Tinkoriko Calabar Heritage: Addressing Recent Allegations and Defending Our Cultural Legacy

The leadership of Tinkoriko Calabar Heritage has noted the allegations and discussions surrounding an incident that allegedly occurred on Target Road in Calabar on 1st January 2025. While we empathize with any individual who has experienced hardship, it is imperative to address the baseless accusations against our movement and clarify our position as an organization dedicated to cultural preservation, not violence or criminality.

Tinkoriko Calabar Heritage exists to showcase the rich cultural heritage of Cross River state. Our values are rooted in discipline, unity, and the celebration of tradition. It is unfortunate that isolated acts of indiscipline, which we have no control over, are being used to tarnish the image of an organization that has worked tirelessly to foster cultural pride.

One Queensley Offiong-Etim Bassey’s spurious and malicious accusations are unsubstantiated and riddled with inconsistencies. For example, she fails to provide evidence that the individuals involved in the alleged incident are bona fide members of Tinkoriko. It is worth noting that the streets are public, and unauthorized persons often exploit our parades for ulterior motives.

It is troubling to see that individuals like Queensley, a bitter and malicious and PDP woman Leader, have publicly faced criticism for substandard services in the past, are attempting to shift attention by fabricating stories. One must not forget the infamous incident on Easter Sunday, 2022, where a dead gecko was found in her Afang soup. And incessant occasions were cockroaches and flies were discovered in her Ekpang Nkukwo and Fisherman soup from her “mama-put” establishment.

We encourage constructive dialogue rather than the spread of falsehood and abject be******ty, that harm our collective heritage.

We, therefore, appeal to members of the public to refrain from baseless accusations and instead partner with Tinkoriko (32 years: 1993-2025 is no mean feat).

As an organization, Tinkoriko is committed to upholding its legacy as a peaceful and socio-cultural movement.

Tinkoriko Calabar Heritage is a beacon of unity and cultural expression in Cross River state. We will not allow malicious narratives to distract us from our mission of preserving and celebrating our heritage. Let us all strive for truth, dialogue, and collective responsibility as we continue to showcase the beauty of our culture to the world.

Signed,
Prof. Emmanuel Eyo Esq.
President

Calabar —Scholars, cultural enthusiasts, and stakeholders gathered at the Axari Hall and Conference Center in Calabar for a seminar exploring the rich heritage of Nsibidi, an ancient African ideographic writing system. The event which held on Friday aimed to revive interest in Nsibidi's cultural, historical, and artistic significance while promoting its contemporary relevance NEGROIDHAVEN can report.

The public seminar on Nsibidi which aimed at discovering the rich heritage of the indigenous ideographic system featured a distinguished lineup of speakers, including Prof. Ivor Miller of MIT, Dr. Maxwell Eba, Holyns Hogan and Dr. Gingeme Nnochiri from the University of Calabar, among others. HRH Etubom (Arc) B.E. Ndem, the event's moderator, underscored the importance of preserving Nsibidi as a cornerstone of African identity.

In his opening remarks, Etubom Ndem a cultural enthusiast highlighted the urgency of reviving forgotten aspects of African heritage. "Nsibidi once served as a lingua franca, enabling communication across diverse communities. Its unique ability to convey universal concepts through ideographic symbols makes it a treasure we must safeguard and digitize for future generations," he said.

Speakers emphasized the dual nature of Nsibidi—its mundane elements accessible to all and its sacred aspects reserved for initiates of traditional societies. They also discussed plans to digitize Nsibidi to ensure its survival in the modern era, making it accessible to scholars and the global community.

Holyns Hogan, a scholar and keynote speaker advocated for incorporating Nsibidi into academic curricula. "While the esoteric aspects remain restricted, the visual and cultural elements of Nsibidi can be taught in schools to inspire pride in African heritage," he said.

The seminar also addressed the economic potential of Nsibidi, including its application in cultural tourism and digital innovation. Prof. Miller called for greater collaboration between academia and government to popularize Nsibidi globally.

On his part, Dr Maxwell Eba of the Department of History and International Studies, University of Calabar who observed that the Efik Eburutu ethnic group, in contrast with other ethnicities in southern Nigeria and Cameroon, has projected the ideals and values of Ekpe confraternity unprecedentedly, however noted that contentions about which ethnicity originated Nsibidi is unnecessary. Dr Eba rather called for initiatives to define the future of Nsibidi.

