Confusion As Nigerian Parents Give Birth To Miracle Blonde-Haired White Baby

Nigerian couple, Angela and Ben Ihegboro gave birth to a beautiful baby girl, and was speechless. It wasn't just her daughter Nmachi‘s beauty that left her at a loss for words. Angela and her husband Ben are both dark-skinned native Nigerian immigrants, but gave birth to Nmachi in London, and Nmachi was decidedly lighter than her parents. In fact, she came out “white.”

Of course, early speculation was that Angela may have been unfaithful to her husband, but Ben shot that notion down immediately. Not only that, he accurately pointed out, but even if infidelity on Angela’s part is what produced her “miracle’ baby, there’s no man white enough to make an offspring that void of melanin.

Doctor’s have a list of potential reasons to the NY Post as to why the Ihegboros gave birth to a blonde-haired, blue-eyed baby.

• 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.
