MrCork:

Mrcork , I'm your biggest fan! Can you send me some UK pounds to get new glasses? 💀

Brian47:
I get you. But they're still not natives of this geographical location.

Yeah, that's right.

Dream25:
Your accent sha..
How's your kdp journey going?...

What's wrong with my accent? Do you know me or you're from that sproutgigs group?

Anyway, I haven't been able to do anything on kdp as the light issue has made that impossible; I'm currently trying to raise money to move to another apartment without light issues.

bobestman:
You are right it is not by rape or intermarriages. If igbos were the last to be penetrated by the colonial thieves, the light skinned ppl should also be many among other tribes in Nigeria. We are Ndi mbu and capable of producing all shades of colours. Their are light skinned ppl here whose parents are both black. Yes 2 black parents can give you a white or light skinned child. Igbos are ppl of 2 colour - Nkannu/cainaan/black/ham and red/light skinned/shem. Ever had of red igbos? Our colour has nothing to do with mixing. It predates mixing. Ala igbo bu isi ala uwa

I may not agree with everything but I think your explanation makes a lot of sense.

NaijaPrince18:
Doubt it. They might have genes from South Africa

Most South Africans that are lightskinned are called "colored", they're very mixed — mixed with khoi (can't remember their real name), European, Indonesia, and etc.

There are others who are from the same ethnicity as that man from "the God must be crazy", I think it's khoi or something.

AfroBeatDiary:
The father of this girl is Chinese though she never meet him.

I know that. I'm just saying there are Igbo people lighter than her yet they're not mixed.

codemaniacs:
Only Whyte supremacists encourage black people to be poor by saying things like "money is not everything ".

You're a f*cking racist.

Same crude oil has built roads, bridges, primary schools, secondary schools, universities, hospitals, housing estates, airports, seaports, power plants e.t.c all over Nigeria.

When your fellow Whyte people ruled Nigeria from 1840s to 1960 there was no University in Nigeria, no power plant in Nigeria, literacy rate was 5%, no pipe borne water, no housing estates e.t.c

You're very stu:pid and ignorant.

Shut up up, you pathetic thing acting like a bot — little cúnt, you're literally pasting that first post all over the thread like gossiping bítch! Look at this moñkey calling me "white" like I give a fvck!

It's so unfortunate people like you exist because how the fvck did you end up blaming Caucasians for all your woes? Keep blaming white people while your politicians keep stashing your wealth in a white man's country! Who exactly is encouraging black people to be poor?

You just proved that black people like you are slàves controlled by a remote! Wannabe "problack" bítch!

immortalcrown:
So, all the countries with Dollars and all the countries you japa to and all the countries that have what Nigeria lack do not have any problem? Answer this question if you are not the one with mental issues.

That bum just attacked me out of nowhere like a dog that's gone wild.

codemaniacs:
You have a mental problem and you're a racist..

Money is everything.

If Nigeria had money a dollar would at worst be 100 naira.
If Nigeria had money it citizens would not be interested in japa.
If Nigeria had money there would be 24 hour electricity.
If Nigeria had money there would be better transportation services.
If Nigeria had money there would be no terrorism.
If Nigeria had money there would better schools and hospitals.
If Nigeria had money there would be unemployment benefits.
If Nigeria had money there would be health insurance for every Nigerian.
If Nigeria had money there would be better security in Nigeria.

So stop saying rubbish

Let's be rude! You're a very uséless bastàrd! Stupid fvck, do I look like your politicians who have embezzled over 500 billion dollars? Shut the fvck up! How did I become a racist here? Because I told y'all the truth?

Dumb fvck, the white man didn't stop your politicians from using the little y'all got to build a good society! What happened to the billions made from the oil boom period? Answer me, bîtch! The same crude oil you collaborated with the British to get by starving millions of innocent black kids!

Bítch, how exactly did the word "racist" get into this? Inferior thing!

Goodnewsforlife:
u people are opportunist there n u don’t love yourself

In the south west things are way cheaper

And oh yes, he didn't disappoint . The obsession is real...

Brian47:
Fulanis are not even Nigerians the just immigrated here.

There was nothing like Nigeria when they immigrated to this geographical location.

MONEY247:
I am Igbo, my hair is curly, but my skin has been darkened by suffering....
My grandfather was fair.....
People look at me too much, I always cover my hair....
My niece is near Chinese.....I think the Igbo people a gene that should be studied ... they may have a long time descendants from outside Africa

I thought almost all black Africans hair are curly but yo, I understand what you're saying. I'm also tanned too now . They really need to research on the genetic makeup of the Igbo people but I'm equally scared it might open up a lot of holes. I don't even know when it bothers me.

SWATMan:
Ignorance filled thread.

Please educate us, we're all here to learn.

