Naija Poetry Fest (NPF) Community is a fast-growing 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.
