that. Use social media, send informative graphics via whatsapp, have flyers that people can take to markets and public places to speak to the general public. Have numbers where people can call for more info, maybe even a website.
Educate people on what happened in the last two weeks, the accountability of @feminist_co with the finances, let them know that money is not Nigeria's problem. Let them know how @EndSarsResponse was able to get people medical and legal help very quickly.
Let them know their rights as a citizen. And most importantly, they should understand the effects of being used by the government to push agenda, how 2K doesn't go very far, how they intentionally keep people poor and uneducated so they don't know what they deserve.
It won't convert everyone, but it will for a lot of people.
When the time given to the government is over, more people will be informed of what really going on and will be able to join the protests peacefully.

We should also continue to raise funds as many people have been seriously affected by the last 2 weeks, especially these few days that have gone by.
What next? To me it's education
