my mother is a prostitute and a bastard .. may thunder strike my father dead before next month ending.
I am a fool and a Bastard child. My life is a total waste and my brothers are all fools. I will drink sniper tonight and die because I am highly frustrated and pained

Figger:
seconded, I am a fool and a stake illiterate, I am a bastard

Antivirus92:
absolute RUBBISH!!!......

we're less exposed to the sun because our ancestors lived in the thick rain forest region, that's why Igbos tend to have lighter skin tone than others...

Even the light skinned people amongst us do have that phenotypical African features as against the Caucasian eye colour, nose shape,body shape,facial appearance and hair type......


stop typing rubbish up and down!

GoooodHardDick:


Fixed man.

ASAPFERG1:
my mother is a prostitute for giving birth to a bastard like me

Ertugrul:


My point exactly, how would we the offsprings only have fair skin but not other features..
Look at the mixed people of the Americas and u can easily tell the difference...and i dont think that there's a record of a substantial amount of European ancestry in Nigerians..
In my family , two of my siblings are fair skin while the rest are dark, my parents are both dark skinned...
Its a mystery

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

You're either dumb or must be an illiterate. I guess you didn't go to school at all hence you won't be asking such a stupid and baseless question.

The wereys answering your question too are illiterate like you hence you would have learnt this in biology during your sec school days

Amarabae:
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.

I think skin tone is a multifactorial Gene i.e ur it is determined by environment and parents.
Africans have a dominant black Gene and a recessive white Gene.
When the gene passed to child is both recessive white Gene from the father and mother the person tends to be fair.
But if there is a dominant black Gene and recessive white Gene the offspring will be white.
So op even u can give birth to a fair baby if and the mother pass on the recessive white Gene to the baby.
Also environment plays a factor.make I stop here biko

I like your take on the gene factor.... and I think this can explain why same non cheating parents can give birth to three dark children and the fourth be very fair in complexion.
I don't agree on the environmental factor. White parents.... giving birth to children in a sun baked environment ... do we see even a slight change in their offspring complexion a few generations later? How many midnight black Nigerians have moved to the colder parts of Canada since 1901 ... family have settled there for generations... then the great great grands return to Nigeria .... all even darker than midnight? Where is the effect of the environmental factor? Just saying!

Osoboshi:


sure but the environment factor could take more than hundred of years bcus even the present Europeans were once black

Originalsly:


What makes you think they were once Black and the changed genetically because of environment? How long was man on earth? Our ancestors shipped to cold climes since the 1500's .... if no White in the blood... then to today... generationsss after... the offspring remain Black. I don't think environment will change one's DNA.

sha nor let them eat you cause those guys na cannibals

Maybe they used to drink hypo every morning and night so it will bleach them from inside and make them look fair outside

Sammy07:



Lol, true. I'm Ondo and I'm light skinned. And majority of Ondos are light skinned probably 60 ir 70%

Ertugrul:


Wow that's a huge percentage, and is it mainly the Yoruba in ondo only or plus the ijaw?
If its both, then it becomes more complicated to factor in environment and maybe food..
