“On the whole, the Igbos are of good physique and compare very favourably with other AfriCan tribes... Many Igbos are truly as black as the proverbial coal: others are almost as light-skinned as the natives of Southern Europe, while a few are distinctively reddish. The folk who stand out obstructively are the Albinos.”
