In brazil Most People Don't Work On Mondays

By Lucio at August 22, 2021    No comments

In my country, the most important day of the week is Monday because most people need to hustle and make money, and as the great musician in Nigeria said in his song, aro Monday Eko oni GBA GBA Ku Gba o. This simple means Lagosians must work on Mondays


In Nigeria, Mondays is for hustling but in Brazil, it is different lots of businesses don't work on Mondays in Brazil like some feiras and some other shops, feiras are like, let's say tejuosho market in Nigeria.


Me as a Lagos boy I work on Mondays and I don't seat at home, don't be surprised when you come To Brazil and see shop's closed on a Monday

In Brazil prostitution is legal .18+

By Lucio at August 22, 2021    No comments

This is very important so that you don't run into trouble trying to do what you are not supposed to do because in Brazil women have rights and women are free and like I told you already women wear bum shorts like pure water in Brazil and remember Brazilian women are hot and sexy, now imagine a hot and sexy woman on bum shorts.


In Africa, we harass women we see on bum shorts and there is video evidence online but in Brazil, women are free to dress the way they want


So if konji hold you which simply means if you are horny, please look for a Program girl that is what it is called in Brazil and it is legal and no police would arrest you

Have A Skill Before Coming To Brazil

By Lucio at August 22, 2021    No comments

This is very important because if you have a skill you won't go broke in Brazil and you would always make money, so before coming to Brazil learn a skill, any skill  and you would make money, even if you are a cobbler you would make money, where I live there is no cobbler, I have to take a bus to another area to fix my shoe and in Africa, the case is different because you find cobblers everywhere, so learn and have a  skill and you will enjoy Brazil, I didn't have a skill before coming to Brazil but now I do

How to detect an online shopping scam in Brazil

By Lucio at August 22, 2021    No comments

I talk about it, how I was scammed in Brazil and as I told you the online shops that most scammers use in Brazil are grade A, Top-Notch, you can never detect that it is a scam site trying to steal your money 


The first thing you should do is not to fall for cheap products, scammers in Brazil often use this trick to lure and scam people 


Buy from recognized online shops that are popular in brazil we have many of them 


Always ask for CNPJ as a business owner myself I sell online and my business is registered and I told you all  how to register your business in Brasil, so it is good to have a registered business and clients would trust you, so before you buy online always ask the seller for their CNPJ

Make sure the name on the Cnpj is the same as the name on the account that the seller is asking you to send money to 


We mostly use Ali express in brazil and it is very secure


Always ask for the  address of the shop, but a Cnpj would be enough because lots of online sellers don't have shops but some do, So these are how you can protect yourself against online shopping scams in Brazil

In Brazil, You Must Learn To Be Patient

By Lucio at August 22, 2021    2 comments

As a Lagos boy we are used to getting things done very fast, everyone is in a hurry and even on the roads people are honking and cursing, and ATM spot people are quarrel, well in Brazil you must learn to calm down


In Brazil, people don't honk like crazy unless they have to, unlike Lagos where they sing songs with their horn


At ATM spots people queue and nobody shouts at anyone you must allow the person to do whatever they like and when it gets to your turn you can do whatever you like as well, so I have adapted to the Brazilian way of living, I don't rush  and I take my time

Snowfall in Brasil

By Lucio at August 22, 2021    No comments

Brazil is a blessed country with everything, they have oil and Brazil is a very strong agricultural country and I think Nigeria should learn from Brazil, they are the largest exporters of beef and also the largest exporters of coffee for the past 150yrs, so agriculture is a big deal in Brazil and many people don't know it actually snows in Brazil 


The weather is great to produce everything they need and there is a particular state in Brazil where it snows and you can see the video and it is not in the mountains but in the city, these and many more are the reasons why I love Brazil, enjoy the video

How Brazilians Eat Garri

By Lucio at August 22, 2021    No comments

I talked about so many things I love about Brazil and if you missed it you can read about it on my page, we have so many African foods in Brazil and this has to do with the slave trade, and remember many slaves were Brought down here and they came here with their cultures and traditions plus their food yes, we have plantain, cassava, cocoyam, yam, garri, palm oil


Now Brazilians don't eat garri like us, they call it farofa in Brasil and they mostly use it to thicken their food and they sprinkle it on rice, lol yes rice and they love it 


Well for me I enjoy my garri like the picture you see below the African way

In Brazil, men carry handbags for women

By Lucio at August 22, 2021    No comments

I know as an African you would be surprised right. Lol, so was I until I got used to seeing those everywhere, and in Brazil, chivalry is not dead, men still Open doors for women and they carry handbags for women


So it is normal in Brazil to see men holding the handbag of their   wives or girlfriend while they are walking and this can't happen in Africa because the society would say the woman has caged the man with African voodoo, lol


Even the women in Africa won't even allow a man to carry her handbag because society would say she is using voodoo on the man, so the society frowns on such, but here in Brazil it is perfectly normal

