Delulu

What does that mean?

I don't doubt you there is this young teenage girl that lives close to our company in imo state,she is so light skinned that her eyes are blue in colour,infact you will mistake her for a mulatto but her mother is black and her father even blacker than black,the best a d only explanation is that the whitemans Gene is still running amock

How's that gene still present when you claimed it's from Europeans? How many women did these Europeans ràpe or "marry"? Where is it spread all over groups speaking igboid language? From Ebonyi to even Igboid groups in Rivers who have made it claim that they ain't Igbos.

I used to know this girl, she was my junior in school — Chioma. She had green eyes and lightskinned but kind of tanned since it was in the North, I later saw her mom and she had colored eyes too.

Rahkman:
Why are fulanis lightskinned then too? Did they sleep with Arabs??

The fulanis aren't homogeneous, they've been mixing with others in North Africa for centuries. Remember they were nomads?

By the way, the lightskinned Igbos I know are lighter than fulanis (I grew up with them) and these Igbos have normal curly African hair unlike most fulanis.

SWATMan:
Ignorance filled thread.

Please educate us, we're all here to learn.

I am Igbo, my hair is curly, but my skin has been darkened by suffering....
My grandfather was fair.....
People look at me too much, I always cover my hair....
My niece is near Chinese.....I think the Igbo people a gene that should be studied ... they may have a long time descendants from outside Africa

Rahkman:

Fulanis are not even Nigerians the just immigrated here.

I thought almost all black Africans hair are curly but yo, I understand what you're saying. I'm also tanned too now . They really need to research on the genetic makeup of the Igbo people but I'm equally scared it might open up a lot of holes. I don't even know when it bothers me.

There was nothing like Nigeria when they immigrated to this geographical location.

The father of this girl is Chinese though she never meet him.

Doubt it. They might have genes from South Africa

I know that. I'm just saying there are Igbo people lighter than her yet they're not mixed.

NaijaPrince18:

Most South Africans that are lightskinned are called "colored", they're very mixed — mixed with khoi (can't remember their real name), European, Indonesia, and etc.

There are others who are from the same ethnicity as that man from "the God must be crazy", I think it's khoi or something.

SuperOnyi:





What exactly are you talking about and how does a normal person talk?

Your accent sha..
How's your kdp journey going?...

SuperOnyi:






How did Asians come to that part of the world? You just reminded of this girl I used to know, she looked 100% Chinese but very lightskinned. She has little eyes like Chinese people, but even more lightskinned than that actress Daniella.

Why are these lightskin Gene spread across every place that speaks igboid language or Igbo? This is not just intermarriages or rape.

You are right it is not by rape or intermarriages. If igbos were the last to be penetrated by the colonial thieves, the light skinned ppl should also be many among other tribes in Nigeria. We are Ndi mbu and capable of producing all shades of colours. Their are light skinned ppl here whose parents are both black. Yes 2 black parents can give you a white or light skinned child. Igbos are ppl of 2 colour - Nkannu/cainaan/black/ham and red/light skinned/shem. Ever had of red igbos? Our colour has nothing to do with mixing. It predates mixing. Ala igbo bu isi ala uwa

I may not agree with everything but I think your explanation makes a lot of sense.

Dream25:

What's wrong with my accent? Do you know me or you're from that sproutgigs group?

Anyway, I haven't been able to do anything on kdp as the light issue has made that impossible; I'm currently trying to raise money to move to another apartment without light issues.

SuperOnyi:

I get you. But they're still not natives of this geographical location.

True

I didn't believe I'd be creating this type of thread but I'm genuinely curious about what others think. A nairalander once created a thread similar to this but because of how he kept insinuating that anyone lightskinned was mixed with somewhere in the family tree, I didn't take him serious.

So, I just came across this thread:

https://www.nairaland.com/8025124/nollywood-child-actress-little-daniella#128861064

I haven't watched the video but looking at this girl, everybody would think she's just a normal Igbo girl but she's mixed.

I'm not about to talk about how lightskinned I was or about my family... Her story reminded of this particular young girl, at first, when I saw her, she reminded me of my ex. They're both very lightskinned and Igbos, my ex girl's dad is as dark but that didn't overshadow the light skin genes.

So, this girl I'm talking about is not just lightskinned but also very beautiful — she just stands out but unfortunately I think she's still a minor but I know she go down dey collect. I'm very 'Americanized' so the thought of getting close to her is scary because I'm handsome too.

Are you wondering why I said I feel pity for her? I know how guys desired to bed my girl back then, now this girl isn't from a rich family and I could see how those nîggas kept looking for opportunities to devour her. I know she has prolly started living that wild teen life because I could tell she enjoyed the attention.

But hey, are Igbos mixed?
Why are Igbos so lightskinned but aren't mixed?

Here is the answer to your question, through science we were able to find out that Africa is the cradle of the human race and Africans have the highest levels of genetic and phenotypic variation among all humans. This means that Africans are the originals that produced different human race.

Having traveled to some countries in the world and met many people from different African countries I can authoritatively tell you that it is not only the Igbos who have fair people among them. I have met fair people from Ivory Coast, Ghana, Ethiopia and Botswana. You can research on Gas, and Ewes tribe of Ghana.

Besides there are many fair Yorubas in Nigeria that are not mixed so how do you explain that? Africans are simply the originals from which other human races emanated.

Simple googling will give you proof of my submissions above.

so it means we still have traces of dominant genes in circulation that can pop up anytime

Yes fulanis are actually Arabs from north Africa

Thank you boss, I've read about that too but the Igbo people just fascinates me and the stereotypes that continues to live on made me bring the topic here because I wanted to read other people's thoughts.

SuperOnyi:






Why and how should I leave Igbo alone? Are you gonna take away my Igbo mother from me?

Hahahaha!!! O ti pari.
