Naija Poetry Fest (NPF) Community is a thriving community of bright, enthusiastic poets, spoken word artists, writers and lovers of poetry. It was founded by Godson Osarenren, one of Nigeria’s leading Page Poets and author of the 100-poem collection, Bush Radio. For us, poetry is king, so crowned in our hearts.
Our Community Activities
Ours is indeed a vibrant poetry community with various poetic expressions on a daily basis. We give room to every member of the community to express their gifts and skills in a variety of poetic expressions, including page poetry, spoken word poetry, rap, collaborative poetry and much more.
Here’s a breakdown of our community activities:
Picture Prompt Poetry
They say a picture says a thousand words, on Mondays in Naija Poetry Fest Community, this saying proves true. Our brilliant poets craft creative, poetic masterpieces inspired by a thought provoking picture.
Join us to witness how a single picture can birth a thousand, nay thousands, of riveting poetic words and verses.

Our Media Team
At the heart of our storytelling is a dynamic Media Team led by the talented Bassey Anthony Godwin, popularly known as MR BAG. With a passion for visual storytelling and a deep understanding of the poetic imagination, the team transforms ideas, emotions and stories into compelling cinematic experiences.
Our journey began with Breaking Free (2025), the team’s inaugural short film. The film follows struggling poets who find solace and healing through their shared passion for poetry, confronting personal demons, discovering their voices and ultimately rising together.
In 2026, the team followed with Trauma, another powerful short film exploring the emotional scars that shape our lives and the possibilities of healing through art, expression and human connection.
Through film, photography and digital storytelling, our Media Team continues to expand the reach of poetry beyond the page and the stage. We are not just documenting stories. We are creating them. Some things are cooking in the kitchen 😋 for 2027 in commemoration of World Poetry Day. 🙌🏽💪✌️🌹👊🏾
Join us on this creative journey.
