About us

Yemipoet Creation is the registered name for Yemipoet contest, 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, the Yemipoet Contest has given birth to the Yacso Foundation, a nonprofit organization that oversees the Yemipoet Contest. The Yacso Foundation champions school/community outreaches to foster self-expression and mental health, teaching poetry and storytelling, and inspiring social change. 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.

Grateful beyond words for a parent who chose to invest in me. Because when you educate a girl, you don’t just change one life, you change families, communities, and the future itself. Girls’ education means choice. It means health, confidence, leadership, and the freedom to dream bigger. It strengthens economies, reduces inequality, and builds societies where everyone can thrive. And it’s more than a seat in a classroom, it’s safety, support, and the courage to pursue any path, even the ones we’re told aren’t meant for us. Here’s to parents who believe, and to a world that educates every girl. #EducateAGirl #GratefulHeart #InvestInGirls #GirlChildEducation #yemipoetIn the process of becoming, competition quietly steals your focus from growth to comparison. When you measure yourself against others instead of your own progress, learning turns into anxiety and potential turns into pressure. #competition #notocomparison #yemipoetOne person starts history. History is never born from a crowd; it begins when a single individual chooses to act. Be the beginning. #yemipoet #historyinthemaking #daretobedifferent #daretodreamagainToday, i choose to plant seeds that bloom tomorrow. #speakinglife #yemipoet #spokenword #2026newyear❤️Yemipoet February Poetry Contest 2026 Theme: Love Vows: An Expression of Promises Choose one of the following perspectives: Love vows between lovers at the altar Love vows between a parent and child Love vows between your present self and your future self Create and share a 60–90 second duet poetry video on your Instagram page and collaborate with @yacsofoundation. This is a beautiful opportunity to connect and create with a fellow poet, so relax, express yourself, and enjoy the process. #yemipoet #lovevows #poetrycommuníty #spokenwordpoetry #yacsofoundationToday i let my words carry the light i wish to see. i speak *water* to the rusted pipe, *flour* to the empty mill. i greet the new sun with a name it has forgotten: *ìfé.* Poem written by @favizord #speaklife #poetrycommunity #spokenwordspoetry #yemipoet
