Feminist and queer advocacies in Nigeria have resulted in a wave of radical care praxis due to backlash against members, sociopolitical upheaval, and burnout from ceaseless activist labor. This article discusses how conversations and cultures of radical care are transforming feminist and women's rights collectives and more heterogenous activist groups. It engages a critical synthesis of interviews and personal communications with ten Nigerian feminist and women's rights activists dedicated to various social issues. The findings from this article address undertheorized dynamics of Nigeria's young women and feminist labor, including their subversive reconstruction of radical care as a sustainable and political act, the limits to their feminist labor, and their challenges to the provision and reception of radical care
