Detailed origin and functionality of Demfati, an e-ticketing and event management platform. Founded by brothers Emmanuel and Gracious Ekunke, Demfati emerged from their investigation into Google deranking issues that plagued African businesses in 2017. The platform aims to centralize various event-related tasks, such as ticket sales, registrations, and voting, which were previously scattered across multiple services. It is highlighted for its automation, cross-platform integration with popular messaging apps, and its current operation without external funding, having processed over 20,000 tickets.

Nigeria’s event ticketing market is evolving fast in 2025. Event organizers are demanding more than just ticket sales, they want automation, local payment support, fraud prevention, and quick payouts. With several strong platforms competing for dominance, Demfati is emerging as one of the most exciting options, thanks to its unique chatbot integration and new instant payout system for verified organizers.
