Prophet, because a poet predicts the future. Orphan, because every poet has to be alone at some point. Engineer of words, because a poet masters the usage of words or language. Teacher, because a poet must be able to teach and train others on what they've found out.

At IbaFest 2026, Mr Godson Osarenren (Founder of Naija Poetry Festival) defined POET as "Prophet, Orphan, Engineer of words, and Teacher".

A saying goes thus; “A culture that does not embrace its younger generation is a culture destined for extinction.”
IbaFest is preserving the writing culture and African cultural heritage by training young minds. This is so thoughtful. It's a thing of pride

X won't allow me express myself in long paragraphs, but yeah this is me saying I'm grateful for IbaFest 2026. My name is Grace Olatinwo; the founding editor of HIND'S FEET. At this year's IbaFest edition, HIND'S FEET (my media and publishing platform) got to cover the festival.
Ibadan Book and Arts Festival 2026 was AMAZING! 🔥
