I wonder about his myself and i asked my father once and he was unable to give me any thing concrete. My grandmother was Igbo and all her children including my father have really fair skin and very fine texture hair, really wavy hair. I asked my grand mum once if there was any mixing in the blood line she knew of and she said no and that infact her father was also very light skinned but, his father apparently was proper dark so was my great grand mother. So i concluded that at some point in history there must have been a mix with another race and it just skipped a generation with my grandmother and her sisters, i noticed the grand children being us and some of my cousins from my grand mother's side have really light skin and very long and fine hair. I still want to research this, at some time i will go to Nigeria and try, it does make me wonder bcos especially with the hair issue, my third sister has very curly hair . well it does puzzle us but we have now put it down to maybe having foreign ancestry. I wonder,,,,,,,,,
