Reverend Hope Masterton Waddell (14 November 1804 – 18 April 1895) was an Irish medical missionary in Jamaica and Calabar, Nigeria.
Waddell gives an account of this in Twenty-nine years in the West Indies and Central Africa: a review of missionery work and adventure.
[3] In 1847 he moved the mission to Creek Town and worked educating the local population, teaching them English and converting them to Christianity.
He made attempts to stop the practice of infanticide in the area, building a settlement for twins and their mothers so as to isolate them from the rest of the population, and allowing them to live.
[5] While in Nigeria he learned Efik and built a relationship with King Eyo Honesty II, the ruler of the area at the time.
