Genetic riddle: Nmachi with her parents Ben and Angela
Posted on 07/31/2010 3:43:24 PM PDT by Kaslin
Like any expectant mum, Angela Ihegboro spent many hours wondering what her new baby would look like. She made no secret of the fact that she hoped the little girl would turn out to be 'just a mini version of me'.
'We used to joke about it,' she says, rolling her eyes as she looks at her husband Benjamin. 'We have two children already and they are both the spitting image of their father. We found out at a scan that this baby was a girl, and all through the pregnancy I'd say: "it is my turn now. This one is going to look exactly like me." '
To say that didn't quite happen is an understatement. in fact, the tiny little scrap lying in her arms today could hardly look less like her mother. Or her father, for that matter.
Both Angela and Ben are black, of Nigerian stock, with dark brown eyes and dark hair.
Little Nmachi, who is just two weeks old, is about as white as you can get - and with piercing blue eyes and a shock of the blondest hair to boot. And no, she isn't albino.
Those friends and relatives popping in to welcome the new arrival can be forgiven for hesitating over that traditional conversation: Who does she look like? in truth, the only name that comes to mind when you look at the little girl is Boris Johnson (although it hardly needs pointing out that the distinctive features are a million times cuter in a baby girl).

You’re not making any sense. This is a news story, worthy of discussion. There’s nothing racist about it, and the OP isn’t race baiting either.
He was in a DNA database that got searched.
What a beautiful little girl. Actually, I do think she has some of her mother’s features.
Stunning children! Always wished I’d had blue eyes—their eyes are a particularly beautiful color.
Then why did you not remove the posts?
Fascinating story. A genetic mutation of this type does not seem farfetched at all to me, because this had to have happened in the distant past, and often, in order for whites to exist at all—presuming that the earliest humans were black as ethnologists believe.

Aren’t they?

For African Americans, quite possible, but for Nigerians, not likely. Even less likely in this case because it would take one on each side, since blue eyes are recessive. As the article points out.
I am sure the scientist will eventually discover how it happened
