King Malabo II was considered the spiritual father of the Bubi people, leading circle of elder advisers whose animist rites focused on the cult of Morim - the supreme being and creator of the universe. In 1973, Francisco Macías Nguema in his policy of Africanizing the names of geographic landmarks in Equatorial Guinea, changed the name of Santa Isabel, the capital of Equatorial Guinea to Malabo in honor of his father King Malabo.
