[b]" Heidi Klum has become close with her bodyguard of four years, Martin Kristen -- too close, according to the supermodel's soon-to-be ex-husband, Seal.

During a recent family getaway to Sardinia, Project Runway host Klum, 39, was spotted getting close to Kristen, wrapping her arm around his neck and touching his back. When Seal, 49, arrived at an airport in the U.S. August 31, TMZ asked the "Kiss From a Rose" singer to comment on Klum's rumored relationship with Kristen -- and that's when he dropped another bombshell.
Look boys, that's what happens when two people separate. They move on and that generally means [they have] other people in their lives," Seal explained. "I necessarily don't expect to Heidi to all of a sudden become a nun, but as always, my main priority is the emotional well being of our children."

Klum filed for divorce in April, and the two have taken turns co-parenting their children, Leni, 8, Henry, 6, Johan, 5, and Lou, 2. Seal also filed his own divorce papers in April.
To be quite honest, if there is going to be somebody else in their lives, I'd much rather it was a familiar face. I guess the only thing I would have preferred is that. . . I guess I didn't expect any better from him, I would have preferred Heidi show a little bit more class and at least wait until we separated first before deciding to fornicate with the help, as it were," Seal told TMZ. "But I guess you now all have the answer that you've been looking for for the past seven months."
Klum hinted there was more to her split with Seal in an April interview with ELLE magazine. "To the outside world, you don't really share all the things that happen. You kind of share just the most amazing sides," she explained. "But I don't really want to get into any of that stuff. With my life, my family, my business -- I want to go forward.""[/b]

KingMichael: =

You missed my point. I know a gun is a much better weapon.

But when I mean deadly... I mean this..

These guys were decapitated by the Mexican cartels using machetes... That is why I say the machete is more deadly/violent. That's why I said it would take a nut to hack someone to death. Would you rather be shot in the head or hacked to death?

OMG

another troll thread: and about incest, a disgusting part of human nature that happens in every culture inside and outside Nigeria

nyameke: ok I had figured your statement was based on some of the inhumane atrocities perpetrated against dark skinned races in America.. But having said that , your statement should have been " being black in Brazil WAS hell of a lot better than being a black in America " because as far as I know blacks in Brazil are more or less like second class citizens as compared to their counterparts in America now ..

its debatable but nonetheless I will go as far and even say blacks in America have it better by whatever social equality perimeter or standard be it equal rights, economic equity etc than all the other blacks in the diaspora...

The good thing about blacks in America was and is that they sought , fought and are still fighting to obtain and enjoy the rights( equal, economic etc ) they currently have while south American blacks just settled with the status quo..

Cosign 100%

ifyalways: Erhm a little correction. Parents of the couple don't pay the wedding bills in the "whole" part of Nigeria, atleast not in Igbo land. Its the responsibility of the groom and his people. Ofcourse, the bride and her people can support if they have and are willing to do so.

interesting, I didn't know this

[quote author=tpia@]the info is probably online now.[/quote]yeah

TerryCarr: remember blacks maybe the most disadvantage but they are not the majority of the poor since the make up about 7.6% you also got the Pardo/mixed(43.1%) which has probably more poor people and don't forget the natives and a sizable poor white pop so you just can't give only black special rights and plus it makes blacks look dumb . quotas for the poor makes more sense

I agree, that is why I said that I think affirmative action in Brazil is complicated, if they are doing Affirmative action they need to include mixed race and natives in the list, and in a way your view of making it for poor makes more sense in a way but because of the disparity of wealth between whites and black Brazilians and the in between, race comes into play, it is unavoidable. I feel if The Brazilian government had fix this wide difference between the races this wouldn't have reached to the problem it is now but because it is still there Affirmative action reared it's ugly head.

Love the videos

TerryCarr: read my article and watch the vids i put up

I haven't finished watching everything yet, so I will say more if anything comes to my attention.

TerryCarr: here is a video about it

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDNJoeSAAb8

here is a video about the twins
http://www.thirteen.org/edonline/wideangle/videobank/brazil_identity.html

Full documentary here. it is very interesting
http://www.pbs.org/wnet/wideangle/episodes/brazil-in-black-and-white/video-full-episode/2104/

I haven't finished watching the last documentary but the video does give in sight, when it comes to bringing affirmative action to Brazil, I feel it makes things complicated because Brazil are mostly mixed, it is hard to put people in a box but the reason why I feel this is Karma for the people against it is because these same people are not finding solutions on how to stop Blacks from all being poor and living in slums and all whites Brazilians controlling the wealth in Brazil, Until Brazilians start solving this problem affirmative action will start having more leg room in Brazil. I am not against or for it particularly in Brazil but when there is differences between what blacks and whites get in Brazil when it comes to progression this shouldn't be a surprise. Your videos are good though it is very complicated in that country due to the racial mixture.

the second video is funny, both twins look the same but are classified different racially, that one is just weird, doesn't make sense

TerryCarr: i seen black in L. America on pbs. he denied it

Who denied what? and in 40:27 the black brazilian he was talking to said different, even the black Brazilian actress high lighted some of that in the documentary I just showed, any way watch these videos because this just shows what most live as second class citizens:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZctDfysuhg

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vj8lP-yg04U&feature=relmfu

The only difference between Brazil and the rest of South America is that they at least admit their black african heritage or connection while some other south american countries refuse to admit the connection.

