    A BLACK couple coo over their new baby yesterday - a white, blue-eyed BLONDE.
    British Nmachi Ihegboro has amazed genetics experts who say the little girl is NOT an albino.
    Dad Ben, 44, a customer services adviser, admitted: "We both just sat there after the birth staring at her."

    Mum Angela, 35, of Woolwich, South London, beamed as she said: "She's beautiful - a miracle baby."
    Ben told yesterday how he was so shocked when Nmachi was born, he even joked: "Is she MINE?"
    He added: "Actually, the first thing I did was look at her and say, 'What the flip?'"
    But as the baby's older brother and sister - both black - crowded round the "little miracle" at their home in South London, Ben declared: "Of course she's mine."
    Blue-eyed blonde Nmachi, whose name means "Beauty of God" in the Nigerian couple's homeland, has baffled genetics experts because neither Ben nor wife Angela have ANY mixed-race family history.
    Pale genes skipping generations before cropping up again could have explained the baby's appearance.

    Ben also stressed: "My wife is true to me. Even if she hadn't been, the baby still wouldn't look like that.
    "We both just sat there after the birth staring at her for ages - not saying anything."
    Doctors at Queen Mary's Hospital in Sidcup - where Angela, from nearby Woolwich, gave birth - have told the parents Nmachi is definitely no albino.
    Ben, who came to Britain with his wife five years ago and works for South Eastern Trains, said: "She doesn't look like an albino child anyway - not like the ones I've seen back in Nigeria or in books. She just looks like a healthy white baby."
    He went on: "My mum is a black Nigerian although she has a bit fairer skin than mine.
    "But we don't know of any white ancestry. We wondered if it was a genetic twist.

    Wow.
    Doctors at Queen Mary's Hospital in Sidcup - where Angela, from nearby Woolwich, gave birth - have told the parents Nmachi is definitely no albino.

    What's wrong with being Albino?

    F*cking Albinoists everywhere.

    The expert said some unknown mutation was the most likely explanation.

    NO! the most likely explanation is the wife was ****ing a white guy..

    Hmm. I guess I'll have to take your word for it. But I have heard of something like this happening before, the white genes in their ancestry just happened to become dominant in the baby.

    Doctors at Queen Mary's Hospital in Sidcup - where Angela, from nearby Woolwich, gave birth - have told the parents Nmachi is definitely no albino.

    Ben, who came to Britain with his wife five years ago and works for South Eastern Trains, said: "She doesn't look like an albino child anyway - not like the ones I've seen back in Nigeria or in books. She just looks like a healthy white baby."

    He went on: "My mum is a black Nigerian although she has a bit fairer skin than mine.

    "But we don't know of any white ancestry. We wondered if it was a genetic twist.

    "But even then, what is with the long curly blonde hair?"

    Professor Bryan Sykes, head of Human Genetics at Oxford University and Britain's leading expert, yesterday called the birth "extraordinary".

    He said: "In mixed race humans, the lighter variant of skin tone may come out in a child - and this can sometimes be startlingly different to the skin of the parents.

    "This might be the case where there is a lot of genetic mixing, as in Afro-Caribbean populations. But in Nigeria there is little mixing."

    Prof Sykes said BOTH parents would have needed "some form of white ancestry" for a pale version of their genes to be passed on.

    But he added: "The hair is extremely unusual. Even many blonde children don't have blonde hair like this at birth."

    The expert said some unknown mutation was the most likely explanation.

    He admitted: "The rules of genetics are complex and we still don't understand what happens in many cases."

    The amazing birth comes five years after Kylie Hodgson became mum to twin daughters - one white and the other black - in Nottingham.

    Kylie, now 23, and her partner Remi Horder, now 21, are both mixed race.

    Even so the odds were estimated at a million to one.

    The Sun told in 2002 how a white couple had Asian twins after a sperm mix-up by a fertility clinic.

    Yesterday three-day-old Nmachi's churchgoing mum Angela admitted that she was "speechless" at first seeing her baby girl, who was delivered in a caesarean op.

    She said: "I thought, 'What is this little doll?'

    "She's beautiful and I love her. Her colour doesn't matter. She's a miracle baby.

    "But still, what on earth happened here?"

    Her husband told how their son Chisom, four, was even more confused than them by his new sister.

    Ben said: "Our other daughter Dumebi is only two so she's too young to understand.

    "But our boy keeps coming to look at his sister and then sits down looking puzzled.

    "We're a black family. Suddenly he has a white sister."

    Ben continued: "Of course, we are baffled too and want to know what's happened. But we understand life is very strange.

    "All that matters is that she's healthy and that we love her.She's a proud British Nigerian."

    Queen Mary's Hospital said: "Congratulations to Angela and her family on the birth of their daughter."

    Mutation: it is the key to our evolution. It has enabled us to evolve from a single-celled organism into the dominant species on the planet. This process is slow, and normally taking thousands and thousands of years. But every few hundred millennia, evolution leaps forward.

    I bet lasers shoot out of its eyes as soon as they open!

    We were told by some religious group that there would be a miracle around this time, is this it?

    It is not uncommon for blacks to have white newborn babies ~ and the baby develops his colouring a little later, in a few hours or days ~ don't believe I've seen a baby like this ~ it does not look black at all ~ even if the mother had been unfaithful with a white guy, it does not look like this either.

    I must tag this story and watch its development.

    I'm guessing it's a tag that caused this situation in the first place.

    Right now there is some white woman from the same ward pleading with her white husband that, despite the evidence that is yet another "little miracle" on this planet, she was wasn't getting it daily from the black postman .

    You get your colour from your father. As example the Spanish Conquistadors, from 1490 or so on, killed all South American Indian and Aztec males and mated with their females ~ they made a new race of people we call Latino today.

    It was a deliberate attempt at what we'd call 'ethnic cleansing' today.

    But to make your point, you won't immediately get a white baby from a mixed white male/black female relationship, over time a new race develops and stabilises as it reproduces itself.

    The male delivers the primary DNA that tells the female DNA what it should become. Potentially the female egg could become a variety of species ~ in laboratory conditions.