The event concluded with a call to action for policymakers, educators, and cultural institutions to support initiatives that preserve and promote the African heritage. Participants expressed hope that efforts to digitize Nsibidi would lead to its recognition as a global cultural asset.

Colours of Cross River 2024 Kicks Off with Celebration of History, Art, and Culture

The official opening ceremony of the 2024 edition of the Colours of Cross River State art, craft, and cultural exhibition was held today at the historic Calabar Sports Club 1898. The event, convened by journalist and cultural advocate Effiong Nyong, is a unique celebration of the rich history, heritage, and artistic vibrancy of Cross River State NEGROIDHAVEN can say.

Now in its third edition, this year’s exhibition, themed around "130 Years of Educational and Sporting History in Nigeria," pays tribute to the Hope Waddell Training Institution, one of Nigeria’s oldest schools, established in 1895. Visitors are treated to historical memorabilia, including trophies won before the amalgamation of Nigeria’s protectorates, alongside contemporary art from the National Gallery of Art and works by local masters of paint and sculpture.

Effiong Nyong, the visionary behind the initiative, emphasized the importance of the exhibition in preserving and promoting the often-overlooked aspects of Cross River’s cultural identity. “We’ve been doing Carnival Calabar for years, but many aspects of our history and heritage are not captured or represented. This exhibition provides a platform for citizens to tell our stories, celebrate our past, and showcase our unique heritage to the world,” Nyong said.

Highlights of the event included:
- Food Tasting: An exploration of Cross River’s culinary diversity.
- Art and Craft Exhibitions: Featuring both historical artifacts and contemporary works.
- Fashion Shows: Displaying traditional and modern attire.
- Spoken Word & Music Performances: Celebrating the oral traditions of the region.
- Film Screening: The first public showing of Mutanda Oyom Nnamondo, an epic movie filmed over two decades ago.

The exhibition featured historical memorabilia, including trophies won before the amalgamation of Nigeria’s Northern and Southern Protectorates, as well as contemporary art from the National Gallery of Art. Visitors can also experience Mutanda Oyom Nnamondo, a film that has not been screened since it was shot over 20 years ago, adding a cinematic dimension to the event.

Reflecting on the journey of Colours of Cross River, Nyong recalled the challenges of organizing the inaugural exhibition, which focused on Fernandez Studio, a historic photography studio established in Calabar in 1926. The second edition, held in 2023, celebrated the Calabar Sports Club's founding in 1898, further solidifying the event’s commitment to unearthing hidden historical gems.

Despite minimal government support, the exhibition has thrived as a self-funded initiative driven by passion and a sense of duty to Cross River’s heritage. “We are not at variance with the government; we are simply complementing their efforts. This is a give-back to the society we grew up in, and it’s about telling our stories ourselves,” Nyong explained.

The 2024 edition also shines a spotlight on artistic pioneers from the region, including sculptors and painters whose works have gained national and international acclaim but remain underrecognized locally. “There’s so much about the way we live and the stories we carry that are not being told. This exhibition is our effort to tell those stories authentically,” Nyong added.

The event promises a one-of-a-kind experience, combining historical chronicles, artistic masterpieces, and cultural vibrancy, allowing visitors to “feel the excitement and experience like royalty.”

Other commentators observed that Colours of Cross River has become a vital platform for promoting the state’s heritage beyond the widely celebrated Carnival Calabar, because it complements government efforts while remaining a citizen-driven initiative funded and supported by passionate individuals.

Visitors were encouraged to attend and experience the vibrancy, history, and artistry that define Cross River State. As Nyong puts it, “This is a one-of-a-kind opportunity to feel the excitement and live like royalty, celebrating the colours of our heritage.”

Gov. Otu Flags-off Hydrographic Geophysical, Geotechnical Survey of Bakassi Deep Seaport Project

A vital step towards realizing the dream of constructing the Bakassi Deep Seaport was taken on Saturday by Governor Bassey Otu of Cross River State as he officially flagged off the hydrographic geophysical, and geotechnical survey for the Bakassi Deep Seaport Integrated Project. The ceremony took place, first, at the NNS Victory Base in Calabar and later on the high sea, around Parrot and Tomshot Islands, Cross River waterways, where the survey will take place.

The hydrographic geophysical and geotechnical survey which is handled by the National Hydrographic Agency and expected to last for about four months, will provide critical data on soil composition, water depth, and other geotechnical parameters needed for the construction of the port, ensuring its structural integrity and functionality.

