White Baby Born to Nigerians

[Útrám]

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."

Probably Albino or some rare mutation genetics.. It's rare but it does happen

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.

Well genetic mutations do happen. That's precisely why white people exist in the first place. I'd bet that the baby will darken somewhat.

Old!

The baby shows even blond hair (rare for albinos if she is) you can see that we're just all (well our bodies) a bunch of genetic coding and nothing more, these genes or codes are made up of molecules and then atoms , these atoms are replaced every year by others and only 6% or around of our atoms where the same as last year! .. Our behaviors, looks, likes all based on these bunch of coding! Put the piece "right" together and you'll have this baby as a result...

This is why people need to stop acting like their shit don't smell

The baby isn't 'white.' She is just lighter skinned but she is still black.

No, you do not get to mate with her when grown up, if she survives the witch hunts.

Except for the Haitians right? A bunch of barbaric Aliens they are.

In an individual level I meant.

What? It's precisely this "coding" that allows for variation of human beings and it's the principles of natural, social, and artificial selection which enables one group to adapt to a certain environment better than another. "We're just all a bunch of genetic coding" is a very simplistic and distorted viewpoint to minimalise the significance of biological inherencies on the sociological principles of certain human groups. I thought you were "progressive", they enjoy the principle of eugenics so much they enacted it, with forced sterilizations.
