This article examines Nigerian feminist hashtag activism as this reveals how activists emplace and embody intersectionality in their organizings. I explore how a politics of intersectionality is institutionalized in Nigerian feminist hashtag activism on Twitter by unpacking the narratives that led to the emergence and online production of visibility for some hashtag activism that have shaped local and national politics in Nigeria. I further discuss intersectionality as a critical praxis and analytical strategy influencing activists' hashtag naming, political demands, and self-corrections in response to Nigeria's socio-cultural-political domains. As a feminist activist who has done some groundwork in Nigerian offline and digital spaces, this article draws from my participant/observer perspective
