Tinkoriko, a social cultural group, founded in 1993 by the visionary Chief Orok Duke, and it stands as a bastion dedicated to promoting harmony among youths across diverse political, social, economic, and cultural backgrounds. With an expansive membership, the group remains steadfast in its campaign against violence, cultism, drug abuse, kidnappings, human trafficking, and other societal vices, making it a pivotal force for positive change in Cross River State.

Tinkoriko’s relevance within the sociocultural landscape reached a new zenith when it was officially registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission in 2018. This milestone saw Prof. Emmanuel Eyo assume the presidency of the group, while Chief Orok Duke continued to guide its vision as Patron and Leader.

The group’s influence transcends entertainment, leaving an indelible mark on its members. Prof. Eyo, the President, noted, “Beyond entertainment, Tinkoriko has consistently awarded scholarships to registered members. We also extend our support to the less privileged and vulnerable, visiting orphanages to provide much-needed assistance.”

The inclusion of Tinkoriko in the Carnival Calabar calendar further underscores its societal importance. The group’s annual street procession, held every January 1st, is renowned as the second-largest in Cross River State after the Carnival Calabar. This vibrant parade commences at Efut Street and winds its way through major thoroughfares such as Hawkins, Chamley, Target, and Calabar Road, culminating at the Watt Market Roundabout.

Deeply rooted in traditional practices, Tinkoriko serves as a conduit for conflict resolution and community engagement. Through music, dance, and other artistic expressions, it not only preserves cultural heritage but also addresses pressing contemporary issues. The group emphasises communication, shared experiences, and cultural awareness, creating a platform where young people can connect with their roots while fostering understanding and reducing societal tensions.

By promoting inter-group relations, Tinkoriko reinforces communal values and a sense of belonging among youths, making it an indispensable tool for fostering unity and social harmony. Its traditional symbols and narratives resonate profoundly with participants, solidifying its role as a custodian of culture and an agent of peace in a rapidly evolving society.

The highly anticipated 2025 Tinkoriko street procession is scheduled for Wednesday, January 1st, 2025, with the muster point at Efut Street by Egerton in Calabar. This year’s event presents an unparalleled opportunity for youths to immerse themselves in the group’s mission of building a cohesive and prosperous community rooted in peace and harmony.

Interested participants are encouraged to register from December 15, 2024. Requirements include full names, home addresses in Nigeria, phone numbers, and passport photographs. Registration venues include No. 51 Egerton Street, Calabar South LGA, and select local government headquarters. Registered participants will receive exclusive Tinkoriko-branded T-shirts.

With the theme “Tinkoriko, Calabar Heritage: Season of Sweetness,” the 2025 celebration promises to be a cultural masterpiece, uniting the youth and reinforcing the values that make Cross River State a beacon of cultural richness and social harmony.
