http://books.google.com/books?id=GUc8AAAAIAAJ&pg=PA114 I found a 'reliable' source on the statistics of Igbo skin color, Apparently the Ngwa are lightest with 19% having a fair hue and only 56% dark, the abadja are darkest with only 2.2% light and 85% dark, the rest mid toned.

So according to this book, its around 3/10 Igbo people who are light. hmm, my 1/20 was way off then.

No offense but how can they conduct an experiment about an extire tribe, yet there are a million people and more being born day and night.
I've always hated stats down on human beings such as the what race has this type of eyes, etc.  cause in reality, there are over a million people here and there.  The only way to get an accurate stat is if that person conducted their stats by counting everyone they've met and everyone in that tribe including the ones being born and the ones that's going to be born eventually. That's the only way to get the accurate stats.  But anyway, at least we've learnt how many lightskin and darkskin people among the 232 or 132 groups in the study.
Interesting read though.  Provided both igbos, edo, ibibio, etc. Interesting. At least now i've learnt 17% were light, 19.1 are middle and 63.9 are dark. Dark s for most.

Im brownskinned and Igbo but 80% of my cuzns are fair and my fiance is fair also (Igbo)
My cuz who is very fair , handome and tall with real hazel eyes, told me alot of yourba gals were chasing him in Lagos to get them pregnant.
He married a Igbo girl, she wasnt as fair as him, but their baby was very very fair~

Ohh that's funny. Similar to my cousin's predicament. He's light like his mom(she's albino) but not albino light. He's like Beyonce light. Has those yellowish hair albino people have and light brown eyes. We always told him, he escaped being albino like he's mom. According to him, girls won't leave him alone especially Naija girls. when he lived in Naija, i people used to say, ooh he's so cute, he's so cute. Two girls even forgot over him. (don't know why girls would fight over a guy). Now in america, people call him "the mack, player" and all that bull just causehe always had some girls with him. Ohh, i feel sorry for guys like that. I don't think you're cousin is complaining about it though, my cousin doesn't complain, all he does is brag about it.
Girls need to start seeing stuff other than features.

tpia:

chei!!!!

Yoruba girls don suffer!!!

_{as if the pikin go automatically get im papa features}

though black guys with green/hazel eyes and reddish skin are always in demand regardless where they're from- even if its Cotonou or the Rio Grande.

I know at least one boy like that (Yoruba) who was turned to a woman wrapper on of these features. Come and see girls pampering this guy. Giving him money and everything.

Heya, he turned to woman wrapper just for features. Tufia.

anyway, about the eyes with green/hazel eyes. Na true talk. That's oneof the reason girls love Lemar and mike ezuronye so much.

Mike Enzourye is a bloody midget. "light eyes" or not

well, I dont know what this racist platidumb is talking about- I know hazel eyed dudes who are Yoruba. Likewise they're also found in other tribes though maybe the incidence is higher in the east since Fulani arent being included in this discussion. Calabar also has a fair share.

Dont know if it was the girls chasing her cousin or her cousin chasing the girls. He sounds like one of those girly men.

Really

Tpia u must have split personalities~

Me Racist What race am I being RACIST against?? Igbo ppl nor Yoruba ppl are not a race. You dont know me, I will not go as far as to degrade u , but u need  to be checked.  You dont know my cousin, B%%%H YOU DONT KNOW ME,  all I was making was a comment, I NEVER SAID that other tribes DONT have hazel eyes, but in all my years in the US and in 9ja I've never seen it in others. Feel Free to post pics (eyeroll)

Like i said my cuz is married, he dont have time for those trifilin wh0re$ who wanted to get pregnant just because of facial features, 
Chi~ I tell u,  women are sooo bitchy~

like I said, its either girls were chasing your cousin or your cousin was chasing girls. So cut the matyr stance- na today girl dey chase men, or is that purely a Yoruba girl thing- you never heard of girls targetting boys before? And you say you live in America. In your hometown, girls dont chase this your girlish cousin? Even in the US girls chase black guys with such features since you may not know other blacks of non-Igbo extraction also have them.

I never said you saw one either- if you had you obviously wouldnt be making such statements as Yoruba Lagos girls were chasing your cousin for his fair skin and hazel eyes. If your cousin was in Lagos, did he the identity of the people chasing him or because they were speaking Yoruba he simply assumed they were Yoruba.

The first part of my initial response was tongue in cheek, since you missed that. I gave you the benefit of the doubt at first, but your other posts on NL are revealing your racism, so no need to beat around the bush.


Of course if I'd known Nigerians were this backward and dont know anything outside their backyard I'd have taken photos and started a photo journal when I was there.

If you want to start the b*tch talk be my guest. But dont complain when your lineage comes under the spotlight.

And since you dont know, let me repeat it for you: YOU ARE RACIST.

What other posts (yawns~)

My ex had hazel eyes, so I was chasing him too huh??
I'm not going to edit my words because u feel like im being Rasist towards Yorubas, my 1st bf was a Yoruba guy. U just cant accept words for what they are, WORDS.
Reading into this too much abi?

hhaha you are very funny, explain how i am racist!! so many ppl say the word dont truely know what it means.
I wasnt in lagos to watch girls chase after him, but he told me that Yoruba girls were after him, he mentioned it, so I guess he's rasist too yeahhhhh ok,

From Wikipedia: Although the term racism usually denotes race-based prejudice, violence, discrimination, or oppression, the term can also have varying and hotly contested definitions. Racialism is a related term, sometimes intended to avoid these negative meanings. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, racism is a belief or ideology that all of each racial group possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race, especially to distinguish it as being either superior or inferior to another racial group or racial groups. The Merriam-Webster's Dictionary defines racism as a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular racial group, and that it is also the prejudice based on such a belief. The Macquarie Dictionary defines racism as: "the belief that human races have distinctive characteristics which determine their respective cultures, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to rule or dominate others."

haha girls who chase guy from where I live suck, Guys chase me

tpia:



tell me how your OP is different from this one here:



the Yoruba say na for inside joke truth dey. No saint and no sinner pointing fingers here. Lagos girls didnt tie a rope around your cousin and lasso him into the bed.

Well it doesnt bother me, at all. Its her opinion and I for one, will not try to change it. I dont go after men, so if a yoruba guy likes me, thats on him.  Maybe she worried about losing her culture, I dunno.

I'm sure that thread got all kinds of negative commentary "we dont want ur men,  blah blah blah" So I didn't read it.

The OP' s post doesnt make her racist, probally tribal, but who isnt proud of where they come from?

lightskin nigerians.
Esan/ishan

Kalabari 

Ibibio

Efik

Etsakor

Owan

ijaw.

Stick to one abeg.

Are you sure you even know naija people. Out of all the list of tribe you provided, Ibibio are the only ones with lightskin people. Though i like some ijaw people but lightskin, you dey crazy? And where is Fulani? Edo? hell i know you hate igbo people but abeg, stick to the truth.

It's exaggerated. But I've noticed in most Igbo families, at least one person would be light.

If Igbo men likes light-skinned girls, do they actually prefer to date white women or Asian girls?
just curious!

They genrally prefer to marry their own women, ndi Igbo o wu ezioku?

Yes, I believe it is exagerrated personally.

I don't fink so.

I don't think Ijaws tend to be lightskinned, but if you don't know anything about other groups outside of those you've interacted with don't make stuff up. You don't seem to "know naija people" either because many Ishan are in fact light skinned. The poster never said "Edo," he/she said Esan, Etsako, and Owan, not Edo.

Omo pupa ye, iwo ni mo feran o.

Omo dudu, ma fi e se ale mi.

What have you done?
