Ojukwu (Igbo) also had a half Ethiopian daughter, not so?

bigfrancis21:


How does this matter?

.
Fulanis are more chocolate creamy than been yellow. But i believe both can be categorized as been light skinned

itstpia8:


Fulanis are dark skinned with Caucasian features.

If you know of any light skinned ones as a rote, they might be from specific regions.

aim5:


Don't you mean Fulanis are more light brown?

kagari:
Then for the igbos, anambra and enugu has more population of fair individuals and i mean light yellowish, not light ebony which the fulanis mostly have

kagari:

.
Yea thats what i mean, for example nadia buhari abi buari the actress is quite different from zariah buhari the presidents daughter, but both are light skinned
.

bigfrancis21:


Abia and Imo states have prevalence of such peoples as well. In my opinion, I think Imo, Abia have the highest concentrations, followed by Anambra/Enugu.

kagari:

.
My man, i am from Imo, my mum from anambra, i did my secondary schooling in abia, my university in enugu, i am well absorbed in these states. Imo and abia tends to slide in the dark skin/ caramel/ ebony than fair or yellowish. Anambra/enugu has more concentration of light skined/ fair individuals, ebony state is predominantly darkskined

suyu:
Many of them have white ancestry

Ihuomadinihu:

Igbos are just igbos and they share their dna with most West Africans. Even as an igbo, i get curious when i see folks that could pass as biracial.
We are just made like that.

can you explain this thread then of the Jewish ancestry claim that I have heard from some igbos on nairaland

There's difference between light skin and yellow.

MayorofLagos:
@OP

There is a skin disorder in the Ibo gene. Its related with a leprous mutation. Untriggered it surfaces mildly as a piedald patch or skin stains or discoloration around the brow, nose, lips, elbows, knuckles, knees, toes and so on... Fully blown it escalates to leprosy and disfigurement.

The yellowness you observe as prominent amongst Iboes is the foundation and a hint at this genetic disorder. Studies show 9 out of every 10 yellow Ibo will end either with the mild or exagerated form of the disease. Some start off with the mild form but left untreated degenerate into leprosy. Typically the yellowness begin to fade, replaced by a spread of the white patches and skin baldness around age 45.

This baby is called Alam Musham Shekel-chukwo he was discovered in igboland wearing a woven kippa and speaking in the ancient Hebrew language. Some of what he has spoken has been recorded, written down in 3 ancient scrolls.

These writings are the foundation of the origin of the Igbo people in the land of Isreal.

Ihuomadinihu:

Thank God you called it a ''claim''.

Ihuomadinihu:

Pls don't write nonesense here!! This is entirely made up by tribalist like you. Igbo people are not the only light skin blacks on the face of the earth and leprosy is not common in igboland. People lose their tone due to years of toiling under the harsh sunlight. I'm yet to see a grown adult get leprosy,discoloured and disfigured in Igboland. Na wa o!


Take your ignorant unconfounded trash out of this thread.
Like i wrote earlier,non Igbos are so obsessed and fixated on light skin igbos till they start making up rubbish reasons for the existence of light skin among igbos.
This is the most stupidd comment i have read regarding light skin people in Africa.
Proudly Igbo and Proudly Light Skinned.

Ihuomadinihu:

It's the other way round,people from Imo/Abia tend to be lighter skinned than people from other parts of igboland.

Antivirus92:
do u see how no anambra person bothered arguing with u on this matter. how did u know that there are more lighskin people in imo and abia than in anambra?
did u conduct any head count?
I have observed u on naira land and I find out that like most imo and abia folks u have that mentality that anambra people are cheats and are always priding themselves as kings over other igbos.
you always counter anything anambra....its not good to your health and Igbo unity.
here in anambra we give no damn about u guys..

Eke40seven:
I'm even surprised that you would stoop to giving his comment a second look talkmore of spending precious minutes dignifying him with a reply. You should know by now that stupidity is a genetic disorder in many humans. What modern science can't find solution to. I agree with your earlier assertion that there are more light skinned people from Abia/Imo than from Anambara. I don't know much about Enugu though and I still believe that the jewish links are downright ridiculous.

HugoChavezJr:
Even though Igbos are known for lightskin, they still have prominent Negroid features. So no, they aren't mixed at all.
