Abstract

Social media (SM) has provided everyone with a tool to air their unhindered views, especially in conservative societies. This research analyzes the 1,090 tweets of certain Nigerian feminists/activists during the 13-day October 2020 #EndSARS protests. The analysis investigates the content of the women's tweets thematically by identifying their most used words vis-a-vis their corresponding values. These words were then used to interpret the messages being conveyed, how SM impacts feminist leadership, and the temperaments of these women. The analysis also compares the social classes of the women based on their profiles, the intersection of feminism, political activism, and how SM has become a tool for unhindered feminism.
