Eyo Honesty II (né Eyo Eyo Nsa; c. 1788–1835) was the ruler of Creek Town from 1835 until his death on 3 December 1858.[1][2] Creek Town was part of the Efik city-states of the Old Calabar province in the Bight of Biafra.[7] Eyo was born into the family of Eyo Nsa and Inyang Esien Ekpe.[1] His father Eyo Nsa, alias Willy Eyo Honesty or Eyo Willy Honesty, was one of the prominent figures of the 18th century in Efik maritime history.[1] His mother, Princess Inyang Esien Ekpe, was the daughter of Esien Ekpe Oku (alias Iyamba I).[1]
King Eyo Honesty's reign saw changes to the religious life of Creek Town and Old Calabar. He is credited as having aided in the invitation of the Christian missionaries to the Old Calabar region, which further aided in the establishment of Christianity across the Cross River region.[8] Eyo was also instrumental in the abolition of practices such as the killing of twins and human sacrifices.[9][10] On his death, he was succeeded by his son Eyo Eyo Ita, who became King Eyo Honesty III.[4]