TerryCarr: blacks in Latin America may have problems but i would rather live there then america in the 1900's.

I agree, there was no segregation, jim Crow and etc in Brazil like it is in America then, but you can even add though that because black americans fought for their rights by force in America, it gave them the opportunity to have more standing in America then Black Brazilians that didn't, and that is why I said you will never see a Oprah in Brazil or a Black billionaire because black Brazilians are permanently put in a level in the country where they can't progress to higher lengths. I feel what gives Brazilians more leg room then Black americans is that they managed to retain some of the culture from their african ancestors like the ancient Yoruba religion for example then black americans, and they have gained from that today.

TerryCarr: Brazil is not obsessed with race as America is

True to a extent but when it comes to opportunities to be given to Black Brazilians, it just isn't there at all, they have no opprotunities in the government, entertainment industry and etc

TerryCarr: Machado de Assis
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/40/Machado_de_Assis_aos_57_anos.jpg
"was a Brazilian novelist, poet, playwright, short story writer, and advocate of monarchism. Widely regarded as the greatest writer of Brazilian literature, nevertheless he did not gain widespread popularity outside Brazil in his own lifetime. He was multilingual, having learned French, English, German, and Greek later in life.

Machado's works had a great influence on Brazilian literary schools of the late 19th century and early 20th century. José Saramago, Carlos Fuentes, Woody Allen and Susan Sontag are among his admirers, the American critic Harold Bloom calls him "the supreme black literary artist to date"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joaquim_Barbosa
"is the only black Supreme Federal Tribunal justice minister in Brazil.

Although many people believe he is the first black justice minister in Brazilian Supreme Court, he is actually the third one. He was preceded by:

Hermenegildo de Barros (from 1919 to 1937)
Pedro Lessa (from 1907 to 1921)"

Nilo Peçanha the 7th President
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c0/Nilo_Pe%C3%A7anha_02.jpg
"was a Brazilian politician. He was Governor of Rio de Janeiro State (1903–1906), then elected Vice-President of Brazil in 1906. He assumed the presidency in 1909 following the death of President Afonso Pena and served until 1910. He was disputably the only mulatto president of Brazil."

Thanks for this info I never knew about this guy, but this is where I will come and bring this up with you, was he identified as a Black brazilian or closer then, or when he was known in Brazil was he painted as brazilian and more toward the white brazilian side because he can pass for white, so it makes you wonder will he had made it if he looked more black because obama looks more black then him, but any way your info is enlightening

[b]"The World Bank on Tuesday said that it has budgeted $300 million (equivalent to about N4.8 billion) for Youth Employment and Social Support Operation (YESSO) scheme in Nigeria.

Marie-Francoise Mariel-Nelly, Country Director of the World Bank in Nigeria disclosed this in Abuja at the 53rd Annual conference of the Nigerian Economic Society (NES).

“We are preparing a Youth Employment and Social Support operation (YESSO) aiming at supporting the provision of immediate work opportunities and skills development for unemployed youths and women from poor households,” she said.

Ms Mariel-Nelly said increasing youth employment was one of the bank’s global priorities as it had observed that one in five of all new job seekers in Africa were Nigerians.

“The $300 million project will cover all parts of the country in up to 20 states,” she said.

She said that the World Bank with support from the EU would launch the State Employment and Expenditure for results project (SEEFOR) in the Niger Delta region.

She said the aim was to take youths off the streets as well as improve the country’s infrastructure.

According to her, ACCESS bank had demonstrated commitment to opening employment opportunities for graduates of Information Communication Technology through target training in core competencies benchmarked to global industry standards.

“The bank provides matching grant as seed money to empower young farmers to adopt new technologies and acquire capital assets, which they use to undertake a wide range of value addition and small-scale income generating activities,” she said.

She said youth unemployment was a threat to social and political stability as was evident in the youth restiveness in the Niger Delta.

Ms Mariel-Nelly said the bank would continue to support government efforts to address the challenge of unemployment in the country. "[/b]

Black Kenichi: True! Brazillians love to go on about how there is no racism in Brazil but it's a load of bull.

True, I think Black brazilians are beautiful people but they live like total second class citizens in their country, and it is not right.

Tesiday: What if Chelsea does not have brother? Is Chelsea not going to get married? If she does,what if her husband does not like all those complicated and twisted names? And if Chelsea has a brother,won't they ask why they have to bear their mother's father family name alongside their own father's name? Please,don't let us deceive ourselves, white is white....trying to make it black is scam. If you don't have a male child as a man or woman,that does not mean you should contest the natural role of male children of keeping the family name.