Flagging off the survey, the Governor said the watershed event marks “a major milestone in the economic and social landscape of Cross River State and depicts the importance his administration places on the economic revitalization agenda."

The Governor noted that the flag-off exercise came on the heels of the recent stakeholder engagement, which outlined the project’s engagement path with communities in the project’s area of influence, specifically regulators, maritime security interests, host communities, media, financiers, investors, the public sector, civil society, youth groups, traditional institutions, and religious leaders, noting that the milestone event takes stakeholders closer to the realization of the Bakassi Deep Seaport dream.

He noted that Cross River State has a strategic coastal location and is blessed with a rich blue economy, with all the accompanying aquatic resources.

“The development of the Bakassi Deep Seaport has therefore become imperative and is justified considering the need to increase port capacity in the country and within this corridor on the one hand, and to alleviate current port congestion and make Nigeria the trans-shipment hub in the sub-Saharan Africa region.”

“This flag-off of the hydrographic geophysical, and geotechnical survey for the Bakassi Deep Seaport signals a pivotal moment for Cross River State and a step forward in the march towards the actualization of this dream project,” he remarked.

He thanked the Nigerian Navy, the Chief of Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Emmanuel Ikechukwu Ogalla, the Federation’s Chief Hydrographer/CEO of the National Hydrographic Agency, the AFREXIMBANK, ARISE-IIP, and a host of others for the trust and partnership to deliver the task at hand and bring the dream of the deep seaport to reality.

“The beginning of this survey phase today is evidence of these collaborations. We are using state-of-the-art technology and knowledge to ensure the survey satisfies international standards by working with the National Hydrographic Agency. Additionally, this collaboration has been economical, saving the residents of Cross River State billions of naira while producing excellent outcomes. The Bakassi Deep Seaport will symbolize the remarkable achievements that are possible when we unite behind a shared vision.

“Secondly, the project will revolutionize Cross River State, transforming it into a hub of economic prosperity and technological innovation. Beyond facilitating trade, it will support industries such as manufacturing, logistics, and tourism, uplifting communities and positioning our state as a leader in Nigeria’s economic resurgence.

“At the national level, the project’s impact will extend beyond Cross River to neighboring states and sub-regional economies, as they will share in the prosperity it generates. By enhancing trade, fostering connectivity, and creating shared opportunities, we are laying the foundation for the collective economic growth of these regions.

In his goodwill message, the Chief of Naval Staff, Rear Admiral Emmanuel Ikechukwu Ogalla, represented by Rear Admiral Saheed Adeshina Akinwade, averred that the flag-off ceremony for the hydrographic geophysical, and geotechnical survey for the proposed Bakassi Deep Seaport marks the start of an ambitious and transformative project that has all the trappings to reshape the entire Gulf of Guinea.

He, on behalf of the Nigerian Navy, extended gratitude to Governor Otu for his visionary leadership and unwavering commitment to creating economic opportunities for the people.

“The maritime domain serves as a lifeline for commerce, security, and national prosperity. It is essential for fostering economic growth. It is through well-protected and well-charted waters that nations like Nigeria can fully harness the potentials of their coastal resources. Therefore, this project is not only crucial to the economic future of Nigeria but to the entire sub-Saharan Africa,” the FOC said.

Earlier in his keynote address, the Federation’s Hydrographer and Chief Executive Officer of the National Hydrographic Agency, Rear Admiral Ayo Olugbode, articulated that the geophysical and geotechnical survey for the Bakassi Deep Seaport project kick-started today marks a milestone not just for Cross River State but the entire nation.

He maintained that the project represents a bold and determined step towards unlocking the immense potentials of our maritime domain for socio-economic development.

“I wish to extend my deep appreciation once again for championing a transformative initiative that is not just in building a seaport but in driving the growth of maritime trade in the entire sub-region. I also want to commend the Nigerian Navy for their unwavering support in ensuring the security and operational success of this project,” he noted.

The Surveyor General of Cross River State, Mr. Patrick Bassey, and the Senior Special Adviser to the Governor of Cross River State on International Cooperation and Investments, Reverend Victor Edet, also spoke at the event, restating the present administration's commitment to bringing the project to fruition.

The high points of the event were the signing of the memorandum of cooperation between the Cross River State Government and the Nigerian Navy. The Governor also took time to inspect some of the state-of-the-art equipment that is to be deployed by the Navy for the survey.
