Must Read: Why Travel Consultants Must Use A Visa Agreement

I have seen and settled many disagreements between clients and travel agents and trust me; it is not nice at all. While trying to settle the issue, you would be dragged into a conflict that you know nothing about.


There has been this distrust between agents and clients, and both the client and the agent would take the blame for this one.


Yes, we have heartless agents and we also have heartless clients.


I am a travel consultant with a heart and I do my best to be professional. I am not perfect.


This is why I have other things that bring me income. I own a small-scale business in Brazil; I am a writer; I have written 2 books; I get change from amazon; I have a blog, and a YouTube channel, and I also sell pictures, I am also into Dropshipping and lastly an affiliate marketer so my own style of travel agency is not full time, my book would tell you how to apply for a Brazilian visa yourself.


This is why I can confidently reject any job if the client does not meet my requirements.


With all the disagreements that I have seen and settled for people I have come to the conclusion that using a visa agreement is very, very, very, and very important, do not miss it for anything in the world even if the person is your friend or family member, you have to be professional.


I have decided that I won't do anything without an agreement and I suggest you do the same as an agent and this would save you some headaches in the future.


I would give you the agreement, you read it for 2days and return it with your signature and it means you agree with the terms so you won't tell the judge you signed under duress.


This agreement would save you from any embarrassment and quarrels to protect your name and your brand.


I am building my brand with my blood, sweat, and tears and I will protect it with my life, no agreement no visa period process, kindly go elsewhere and if after reading this and you still go ahead and do your job without an agreement then it is your fault.


Clients as well do not give an agent a job without an agreement.

There is nothing like pan Africanism

Don't allow anyone to deceive you there is nothing like pan-Africanism because Africans are too tribal and they are not built to love each other.


The South African man hates the man from Zimbabwe.


The Ghanaian hates the man from Nigeria.


And so on.


A white man can travel around the whole of Africa without a visa but an African can't travel around Africa without a visa.


We hate each other so much and we use the nonsense pan-Africanism to deceive ourselves.


Africans are not free in Africa and in fact, an African can get real freedom in Europe, South America, or North America.


Just look at what is happening in South Africa, they are killing their fellow Africans, their excuse is drug and crime but guess what go to South African prisons you would discover that 90% of the people there would be South Africans themselves, so who's committing those crimes?


Like I said pay me $ 1 billion I can never live in South Africa, how do the foreign kids there survive? I can't put my kid through that trauma.


We have been whitewashed as Africans this is why the white man can freely enter Africa and test their virus.


I visited an African country and I was made to wait but the white men in front of me entered without any checks.


So until we have a real and true African union because the current one is dead then there is nothing like pan Africanism, it is dead.

44 killed in Brazil as floods and landslides sweep through Rio de Janeiro

Desperate hunt for survivors after ten inches of rain fell in three hours


The Brazilian city of Petropolis was struck by a deluge and there are fears the number of dead could rise


The state fire department said the area saw just over 10 inches of rainfall within three hours on Tuesday


Videos showed cars and houses being dragged away by landslides and water swirling through Petropolis


Governor Claudio Castro said all the state government's heavy machinery was being used to find survivors 



At least 44 people have been killed in Brazil as devastating mudslides and floods swept through a mountainous region of Rio de Janeiro state, local authorities confirmed. 


The city of Petropolis was struck by a deluge on Tuesday, and Mayor Rubens Bomtempo said the number of dead could rise as rescuers picked through the wreckage.



A total of 21 people have been recovered alive as civilians joined the official recovery efforts early Wednesday. 


Among them were Priscila Neves and her siblings, who looked through the mud for any sign of their disappeared parents, but found only clothing. Neves said she had given up hope of finding her parents alive.


The state fire department said late Tuesday the area saw 25.8cm (just over 10in) of rainfall within three hours on Tuesday - almost as much as during the previous 30 days combined. 


Governor Claudio Castro said the situation was 'almost like war' and that all the state government's heavy machinery was being called in to help dig out the buried area in a desperate hunt for survivors.


He told journalists that soldiers were already working in the stricken region, which saw more than 900 deaths from heavy rainfall in January 2011.  


Video posted on social media showed cars and houses being dragged away by landslides, and water swirling through Petropolis and neighboring districts.


Rosilene Virgilio, 49, was in tears as she recalled the pleas for help from a woman she could not save.


'Yesterday there was a woman screaming, "Help! Get me out of here!" But we couldn't do anything; the water was gushing out, the mud was gushing out,' Virgilio told The Associated Press.

In Brazil, We don't celebrate valentines day on Feb 14, Heres Why

In Brazil, things are done differently and they do things with real feelings attached, football, music, love/relationship, it is all the same for Brazilians and this is why valentines day is very different in Brazil. read more below


Brazilians celebrate Dia dos Namorados, which translates to Sweetheart’s Day or Lover’s Day in Portuguese. To say “Happy Valentine’s Day” in Brazilian Portuguese, simply offer a warm “Feliz Dia dos Namorados.”

