THE WHITE baby born to a black Nigerian couple from south London will undergo full genetic tests in the coming weeks it has been revealed.


Four-day old Nmachi Ihegboro, who was born with blond hair and blue eyes, has baffled genetic experts because both her parents are black and have no known white family history. Both Ben and Angela Ihegboro are now desperately trying to discover whether they have any white ancestry to make sense of their baby daughter's appearance.


Mr Ihegboro, a devout Christian, said he had no reason to doubt little Namchi’s paternity. He said: “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.”


The 44-year-old customer services adviser did reveal that although he and his wife believe there are no whites on either side of their Nigerian family, his 70-year-old mother, Amebo has blue eyes.


The couple have agreed to let experts study Nmachi. Geneticist Dr Mark Thomas, of University College London said that the odds of the baby’s white colouring were “between many millions to one and a million to one”


He said: “I suspect there’s been a mixture of a mutation, like albinism, combined with a dormant white gene.”


Mr Ihegboro said they “would do what we can to find answers”


“It doesn’t matter to us quite how she came about, but we will do what we can to find answers. She’s a beautiful, miracle baby and we love her. She could be green and yellow – we would love her the same

The woman berra open up if she has anything to hide.

She's an Albino just a different type give her 3-4 yes the brownness will be creeping out slowly

^^^^


i never see albino with blond straight hair

i seem to recall they have kinky hair

have you seen a new born albino baby?

the blond is a bit funny but it will turn kinky in a few months time especially considering the parents are naija,
after applying Adi Agbon and some few concoctions from back home

Remember that Africans have a diverse genome. If everyone died around the world, but Africa survived, most of the world's genes would survive since we the original man.

It is not far-fetched that a black couple can create a white baby. It is in our genes, since the original man came from Africa.

This is a subtle way of saying they want to determine paternity (among other things).

i never see albino with blond straight hair

99.9 % of black babies are born with straight hair.

excepting the cute bald ones of course.

this should make maury/jerry springer

good move, i think she is an albino

ROFLMAO!!!

LOL !

True. And most white babies are born bald or with very little hair. Chances are, her hair will turn afro in a few months like most black babies and she'll probably look like a very fair black child except with blond afro (like an albino though they say she isn't one).

The baby is not WHITE

so what would be tested and for what?

like theyre saying as if she gave birth to a baby that looks like WHITE WOMANS baby.

That baby the couple had HAS black features from nose to hair texture-

In some cold dark room somwhere, the new moms is shaking like a leaf. . . . . .

Hes the father of the baby- I dont doubt it

cause I know this igbo lady she has a son LIGHT SKIN - with red hair .

I wouldnt really call him albino cause he has red hair but da lil niggu is kinda albino tho- I dont kno how to explain it. Maybe theres varying degrees of albinoism or something.

This is serious oh.
Hope this will not reveal any hanky panky by the wife oh.

nothing wrong trying to get her genetical information

by default, in everybody's mind

the question would be

This is the first time I'm reading that the man's mother is blue-eyed; the chances of him having a child with the same trait is there. On the other hand, blue eyes in old age are also a sign of high cholesterol.

Hmnn. Black parent, oyibo pikin. Na wa o. Ok. Let me not comment further. The test shall tell.

If the wife "hanky pankied" with oyibo the baby will be half-cast(More black features than white). Well let the test come out first for us to know. I read somewhere that two chineses couple in Nigeria born a black baby.

exactly ive seen it in different igbo folks.

I think this story is getting old. [i]If [/i]the mother did not cheat and genetic tests can prove this, then more likely than not, it's just the reappearance of the gene that makes some Igbo people lighter. It's natural, and it's been documented for over a century. Jamaican patois even have the terms "red Ibo" and "yellow Ibo" to describe black people with lighter skin tones. It is also were the American terms "red bone" or "yellow bone" comes from.

Hell, it isn't even just Igbo, I have a friend from the Congo with the same exact characteristic as the baby but without blue eyes.

true, especially given the fact that very few people seem to know what an albino baby looks like.



from your link, it shows a form of albinism, just not the very severe type.





i dont know if there was a drop in nigerian albinism cases for a while, and if the rate is now climbing again or just that this particular case got over- publicized by the media.

^^shut up.

and no, i didnt modify it because of you, i.diot.

quit stalking my posts btw, jobless thing.

were.

abi you don born albino hence your bones are shaking?

beast of no gender.

i dont have your useless time o.

how's your surgeon husband from the netherlands, abi 190 don replace am?

mama-gee:

^^How old are you? 5?

Grow the heck up!, your rants are that of a little whining baby.

I just wanted to make it clear to you that your statement is offensive, that's just the point.
