Is This True Regarding Nigerian Culture/beliefs by marik: 11:44pm On Feb 17, 2017
Ok, I heard this claim, so I was wondering, is this true: There is a rather widespread concept in Black Africa, according to which human beings, before “coming” into this world, dwell in heaven, where they are white. For, heaven itself is white and all the beings dwelling there are also white. Therefore the whiter a child is at birth, the more splendid it is. In other words, at that particular moment in a person’s life, special importance is attached to the whiteness of his colour, which is endowed with exceptional qualities (Dominique Zahan 1974)

I am not so sure how certain this is, but can anyone tell me if this true?