Brazilian Valentine’s Day does include romantic gifts, cards, and treats, but there are differences. For one thing, it falls on June 12th.

Wondering how Valentine’s Day is celebrated in Brazil? 




St. Anthony’s Day Eve

Valentine’s Day in Brazil falls on June 12th for a reason. On June 13th, Brazilians celebrate Saint Anthony’s Day. This feast day is for St. Anthony of Padua, who hailed from Portugal in the 13th century and is best known as the patron saint of recovering lost items.

In Brazil, St. Anthony is also a marriage saint, known for blessing young couples and being a matchmaker of sorts.

Another reason that Dia dos Namorados isn’t celebrated on February 14th in Brazil? Well, the traditional date for celebrating Saint Valentine also commonly falls during Carnaval, one of the biggest events of the year in Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, and elsewhere in the country




Simpatias: Unique to Brazilian Valentine’s Day

Simpatias are all about seeking help from Saint Anthony.

On Dia dos Namorados, single women may seek the guidance of St. Anthony so that they can find a suitable husband. One such custom involves dipping an image of St. Anthony in water until the right partner walks into the woman’s life to propose.

Other examples of Brazilian simpatias include:

  • Placing a rose in a glass of water with a pinch of salt, and bathing in the water two days later.
  • Putting a love letter in a pot of basil, and then giving it to someone you like.


Treats for Dia dos Namorados

Valentine’s Day traditions usually involve sweets, and this is no different in Brazil.

Beijnhos mean “little kisses” in Portuguese. These coconut treats are “kissed” with clove.

The other love-themed sweet is a Bem Casado. These sandwich cookies are served at weddings and on Dia dos Namorados. After all, their name literally means “happily married.”

Valentine’s Day Greetings in Brazil

Besides “Feliz Dia dos Namorados,” try any of these loving phrases on June 12th. They’re also great for WhatsApp or long-distance chats if you find yourself far from your loved ones.

Eu te amo:I love you

Você é o amor da minha vida:You’re the love of my life

Você é a metade da minha laranja:You are my better half

Eu sou mais feliz com você, meu amor: I’m happier with you, my love

    My Advice for youngsters After secondary school go and learn a skill

    My advice for youngsters out there is first you must understand the current situation of the country that you are in now so you must do all your best to remove some pressure from your parents, I feel they have done their best if they put you through primary and secondary school, the rest is up to you if you come from a rich family no problem but again even if you come from a rich family this advice is also for you because anything can happen tomorrow. 


    IMMEDIATELY you finish from secondary school go and learn something so that if you eventually get into the university or polytechnic you can make money with your handwork/skill. 


    I suggest you learn how to fix phones and laptops because this is what people use now


    So instead of sitting idle without doing anything, you know the adage already, idle mind? Learn something because it would help you in future 


    I never dreamt of having a skill before but now I have one even though I live in Brazil, I still had to adapt and I am getting some little change with that skill, so help yourself and learn something now

    you can turn your talent into money abroad

    I was going to get something at the store and I saw this woman in the picture making this stuff herself and I was impressed and I asked her if I could take a photo and she said yes


    So when you travel If you have a talent don't keep it or don't let it die, you can make money with it


    This is why in some countries like the USA for example(NY) you see people that can play the guitar making money on the street and they make money daily and we have them in Brazil as well, I know of a man that plays saxophone, I think when I go to the city I would take a pic that would be for another topic


    So the point is that you can turn your talent into money abroad

    The same people that brought us Christianity also brought slave chains

    Like you all know I am an African first and a Christian but I have an open mind, I can walk into any church and pray and I am not brainwashed and I don't carry religion on my head and nobody can control my mind, I still hear sermons from my JW friends here in Brazil, wonderful and fantastic people



    I remember back then in Nigeria, some Catholic guys walked up to me to preach because I was standing near their church and they asked me the church that I attend and I told them and they wanted to walk away and I called them back and collected the rosary that they wanted to give me and I told them that we serve one God, they were shocked, so I am not falling for that division



    This is why I say I believe in the supreme being, any name you want to call the supreme being, lol



    It does not matter if you are Catholic or Mormon



    So my question is the white men that brought us religion why did they not read the bible??


    Why did they not behave like Jesus in the bible?


    They brought us Christianity which I am in support of because it really helped soften our minds, but pastors today turned it into a business empire, but the white men still use their other hand to loot us dry, kill us, and put us in chains and drag us to Europe, in fact, the white men committed a lot of atrocities in Nigeria


    We can forgive because Christianity talks about forgiveness and I love it but we can't forget because it is called history
