Strange but true. Look at its broad nose!

A BLACK couple coo over their new baby yesterday - a white, blue-eyed BLONDE.
British Nmachi Ihegboro has amazed genetics experts who say the little girl is NOT an albino.
Dad Ben, 44, a customer services adviser, admitted: "We both just sat there after the birth staring at her."

Mum Angela, 35, of Woolwich, South London, beamed as she said: "She's beautiful - a miracle baby."
Ben told yesterday how he was so shocked when Nmachi was born, he even joked: "Is she MINE?"
He added: "Actually, the first thing I did was look at her and say, 'What the flip?'"
But as the baby's older brother and sister - both black - crowded round the "little miracle" at their home in South London, Ben declared: "Of course she's mine."
Blue-eyed blonde Nmachi, whose name means "Beauty of God" in the Nigerian couple's homeland, has baffled genetics experts because neither Ben nor wife Angela have ANY mixed-race family history.
Pale genes skipping generations before cropping up again could have explained the baby's appearance.
Ben also stressed: "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."

Doctors at Queen Mary's Hospital in Sidcup - where Angela, from nearby Woolwich, gave birth - have told the parents Nmachi is definitely no albino.
Ben, who came to Britain with his wife five years ago and works for South Eastern Trains, said: "She doesn't look like an albino child anyway - not like the ones I've seen back in Nigeria or in books. She just looks like a healthy white baby."
He went on: "My mum is a black Nigerian although she has a bit fairer skin than mine.
"But we don't know of any white ancestry. We wondered if it was a genetic twist.
"But even then, what is with the long curly blonde hair?"
Professor Bryan Sykes, head of Human Genetics at Oxford University and Britain's leading expert, yesterday called the birth "extraordinary".
He said: "In mixed race humans, the lighter variant of skin tone may come out in a child - and this can sometimes be startlingly different to the skin of the parents.
"This might be the case where there is a lot of genetic mixing, as in Afro-Caribbean populations. But in Nigeria there is little mixing."
Prof Sykes said BOTH parents would have needed "some form of white ancestry" for a pale version of their genes to be passed on.
But he added: "The hair is extremely unusual. Even many blonde children don't have blonde hair like this at birth."

Blonde bombshell ,  parents show newborn
Nmachi to sister Dumebi and bruv Chisom yesterday
PETER SIMPSON & NEIL HALL
The expert said some unknown mutation was the most likely explanation.
He admitted: "The rules of genetics are complex and we still don't understand what happens in many cases."
The amazing birth comes five years after Kylie Hodgson became mum to twin daughters - one white and the other black - in Nottingham.
Kylie, now 23, and her partner Remi Horder, now 21, are both mixed race.
Even so the odds were estimated at a million to one.
The Sun told in 2002 how a white couple had Asian twins after a spermatozoa mix-up by a fertility clinic.
Yesterday three-day-old Nmachi's churchgoing mum Angela admitted that she was "speechless" at first seeing her baby girl, who was delivered in a caesarean op.
She said: "I thought, 'What is this little doll?'
"She's beautiful and I love her. Her colour doesn't matter. She's a miracle baby.
"But still, what on earth happened here?"
Her husband told how their son Chisom, four, was even more confused than them by his new sister.
Ben said: "Our other daughter Dumebi is only two so she's too young to understand.
"But our boy keeps coming to look at his sister and then sits down looking puzzled.
"We're a black family. Suddenly he has a white sister."
Ben continued: "Of course, we are baffled too and want to know what's happened. But we understand life is very strange.
"All that matters is that she's healthy and that we love her.She's a proud British Nigerian."
Queen Mary's Hospital said: "Congratulations to Angela and her family on the birth of their daughter.

Omo Alata:
I DO have a passport, just not a Nigerian one (which is why we went to apply for visas )

Like you don't know i was referring to Nigerian passport. Anyway why do you even have British passport since you were born in UK and you have lived here all your life?

yea yea

Who is this impersonator?

Abeg show us your source.

He has 4 years left in his 5 years contract.

He should sign for Kano pillars!

You have to show a passport if you are Nigerian. The fact you are Nigerian does not mean you would not have a passport esp in a foreign land. Even in Nigeria you will be expected to brandish you passport if you are inviting someone to Naija.

Becomerich,

Map please!!!!!!!!!! Any maps to show the route through which Yar'Adua will return will be appreciated

detective Amebo in the house!

Now you know

He is an alien ^^

Again, a high intergrity police IG means that money meant for the officers welfare will get to them and he would know the effect of good welfare package on police employee motivation especially when the risk of death is on the cards.

It will mean a lot my friend!

mbulela:
it would not be much different.
you are misdiagnosing the problem.
the problem is not just the head, the system is rotten.
As bad as Onovo is, the police force is nothing to write home about.
a good IG would make somne difference but not much.

Do you know how much a 'some difference' will mean to Nigerians?

Problems are not solved in a day. Small difference will lead to a bigger difference.

It took one man, Ribadu to scare 419 operatives away from cybercafes.
The same man Ribadu put fears in the governors.

Do we have corrupt EFCC operatives in Ribadu's time? The answer is YES.

The leadership matters a lot.

You know what this means? 'Haa, this Oga is different oo, no be the same kind of IG be this' If you hear this across police formations in the country. It means a lot.

jidobaba:
i shudder. to think people can be this insensitive
@jenny, agaba & co. i bow for una o

Me too for your insenstitvity on the woman's side. May be the woman should not be considered because she is a mere woman.

I shudder too!

^ You cannot compare your situation with this one. We are talking about a day to wedding and God knows how many moths before yours. The problem is the proximity. He should have not called off the wedding because a friend died. At best, do it low-key especially as the woman wanted it.  if the woman is your 'type' who probably never wanted a wedding, yea you can call it off.

It is callous to call off a wedding on the wedding morning. Why did he not tell the wife the wedding is gonna be called off at night so that she would have told their invitees not to come?
Why did he have to wait till morning?

Was he not aware of the death which took place before the wedding day?

I also blame those who informed him that the friend was dead.

The best thing would have been to tell him the friend had an accident and was in the hospital but that he would be Ok.

Though not exactly the same, Will Young carried on with his gig not knowing that some back room staff was electrocuted to death. He was told the staff was injured.
We call this crisis management.

Imagine how the police will be if a forward thinking IGP who is technologically aware and of high integrity is handling the police force.

AGABA

This man should have balanced the equation well in this situation, instead of disappointing his guests and pple that came to share that wonderful dsay with him.Alot of them women here mutter n co are busy asking and questioning her level of understanding, I reply posts on here based on what I will do if it happened to me, I put it to you that if mutter was in a situaltion like these ,dressed in her wedding gown, with her flower girls and brides maid looking all beautiful alongside guests that came from far and near to honour the occasion , there is no way she will open that mouth of hers and tell them all that the wedding is cancelled , EVERYBODY PLS GO HOME, are you kidding me? Any woman that will come on here and tel me she would have cancelled the wedding if it happened to her is a bloody toothless liar, but they come on here because it has not happened to them and ask for understanding.

Bloody hypocrite

That's why I married you .

Do not mind them. It is very easy to console when the funeral procession is not headed one's compound.