Well some women in the western world are contesting that surname role, and trying to do it themselves, To me as I said before I don't care, when married I will have the last name of my husband; compound names to me complicate things but to a few women out there they think differently which is their issue.. The point I am saying is should it be the reason why males are treated of value over females? and that answer is NO. You and me are talking about two different things

ogugua88: Paris Hilton? Most have forgotten about her. If people stop saying her name, she may disappear altogether lol.

Amen, I agree

TerryCarr: being black in Brazil is hell of a lot better then being black in America

Well maybe with history between both countries you may have points but in general NO, because at least african americans have a Oprah, Barack & Michelle Obama, Denzel Washington, Colin Powell, Condolessa Rice, and etc but in Brazil there can never be a Oprah & Obama there or a voice for Black Brazilians, the only voice they have is they admit that they have black african heritage compared to other or most South American countries that don't. I am not saying that Black Brazilians are going through a apartheid but when they can't have a voice in the government, entertainment industry, and etc in Brazil, while white Brazilians are controlling almost all that I listed, it makes you wonder.

well wishing her a happy birthday

dayokanu: So that means the Rodham family name would have died also (if Hilary was the only child) which validates the assertion of names dying with female kids

yeah, but I never argued about that surname issue, it is inevitable, but from what I heard Hillary has brothers, so that rodham name will continue. However if Hillary had rejected her husbands(bill Clinton) last name and retained hers(just Hillary Rodham), and she had a boy and decided to use her Rodham last name with Bill Clintons last name, and combine it into a compound name for her children, Chelsea could have had the Rodham-Clinton last name and if she had a brother that Rodham-Clinton last name would have went down some generations.

My argument is the surname issue shouldn't be the reason why males are valued over females in the first place though, the question is should it matter?

dayokanu: And would their children bear these compound names too

E.g Chelsea Clinton was she known by the Rodham name?

well I guess it is up to those kids but in all cases NO, I never seen the kids bear the compound names of their mothers(maiden and husbands last name), but there are cases where kids from mothers, who never took these kids fathers last name(so NO Compound name), pass on their last name with the fathers last name which results in the children having compound names, only in the western world.

When it comes to Chelsea Clinton she took her father's last name and wasn't known by the Roddam name, which I feel would have been crazy if she did but I am talking about the wives, not what the kids will bear which is almost always the fathers last name unless it is the case which I said earlier(where the mother refused the surname of the father in the first place).

ifeness: Whether we kicked them out or not,they are making $100b dollars off our resources every year and yet we remain in poverty. Is it not better we allowed them finish up with that they started. At least we were better off then than now. All i heard from my parents was how Nigeria used to be good,but now when we ruled ourselves it all about corruption and bad economy. Malaysia,India nd a few Asian countries were colonized and are doing better than we Negro Africans.

I did not say all African are black,i was only in particular about the Negros. Since we have started chasing our monarchs out of their palaces,i do wonder what we gonna do next.

Actually I disagree, if the colonizers had stayed longer they would have found out about our precious resource(oil) and the country would have turned into another South Africa or Brazil where the blacks will be second class citizens because for sure the British wouldn't have left but that doesn't mean Nigeria is paradise though. When it comes to what my parents told me about Nigeria, is that it was doing good for a while after independence, that the naira was equal to the dollar then, especially when Murtala Mohammed was around but once illiterates like Abacha and all those other clowns got into office things changed. SO I wouldn't sell Nigeria short there were some good leaders in the beginning but they were either assassinated or removed from power, and that's when we saw the downhill.

TerryCarr: africa was not the only place taking over,
[img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/45/World_1914_empires_colonies_territory.PNG[/img] so that's not really an excuse to be dysfunctional

Why isn't south America completely Yellow, almost the whole continent was colonized by Spain, and Brazil colonized by Portugal, don't know why they colored it grey, any way good map

These I did:
"dip bread inside tea"
"Mix the entire white rice and stew b4 eating"
"Crack the bone and suck out the marrow"
"Can`t eat he meat until you finish the food"

p.s. the third one was only chicken

[quote author=PAGAN 9JA]and chained them. .[/quote]yup I forgot that as well

odumchi: Interesting thread. Who knew that little Senegal could outshine Côte d' Ivoire and Cameroon in fashion.

Anyway, that guy in the video resembles Awilo.

I was surprised to, I would think Ivory Coast

yup he does look like Awilo

Blyss: Well, your observations are a bit on target in this regard. I'll admit that a rather large percentage seem to be South Easterners, this seems to be due to various reasons, but mostly based on the fact of that South Easterners are just a more open minded people integration friendly people. This is why you find so m[b]any more Igbo-Americans and other South Eastern Nigerian ethnics involved in basketball, and American Football here in the US, than you do[/b] other regional groups.

interesting
well true their are alot of igbo Americans in American football and basketball

Interesting

kabirv: Boys play better football
They are not afraid of spiders
Boys don't cry so much
And no menses and stuff like that
Can't name all the reasons I like to have a male kid more than a female

lol
