How to tell your parents about #EndSARS

1. Show them the videos of other parents who have lost their kids
2. Tell them your experience.
3. Send them WhatsApp BC. I have 2 templates if you want
4. Name drop your friends who have been picked up or brutalized by SARS. Preferably the ones they use as an example
5. Show them the videos of what SARS are doing to protesters
6. If they are religious, show them videos by Pst Adeyemi and quote relevant bible verses for them
7. Explain #5For5 and make sure they know we are fighting for our lives and fighting for them too.
8. Remind them about when you or the family needed police help and police didn’t have resources to help, they show them how police have been treating protesters
9. Tell them we are fighting for the police too but the police are killing us for fighting for them and the government is lying to them. Show them CNN and BBC news and tell them to pray for you because you might be next. Tina’s parents and Jimohs parents prayed for them but SARS still killed them, so they should tell their friends too and take action.