Brazil works Just Fine

By Lucio at August 22, 2021    No comments

You know I always see people talking bad about Brazil and I am always pissed because most of the people saying this are not even in Brazil and many of them just visited Brazil and maybe Rio, Brazil is not all about Rio and the favelas, the county is big and in fact the biggest in South America


You can't compare Brazil to any country in Africa, I would give you an example, you remember the ebeano supermarket that was burned down by a kid, how come the Nigerian fire service could not save the building? or at least even try


Now in Brazil, a friend of mine his son was playing and hit his head and this was around 1am, he should have called an ambulance but he forgot and quickly rushed to the nearest hospital at 1am and he was told they don't treat kids there and he went back home and called the ambulance and they came, gave first aid to the kid and then drove him in the ambulance to another hospital and here is the best part it was all free and remember this happened around 1am and they don't live in an area for rich people like how it is in Africa where it is the rich people that have access to this kind of treatment.


Another one happened, this time I made the video myself with my phone, it happened at the back of where I live and I don't live in a posh neighborhood, but it is a nice and lovely area, a guy had an accident and within 10min the ambulance arrived and before you know what was happening we started hearing the sound of a helicopter, lo and behold they landed at the back of my street, I was surprised and the guy that had this accident is not the son of the president or a politician, he was treated fairly and equally, the helicopter flew the guy to the hospital and I was wondering why the ambulance didn't just take him, I guess the guy was in a very bad shape and they wanted him To receive treatment fast, I attached the video below, So Brazil works just that the Brazilian bureaucracy is slow, but the country works just fine

It Is Normal To See People Drinking Beer In The Morning In Brazil

By Lucio at August 22, 2021    No comments

You know in many African countries this is not normal but in Brasil don't be surprised when you see people drinking beer in the morning and as I have told you before Brazil is a fun and lovely country, it is a country for fun and partying and family, this is why I love brazil


The main reason why you see people drink in the morning  is that many of them work nights, unlike in Africa where many people don't work at night, so this is one of the major reasons why you see people drinking beers at beer shops in the morning

Drivers obey zebra crossing in Brazil

By Lucio at August 22, 2021    No comments

As a Lagos boy, I know how crazy it is in Lagos and how the drivers are crazy and they drive anyhow, they Disobey traffic laws and they don't respect pedestrians, and the worse part is they take one way and I have gotten used to making sure the roads are clear before I cross because in Lagos you have to watch out for cars that love taking one way especially the rich ones and the people in power, nobody really respects zebra crossing in Lagos


But in Brazil they respect the pedestrians, we have bike lanes and every other thing and just stand at the zebra Crossing and cars would stop even the president of Brazil would stop and the police as well, so it is well respected here

The European side of Brazil

By Lucio at August 22, 2021    No comments

When people hear of Brazil they think about the beach in Rio and favelas, Nah, Brazil is more than that, we have many Europeans/European cities in Brazil and many of them settled in the south of Brazil and you have a state like Santa Catarina, that state is just like Europe no difference, it is very beautiful and well developed


We also have a place like Switzerland in brazil


We have another place in the same state that looks just like Germany and you can see the picture below, so please when you think of Brazil think Europe, not just Rio, and favelas

Open Display Of Affection Is Normal In Brazil

By Lucio at August 22, 2021    No comments

One of the things that shocked me when I got to brazil was the open display of affection, you would see people kissing on the road, I mean French kissing and everyone minds their business, you would see people holding hands, even in buses people hold each other inside buses, in bars or clubs people kiss 


Hey, don't blame me I am African we love to pretend, lol and this is why I am surprised but I have adjusted already. Lol


In Brazil they always say if you don't hold a woman's hand it means you don't really love her, so Brazilians love to show off  their partners, everywhere you go in Brazil you must see people holding hands both old and young, so Brazilians believe in open display of affection unlike what we have in Africa, So don't be shocked when you arrive in  brazil

What You Call Half-Naked Dressing In Africa Is Normal In Brazil 18+

By Lucio at August 22, 2021    No comments

The first thing that hit me when I arrived in brazil was women in bum shorts, I was surprised and shocked and don't blame me I am from Africa a place where they mock and even kill women for wearing such, and even in some countries they blame the way women dress for the high rate of rape, but this is not true, men should be able to control what is in between their legs.


Brazilian women are sexy and they still dress in a very sexy way, if you ask me, I don't see anything wrong with the way their women dress it is called freedom


Prostitution is legal in Brazil and looking at women is also free unlike some country where you can get Harassed for looking at women As we say in my country if konji hold you which simply means if you are horny please patronize a program girl, it is legal in Brazil and no policeman would arrest you


So when you come To Brazil you have to adjust to the Brazilian way of life, women are free in brazil and this is why I love brazil.

What I learnt After visiting the Brazilian presidential Palace

By Lucio at August 22, 2021    No comments

If you read my previous write-up, I talked about visiting the Brazilian presidential Palace and it was an awesome experience for me and one thing I noticed is the freedom. We have a bus stop near the presidential Palace as you can see in the picture below, I don't think this can happen in my country, the presidential Palace in my country is a no-go zone.


