Yea even in my family we have mixture of fair skin and dark skin from same mother and father,my father is fair skin while my mother is dark skin so for example I took my mothers dark skin colour then I am not original Igbo according to your friends theory abi?
Yes there are a lot of southern Igbos who are fair in complexion and I happen to come from there and we don't believe in Jewish origin that is unknown to our ancestors we know the part of Igboland that is coming from with their own agenda.

IGBOSON1:


Dude, just give it a rest!

I said: 'The guy you quoted is right about Igbos known for having Mazi Kanus' lighter complexion....and i've noticed they're mainly found around the lower part of Igboland (Abia and Imo)'.

Now this part of my post was specific to a particular assertion he made out of many....and it was this part of his post i was agreeing with! I even ended by saying his post shouldn't be written-off in its entirety...meaning, there were parts of it i didn't agree with! How you managed to read meaning that isn't in any way related to what i meant is what i'm yet to understand! I mean.....do you just go about nit-picking and looking for arguments for no reason!?

I can just imagine the kind of dickheads that would 'like' the combative and unreasonable posts you're making on this thread!

Hahahahaha, you are a fake igbo hahahahaha

Northcorte took a picture of a fair Igbo girl with blue eyes and described her. However, the picture did not reflect those colours.

Some of Northcorte's picture have been recoloured using the shades of pigment and some sort of technology, most of them were fair.

I believe their color got a lot to do with their environment and also the Igbo subgroup in question.

Ndoki people are generally darker than Umuahia people (in the same state) Many Aro people are usually fairer on the average than Ngwa people. They all indigenous to Abia state.

I believe that environment and profession might also be a factor. Most Igbos when they come to the SW, they become darker than they were when they were in the SE.

I will upload this recoloured picture.

You are the most stupid idiot I have ever seen.

If you have little sense, you would have known that siblings can come in different shades. So, according to your stupidity some are real while the rest are fake.

Na lie. Na bleach them bleach their Skin. If you've been to their Region you will notice that, there are more black skin People than the fair ones. Out of the few fair ones, over 50% bleached their skin.

The man also failed to mention that, their Girls have "follow come" Yam Legs, Bear Bear for Face and Bear Bear for Chest.

ThumbzTNA:


You are a big fool for trying to discern who is a light skin or a drak skin negro from a black and white photo

BKayy:

Fools like you have existed before during slave trade.

Google "PAPER BAG TEST" and see what those that reincarnated as you people did as slaves in Jamaica.

Don't quote me until you read about it

BKayy:

Nobody is disputing the fact of the presence of fair Igbo people but categorising Ndigbo originality based on skin tone is what I am speaking against.
I have heard this from Radio Biafra life and direct, that is why I am not handling it with kids gloves here since it has gotten fans.

I will like you to read about "Paper Bag Test"
It will give you an insight of why I am totally against it.

ThumbzTNA:


Who is this olodo? You think commenting everyday on NL politics section suddenly makes you more intelligent than your 2 digit IQ can permit. What concerns brown bag test in native Africans? And most imporatantly, what is the correlation between brown bag test and the context we were talking about (which was, the ability to discern the tone of a negro's dark skin from a black and white picture).

Captain Hugh Crow, British Explorer, Describes Igbo People During His Tour

Vintagepipes:


..............Yes, I understand ...
......however you know the whites were so big on colourism, and even the slave descendants carried on with this.

......Do you wonder why there was such a term as "Red Eboes"?
....... When you read deep you would understand.......However, before the white men came to Africa, Igbo men even preferred the "darker women". A debate with Obi Ossai and either Oldfield or Baikie (I can't remember). King Obie said this himself.

...but it is important to establish the fact that most of our ancestors were naturally fair and not as a result of white mixing or bleaching as other Nigerians like to tease.

This is another of Igbos being generally dark.

What the OP uploaded is not from Captain Crow, I believe that was from Captain John Adams.

BKayy:

Nna, I have no issues with the OP or his message but the ones that want to turn Igbo heritage to originality based on how light skinned you are.

To tell you the truth, everybody knows that on an average scale Ndigbo are far more lighter than their neighbours and to a great extent other West Africans.
We know that no matter how dark an Igbo person is, he has a reddish undertone. That's fact but we can't allow some unscrupulous fellows turn our originality to degree of skin tone in an intra national comparison. That is conditioning the originality based on how lighter the indigenes are from each other to create a caste.

