I have always been wondering, what is the source or origin of fair skin in our DNA as black Africans...there are lots of yellow skinned people in Nigeria that makes me wonder...even in families with dark skinned parents, you might see one fair skinned child...

Tickles001:


Didn't you know our colonial masters had (mostly nonconsensual)sex and impregnated lots of our women in the past. I believe that's how it got in the African gene pool.

My mother must be a very stupid woman for giving birth to a bastard like me...ode

Whats the essence of a forum if not for sharing opinions on a reasonable and intelligent topic... I must be a fool for asking this dumb and foolish question....my ignorance is annoying and may thunder fire me and my father... onye nzuzu like me

Ertugrul:
if ur assertion is true, why did we not see other physical diffrences, like hair texture and facial features, if u see a half white, half black , they are easy to identify

ednut1:
this guy below has a Nigerian grandfather. But already looks fully white here. His next generation wont have any black features. Same with those in Nigeria. Lets say white man nack person in africa in 1600. Then the offspring has been mating with blacks since then. The white features would have vanished. There are alot of white people in uk and American who had black ancestors. But no trace today.

To the topic there were light skin blacks before white men came plus albinos too. In South Africa many have light skin too

It depends on climatic and environmental factors if we start viewing it from pre-historical past.
For example, those in Rain forest environment for years back then like the Igbos, Akwacross, Ijaws, Bini etc tend to be more light in complexion due to less exposure to sublight unlike the core northerners who are more exposed to sunlight.

Vinnie2000:


You are VERY WRONG.

Ijaws and Akwa Ibom people are not Fair Complexioned in any Way...

The Major Tribes in Nigeria renowned for Light Complexion is..
Igbos
Some Ishan in Edo state.
Some Ondo Yorubas...

They must have gotten their Light skin from a Common Ancestor who must have been a Whiteman

A305:
Two reasons

1 - The Igbo ethnicity has the majority number of light skin people. The reason is; In the Pre-colonial era, prior to the Aba women riot — the white colonial masters tortured and raped many women in the Eastern region. Many of these women in Eastern region ended up baring the baby from the rap e and evolution just continue it course.

This ra pe story by the colonial master also applies to women in the south south region.

2 - White foreigners that immigrated/relocated to early day Nigeria — these folks at the time, lived in present day Ikoyi, Victoria Island area.

This is why you hear some Nigerian still having foreign surnames like: Cole, Coker etc
