I used to ask my father questions.

I was really closed to him.

I used to hug him whenever I came home from school.

Then in the evening,he would be telling us stories.

It was fun in those days.

Shai, how time flies!

Your dad was in the 17th century??

Also there was a time that the Europeans came and stayed in a particular area in Akwa Ibom state.

Some people were taught English language.

After sometime, the leader among those Europeans wanted to leave for his country.

So he called together the local people and gave a farewell speech which was being interpreted by one local man who had learnt English.

When the white man said "Thank you for your hospitality",

the local man interpreted in the local dialet a statement which in English means "Thank you for the hospital which you have built for me"

Everyone was surprised and started asking which hospital did they build for the white man.

The white man heard the murmuring, and said "Ikono what?"

You know this thing happened in Ikono local government.

He asked the people of Ikono what the matter was, since they were murmuring.

Because he said "Ikono what" and you know the way Europeans speak,as if they are speaking from the nose.

The people taught he said "Ikono wuok".

They taught that he was mocking them, because that "wuok" sounded like a mockery.

So they killed the European.

That is the story that is being told over and over.

There were situations where the white men would come and stayed in a particular Nigerian village.

They would start sleeping with the black women of that village.

Some female Europeans also got intimate with the black men.

That is why some people in the southern part of Nigeria look like Europeans.

Particularly some Igbo people who are as fair as the Europeans.
If you do a research on their family background, you will discover that their great grand parents slept with some Europeans and gave birth to White children.

That European gene is in their blood.

She is actually right. But such mixed people abound more among the Ibibio and Efik.

There are so many who are fair without the use of cream.

There are some who are huge and fair naturally.


There are those who are fair with pointed noses and beautiful faces.

Etc.

If some of them stand side by side with Europeans, you cannot so much as differentiate them from the Europeans.

The only thing is that they also have an African gene in their blood.

That is why some of them are slightly different from the Europeans.

The coming of Europeans to Nigeria was nothing if not a great risk.

They would just enter a ship and came down here, where they knew no one and where they stood a risk of being killed.

I really admire them for such courage.

Europeans were far from alone in this show of courage.

Americans,Indians and Chinese also showed courage in going to remote areas, although they did not come to Africa.

No she isn't. The reason why Igbos are light skinned is due to the high rate of albinism in that region.

By the logic, the Dan people of South Africa have east Asian due to to their yellow undertone and epicanthic folds.