Like I said before, I wouldn't have taken what they said seriously if I haven't heard it from Radio Biafra and Nnamdi Kanu himself directly.

Vintagepipes:

Radio Biafra seem to be taken over by illiterates. Even the studies on Igbos being Light skinned had racist connotations.
Oldfield was even doing studies on an Igbo skull based on racism and classification.

BKayy:

I hate talking about what Nnamdi Kanu said that day but I can never forget it.
It was all shades of blunders and inferiority complex that I have ever witnessed.

That faithful day, he talked about Igbo migration from Israel, how they came in three factions "Arodi, Areli and the other one". He said that they met indigenous people he called "Bijango people" that the first Areli was Eri and he civilised the Bijango people who were of dark Bantu African phenotype. Then after the second and to Arodi, who he claimed founded Aro and brought the Jewish ark of covenant with him to Arochukwu at Ihechiowa meaning (in his voice) where the light of God rested on the very face of the earth.
That the descendants of these three are the Igbo and they are categorised as extremely light skinned or very fair like him and the rest of the black ones among us are the descendants of the Bijango people.

Remembering this makes me feel like giving that dude a very hot slap.

It's a known fact original or real Igbo people are naturally light skin people, tall and very attractive, both men and women.

Forget all these short, ugly and very dark skin fake Igbos you see like Gov Ikpeazu and Mr. Ibu, these are not pure Igbo people. These are the neighbors the white people were talking about, that the Igbos met when they arrived Igboland or came to live among the Igbos. A true pure Igbo man looks like Nnamdi Kanu.

These were some of the traits that made white people very curious about them and eager to work with because they looked different from their neighbors, and white people being racist, considered them superior to their neighbors Yorubaas and Haussas who are jet black skin.

Mr Biafra, post a picture of yourself, let us see how you look?

All igbo men look like Mazi Kanu, Obi Cubana is a Hausa Man from Rano, whose great grandparents came to work in the coal mines of Enugu in the early1930’s?

This is one of your ancestors,.People with mix race don't have flat noses as described by that European.You can see the Fulanis that have Arab blood how they look like...Ethiopians and Somalians.We are typical Africans.Your Jewish claim is dead on arrival.

IGBOSON1:


It's a known fact that Igbos can be quite fair....this doesn't preclude the fact that there are darkskinned Igbos too! The time the British explorer wrote this, there were probably a higher percentage of light-skinned Igbos than you have today and more concentrated in ceratin clans....but given the growth in movement and interaction amongst the different clans, this would naturally lead to inter-marriages and a dillution of the lighter shade.

The guy you quoted is right about Igbos known for having Mazi Kanus' lighter complexion....and i've noticed they're mainly found around the lower part of Igboland (Abia and Imo). I've also noticed some Akwa-Ibomites have a similar lighter complexion as well! If you found his post insulting to the Yoruba and Hausa, then take him up on that, rather than writing off his theory in its entirety!

Fejoku:
We don't seem to learn the antics of the enemies. Day in day out they spend their time all out in search for topic, statements and whatever they can use to stoke arguments and quarrel among us. Isn't it clear to you all? If it isn't state based conjectures to throw at us, it will ideological differences they throw at us. If they don't attack MNK as a person, they will attack IPOB while praising Ndigbo. All these they do just to create a divide within our ranks so we become weak. Ask yourself, what is the aim of this thread? Did you even bother to see the time it was created? Did you even bother to know the antecedents of the moniker behind the thread? We must be wiser than these dolts by giving them the silent treatment or derailing a useless thread targeted at us once we see it. Our enemies are restless all through the hours like the devil seeking to sow discord within us. Let us defeat them by detecting all their moves on time.
God Bless Ndigbo of all shades for He created them all.

....In my humble assessment. Those are black and white old pictures. It cannot tell shades of colours apart.
....There are several examples.

Northcorte took a picture of a fair Igbo girl with blue eyes and described her. However, the picture did not reflect those colours.

Some of Northcorte's picture have been recoloured using the shades of pigment and some sort of technology, most of them were fair.

I believe their color got a lot to do with their environment and also the Igbo subgroup in question.

Ndoki people are generally darker than Umuahia people (in the same state) Many Aro people are usually fairer on the average than Ngwa people. They all indigenous to Abia state.

I believe that environment and profession might also be a factor. Most Igbos when they come to the SW, they become darker than they were when they were in the SE.

I will upload this recoloured picture.
