Nobody is mixing up Fulanis and Shuwa Arabs okay. We all know Igbos have always had a solid amount of fairskinned people. Fulanis likely have more fairskinned people and I don't care if they are recent migrants. I'm talking about the Fulani population in Nigeria. |

Lolz. Not like being lightskin is an achievement but people are so fixated on igbo skin tones. 6 Likes |

Some of your people brag about your diversity in skintones. I don't see lightskin as a big achievement, neither do I obsess over a particular skintone. My father, sister and a slew of aunts and uncles are lightskinned with a few more family friends having a ruddy/reddish brown complexion and I'm ruddy as well, so I don't need to feel inferior about my skintone. |

iconize: from the pictures posted on one of the Fulani threads, it seems Cameroonian Fulanis tend to be light skinned although I don't know for sure. I doubt anyone mistakes Shuwa Arabs for Fulani since they are not the same. Only an outsider would do that. |

Most likely environmental factors and our genes adapting to them. For example the sand in the East typically has a reddish hue compared to the West and North. This picture is more representative of our color spectrum. Most are not yellow skinned, but fall within the range of both extreme. https://i.onthe.io/vllkytaHR0cDovL2Nkbi0wMS5uYWlqLmNvbS9vL0p5WUNORE9iSXV0eEFqUXhLVEpVbDJlMS5qcGc=.prx.r800x600.cc3ce45c.jpg 1 Like |

We were made that way just as some south african tribes are naturally light skinned without admixture. Even the dark ones among us usually have warmer hues with golden or red undertones. The issue has been overflogged though. 1 Like |

macof: Mutation or a recessive gene. I've seen that a lot. Usually an ancestor would have been light skinned. Happened in my family. I have two light skinned sisters. The rest of us are light brown. Apparently a great grandmother was very light skinned. 1 Like |

I think yellow Eritreans must have migrated out of East Africa for greener pasteurs and settled in Igboland hundreds of years ago. Many half Eritrean or Ethiopian half Nigerians tend to look like yellow igbos. The first pic is a half yoruba half ethiopian woman

I really think that this issue of Igbo light-'skinnedness' is being over-flogged. Igbos are !00% West African and African, with no European admixture whatsoever. Genetic tests conducted on the Igbos have proved this time after time. It is ludicrous when people come up here claiming that they have 'white ancestry' or European ancestry. The black race is the mother of all races. Only two blacks can lay together and produce off springs of different skin complexion. No two whites can produce a black child or anything other than white. Black is a more dominant gene and white is recessive. 4 Likes |
