About us

Yemipoet Creation is a creative platform that organizes contests, promotes emerging talents, and envisions a future in publishing.


Yemipoet fosters creativity and connection among poets in Nigeria. Through monthly themed competitions, each drawing over 200 entries from poets. These themes often align with cultural, spiritual, and real-life issues, as well as the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including gender equality, zero hunger, climate action, and social justice. The top three winners are awarded cash prizes, cultivating a competitive yet supportive community.

More than a platform, Yemipoet is a movement that uses the power of words to inspire, educate, and ignite action. At its heart lies the Yemigoldentouch Initiative, our partner NGO dedicated to creating real-world impact through targeted outreach aligned with Sustainable Development Goals 2 and 4, specifically Zero Hunger and Quality Education. 

Whether you’re here to read, perform, or create change, I welcome you into my world of rhythm and responsibility.
