When Angela Ihegboro first saw her newborn daughter, she was “speechless.”
“She’s a miracle baby,” the 35-year-old mother said yesterday. “But still, what on earth happened here?”
What happened is that baby Nmachi is a blue-eyed, blond-haired white baby born to two black Nigerian immigrant parents at a London hospital.
“The first thing I said was, ‘What the flip?’ ” said the father, Ben Ihegboro. “We both just sat there after the birth staring at her for ages — not saying anything.”
He quickly sought to dispel any speculation.
“Of course she is mine. My wife is true to me,” the 44-year-old customer-service adviser said. “Even if she hadn’t been, the baby still wouldn’t look like that.”
Genetics experts don’t believe in miracles, but they didn’t have any simple answers to the mystery of baby Nmachi. Instead, they offered three theories:
* She’s the result of a gene mutation unique to her. If that is the case, Nmachi would pass the gene to her children — and they, too, would likely be white.
* She’s the product of long-dormant white genes, passed on to her by her parents, that might have been carried by their predecessors for generations without surfacing until now.
* While doctors have said Nmachi is not an outright albino, or lacking in all pigment, they added that the child may have some kind of mutated version of the genetic condition — and that her skin could darken over time.
The reason why Nigerian Igbo couple are blessed with such a wonderful blond baby is because,Igbos are beautiful and blessed.On August 1999,I had my 3rd child a girl up till now Some people dont believe she is my daughter because she came out almost white and very beautiful.Thank God for His blessing
I don’t understand… Why is having light or white skin a blessing vs having skin like your parents???
Subliminal brainwashing. Many blacks are subliminally and overtly brainwashed into believing that white is [referable. It is not. My skin is brown. I would not have it lightened for any reason. There are many others who believe that our skin color is perfect.
People who feel blessed to have a white child born to dark skinned people actually feel that their color is a curse. It is not. Therefore to have a “white” child is to confirm a blessing on them. My personal feeling is that they are being “shamed.” Perhaps it is to give them an opportunity for introspection.
First of all the child is not white…look at her nose. Secondly, as far as I can based on my own background in genetics…little baby Nmachi’s appearance is bodering on a regressive gene that is akin to some sort of albinoism.