Rahkman:
Why are fulanis lightskinned then too? Did they sleep with Arabs??

The fulanis aren't homogeneous, they've been mixing with others in North Africa for centuries. Remember they were nomads?

By the way, the lightskinned Igbos I know are lighter than fulanis (I grew up with them) and these Igbos have normal curly African hair unlike most fulanis.

okoroemeka:
I don't doubt you there is this young teenage girl that lives close to our company in imo state,she is so light skinned that her eyes are blue in colour,infact you will mistake her for a mulatto but her mother is black and her father even blacker than black,the best a d only explanation is that the whitemans Gene is still running amock

How's that gene still present when you claimed it's from Europeans? How many women did these Europeans ràpe or "marry"? Where is it spread all over groups speaking igboid language? From Ebonyi to even Igboid groups in Rivers who have made it claim that they ain't Igbos.

I used to know this girl, she was my junior in school — Chioma. She had green eyes and lightskinned but kind of tanned since it was in the North, I later saw her mom and she had colored eyes too.

Abeg make una share update give me na🙏

My days of hunger is coming to an end soon.

kalufelix:
Orlu people of imo state used to be called "british people" ...don't know how the tag came about though..

By their neighbors?

NaijaPrince18:
Interesting cause every Igbo I’ve met has been dark skin like dark dark. I live in the abroad. I didn’t know there were light skin Igbos until social media. Igbos don’t really look any different than anyone else in Nigeria to me

Yes, I understand but I don't really understand why I'm surrounded by lightskinned Igbos. Here, almost anybody would tell you that there are a lot of lightskinned Igbos — they've successfully associated light skin with Igbos.

okeke6969:
That curiosity will definitely land you where you no know.
Light skin or not, dey your dey, and live Igbo and their female alone.
Better still, try and look for a job to do, iddle hand is a devil's workshop.

Why and how should I leave Igbo alone? Are you gonna take away my Igbo mother from me?

1Sharon:
Igbos are the only group of people that don't look like their descendants or any other group in West Africa.

I think I saw you on that thread about how Igbos looked mixed and I remember debunking y'all but right now, it's really getting weird... Yes, there are millions of darkskinned Igbos but why is this lightskin Gene scattered all over Igboland?

Nowadays, that "little Gene" is literally overpowering the dark skin gene in Igboland. I actually grew up believing there was no darkskinned Igbo person and even if I saw one, they looked different from the other ethnicities — probably because of that stereotype in my head.

That's why it was easy to accept Mr. Ibu and other darkskinned actors as Igbos because they just looked different from other ethnicities in my eyes. The human mind is crazy.

Dream25:
Hope you don dey talk like normal person, no be to dey use accent up and down..

What exactly are you talking about and how does a normal person talk?

BigDickProblems:
How about the perspective of Igbos being from the lost tribe from Israel and overtime by means of evolution retain some of its gene (lightsskin) to fit into the African weather while some couldn't.

Nah, it sounds cringy.

Omoawoke:
There’s something in history that’s missing about the people of southeast.
They are obviously mixed with foreigners including the asians.
This is a 1000% certainty. Maybe the civil war and slave trade contributed to this

How did Asians come to that part of the world? You just reminded of this girl I used to know, she looked 100% Chinese but very lightskinned. She has little eyes like Chinese people, but even more lightskinned than that actress Daniella.

Why are these lightskin Gene spread across every place that speaks igboid language or Igbo? This is not just intermarriages or rape.

Skooltynz:
i am igbo myself from imo my mom and elder sister are lightskinned, the whites later discovered chloroquin and vaccinated themselves from malaria,the white missionaries lived in igboland for centuries thats why there is catholic church everywhere

One day, I'm going to take a DNA test...

Skooltynz:
the whites married across all tribes in west africa,just that they liked eastern Nigerian women more,mind you,these marriages started over 300 years ago,so you grandma may have inherited their genes from her great,great great grand parents of over 300 years.

It makes sense now, maybe those Portuguese traders but I don't really believe this is just the reason. How can the intermarriages last that long but nobody documented them?

Skooltynz:
white colonial masters really liked igbo/ibibio/benin women because they were neat and well cultured when they lived in west Africa so they married many eastern women and of course they gave birth to hybrids children their genes are still carried and transfered down to this day.

And by the way, Igboland was one of the last place in Africa to be penerated by Europeans as it was known as the "white man's grave" due to the local diseases like malaria. The colonial rulers you're talking about came in the late 1800s, so how's this theory possible?

There are lightskinned people in other ethnicities like Igala, in fact, every ethincity has lightskinned people. I'm talking about Igbos because I've got Igbo blood in me and from what I heard my grandmother was so lightskinned she had colored eyes but her parents were full Africans. Her husband was darkskinned and my mother is darkskinned but the gene is still here, genetics is crazy!