Photos:https://www.facebook.com/112258144381748/posts/153788043562091/



What are African leaders always scared of?


In Brazil, people go to the presidential Palace to take pictures and you won't find one military checkpoint or fierce-looking soldiers, why is Africa always different?


When I was making the video the military guy walked up to me  and politely and calmly told me to go to the part where i can take pictures from because I was making the video close to  the road, if it was in Africa a fierce-looking military man might even beat you


This are part of the reasons why I love Brazil because of the freedom we enjoy here

My visit to the Brazilian presidential Palace

By Lucio at August 22, 2021    No comments

It was an awesome experience for me to visit the Brazilian seat of power and here is more about the Brazilian presidential Palace


The Palácio do Planalto in Brasília is the official workplace of the president of Brazil. The building was designed by architect Oscar Niemeyer in 1958 and inaugurated on April 21, 1960. It has been the workplace of every Brazilian president since Juscelino Kubitschek. It is located at the Praça dos Três Poderes (Three Powers Plaza), to the east of the National Congress of Brazil and across from the Supreme Federal Court.

It is one of the official palaces of the Presidency, along with the Palácio da Alvorada, the official residence. Besides the President, other high ranking government officials also work from the Planalto, including the Vice President and the Chief of Staff; the other government ministry buildings are located on the Ministries Esplanade. As the seat of government, the term Planalto is often used as a metonym for the executive branch of the federal government. 

The building, constructed in the modernist style, is part of the Brasília World Heritage Site, designated by UNESCO in 1987

The National Congress of Brazil is Located In Brasilia

By Lucio at August 22, 2021    No comments

This iconic landmark building located in Brasilia is the senate building of Brazil and here is more about the building


Photos:https://www.facebook.com/112258144381748/posts/153794280228134/





Congresso Nacional do Brasil is the legislative body of Brazil's federal government. Unlike the state legislative assemblies and municipal chambers, the Congress is bicameral, composed of the Federal Senate (the upper house) and the Chamber of Deputies (the lower house). The Congress meets annually in Brasília from 2 February to 22 December, with a mid-term break taking place between 17 July and 1 August.




The Senate represents the 26 states and the Federal District. Each state and the Federal District has a representation of three Senators, who are elected by popular ballot for a term of eight years. Every four years, renewal of either one third or two-thirds of the Senate (and of the delegations of the States and the Federal District) takes place. The Chamber of Deputies represents the people of each state, and its members are elected for a four-year term by a system of proportional representation. Seats are allotted proportionally according to each state's population, with each state eligible for a minimum of 8 seats (least populous) and a maximum of 70 seats (most populous). Unlike the Senate, the whole of the Chamber of Deputies is renewed every four years.


Until recently it was common for politicians to switch parties and the proportion of congressional seats held by each party would often change. However, a decision of the Supreme Federal Court has ruled that the seats belong to the parties and not to the politicians; one can only change parties and retain his seat in a very limited set of cases. Consequently, politicians who abandon the party for which they were elected now face the loss of their congressional seat.[citation needed] Each house of the Brazilian Congress elects its president and the other members of its directing board from among its members.[citation needed] The President of the Senate is ex officio the President of the National Congress, and in that capacity summons and presides over joint sessions, as well as over the joint services of both houses. The President of the Chamber is second in the presidential line of succession while the President of the Senate (and of Congress) is third.

I Visited The Juscelino Kubitschek Bridge, Ponte JK ,Brasilia,Brazil

By Lucio at August 22, 2021    No comments


Juscelino Kubitschek Bridge (Portuguese: Ponte Juscelino Kubitschek), commonly called Ponte JK (English: JK Bridge)[citation needed], is a steel and concrete arch bridge across Lake Paranoá in Brasília, Brazil. It connects the eastern shore of the lake – where Lago Sul, Paranoá and Brasília International Airport are located – to Brasília's city center, via the Monumental Axis. Opened to traffic on December 15, 2002, its distinctive silhouette quickly became a Brasília landmark.


Photos:https://www.facebook.com/112258144381748/posts/153882160219346/



The bridge is named after President Juscelino Kubitschek, who served from 1956 to 1961, and is generally considered the main figure supporting the construction of the planned city of Brasília. It was designed by architect Alexandre Chan and structural engineer Mário Vila Verde.


Alexandre Chan received the Gustav Lindenthal Medal for the bridge's project at the 2003 International Bridge Conference in Pittsburgh. This medal is awarded "for a single, recent outstanding achievement showing harmony with the environment, aesthetic merit and successful community participation".


The bridge was also awarded the 2003 Premio Abcem (ABCEM Award) for "Best Steel Work of the Year, Bridges and Highway Overpasses Category", granted by the Brazilian Metal Construction Association (Associação Brasileira da Construção Metálica, ABCEM).

Lago Sul is an administrative region in the Federal District of Brazil. It is located on the south side of the eastern shore of Lake Paranoá, opposite Brasília. Presidente Juscelino Kubitschek International Airport is located in the southwesternmost edge of this region. A population of 29,537 people reside in this area.
