A BLACK couple coo over their new baby yesterday - a white, blue-eyed BLONDE.
British Nmachi Ihegboro has amazed genetics experts who say the little girl is NOT an albino.
Dad Ben, 44, a customer services adviser, admitted: "We both just sat there after the birth staring at her."

Little 'miracle' ,  Nmachi Ihegboro

Mum Angela, 35, of Woolwich, South London, beamed as she said: "She's beautiful - a miracle baby."
Ben told yesterday how he was so shocked when Nmachi was born, he even joked: "Is she MINE?"
He added: "Actually, the first thing I did was look at her and say, 'What the flip?'"
But as the baby's older brother and sister - both black - crowded round the "little miracle" at their home in South London, Ben declared: "Of course she's mine."
Blue-eyed blonde Nmachi, whose name means "Beauty of God" in the Nigerian couple's homeland, has baffled genetics experts because neither Ben nor wife Angela have ANY mixed-race family history.
Pale genes skipping generations before cropping up again could have explained the baby's appearance.
Ben also stressed: "My wife is true to me. Even if she hadn't been, the baby still wouldn't look like that.
"We both just sat there after the birth staring at her for ages - not saying anything."

Doctors at Queen Mary's Hospital in Sidcup - where Angela, from nearby Woolwich, gave birth - have told the parents Nmachi is definitely no albino.
Ben, who came to Britain with his wife five years ago and works for South Eastern Trains, said: "She doesn't look like an albino child anyway - not like the ones I've seen back in Nigeria or in books. She just looks like a healthy white baby."
He went on: "My mum is a black Nigerian although she has a bit fairer skin than mine.
"But we don't know of any white ancestry. We wondered if it was a genetic twist.
"But even then, what is with the long curly blonde hair?"
Professor Bryan Sykes, head of Human Genetics at Oxford University and Britain's leading expert, yesterday called the birth "extraordinary".
He said: "In mixed race humans, the lighter variant of skin tone may come out in a child - and this can sometimes be startlingly different to the skin of the parents.
"This might be the case where there is a lot of genetic mixing, as in Afro-Caribbean populations. But in Nigeria there is little mixing."
Prof Sykes said BOTH parents would have needed "some form of white ancestry" for a pale version of their genes to be passed on.
But he added: "The hair is extremely unusual. Even many blonde children don't have blonde hair like this at birth."

Nmachi to sister Dumebi and bruv Chisom yesterday

The expert said some unknown mutation was the most likely explanation.
He admitted: "The rules of genetics are complex and we still don't understand what happens in many cases."
The amazing birth comes five years after Kylie Hodgson became mum to twin daughters - one white and the other black - in Nottingham.
Kylie, now 23, and her partner Remi Horder, now 21, are both mixed race.
Even so the odds were estimated at a million to one.
The Sun told in 2002 how a white couple had Asian twins after a spermatozoa mix-up by a fertility clinic.
Yesterday three-day-old Nmachi's churchgoing mum Angela admitted that she was "speechless" at first seeing her baby girl, who was delivered in a caesarean op.
She said: "I thought, 'What is this little doll?'
"She's beautiful and I love her. Her colour doesn't matter. She's a miracle baby.
"But still, what on earth happened here?"
Her husband told how their son Chisom, four, was even more confused than them by his new sister.
Ben said: "Our other daughter Dumebi is only two so she's too young to understand.
"But our boy keeps coming to look at his sister and then sits down looking puzzled.
"We're a black family. Suddenly he has a white sister."
Ben continued: "Of course, we are baffled too and want to know what's happened. But we understand life is very strange.
"All that matters is that she's healthy and that we love her.She's a proud British Nigerian."
Queen Mary's Hospital said: "Congratulations to Angela and her family on the birth of their daughter.

Strange but true. Look at its broad nose!

Una dey see?

It happens. No big deal. They are not the only couple with  a different coloured child apart from them on this earth  

DNA test, plz!

Na wa o, hope there is no mix up in that hospital, strange!

I don't trust the looks of that Man DNA test fast fast. BTW why is a 44 yr old man and a 35 yr old woman still having kids.

The other time it was a White South African couple with a black kid!!!

make them ask the mama who born am

THE AMAKA:

some black babies are born with straight fine hair.
and its obvious that the baby is albino and not white(perhaps the baby was born being very close to albino, but not one completely), so why is this news? and how does that make her a miracle?
these people no go kill me today oooooo 

How obvious when geneticist said the baby is far from being albino? And even albinos are quite obvious at birth. What do mean by very close to albino and not completely? You don't want to accept that it is strange?

Gabry:

Yea but other cases have at least one ancestor with a similar colour. These people came from Nigeria and the possibility of a white ancestor is very very remote.

Ileke-IdI:

DNA test, plz!

I'd do the same if I were a guy!!

shilling:

I'd do the same if I were a guy!!

Yea that will surely be on the cards for me!

It's baffling!
Trivially, the little angel looks somewhat Albino and somewhat White. 
Wasn't there a mix up or sum'n' - Exchange of baby? 

Vitally, the parents look happy and that's what matters. Sometimes, we need these rare occurrences to affirm one thing . . .

I agree with you.

From the few last news Ive seen, it wasnt based on ancestors but it is due to the unbalancy of the white and red cells in the parents body which causes both to produce a different coloured baby. The news was something like that. Thats why I say its no miracle to me as its common. Of course its rare but it has happened before so its no surprise it will happen again and again

May be if you read the article you would see the difference in this case. I am not projecting a miracle to you, I am only saying that nature is strange.

Siena you de mind them?

It just goes a prove some things are beyond science and common sense at least for now.

someone has shined the congo of that woman

and that man is there staring at the camera looking like mungo park

mshew

am blak in complexion my wife blak too, den she born white babe and my bosss na whiteman.men someone must answer questions oh, my origin nor get white, lol, womennnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

Abeg madam talk true . . . who did you sleep with?

*Patiently waits for somebody to say that this is the result of albinism.* Although of course, the doctors have said otherwise,

If she slept with someone else, don' you think the baby should be half cast? It's not impossible for a black couple to have a white baby.

sumbodi's been playin some "away" matches

This is nt gonna be the first time that this occured,there is this one too in united states where a white couple gave birth to a black boy then in early 90s.This is nt gonna be the first time that this occured,there is this one too in united states where a white couple gave birth to a black boy then in early 90s.

Not New.

Entire Family

I think the couples have a secret that they are hiding from the world.
