The Brazilian people are actually way more multi-ethnic. You have the Whites (Portuguese, Germans, Italians), the Arabs, the Japanese Brazilians (huge population), the Africans and the Native Brazilians.

... and you are right, those mixed with the Africans (Blacks) have badass physical shape grin .

Purvan:


Hehe

That happen when you race mix

Nigeria could've been like Brazil if dem British folks decided to bleep nigerian babes.

There seems to be a lot of ignorance here about Brazil. Brazil is not the US, but it's not remotely Nigeria either.

I'm a US citizen, and currently spending 6 weeks in Brazil. I also spent about a year in Brazil, in 2020, as the pandemic hit. At the time, overstaying was permitted, because of the pandemic.

The development level of major Brazilian cities aren't nearly in the same league as Nigeria or any African country, except South Africa. A simple Google image search of Brazilian cities should offer you an idea.

Of course, there are many crappy neighborhoods and favelas, with high poverty and crime. In the same way, I can show you a bunch of slummy neighborhoods in the US with high crime.
The Brazilian economy has had major growth over the last 20 years, even though it has slowed down slightly.

Also, Brazil has a very strong passport. It gives you visa-free access to nearly 170 countries. For comparison, Nigeria's passport gets you to about 55 (mostly African countries).

For anyone who hasn't been to Brazil for at least a few weeks, you probably have a warped view of what it is like. So instead of making assumptions, it's better to look up some vital stats and info.

Here are two pics I took in Brazil (just to add a little imagery to the thread).
The one from the mountain top was in Rio de Janeiro. The other was from my balcony, in Sao Paulo.

First, you can make your points without being rude and made calling. Second, Brazil is better than Nigeria but no country in the world worth risking your life to travel to. $$ does not grow on trees.
I never said traveling is bad, in fact, traveling is awesome but I will NEVER risk my life to travel abroad cos we only have one life.
Please be matured enough to state your points without insult and name calling. It makes the receiver understand and possibly engage you in conversation next time. Peace

That guy is a very uncouth frustrated human being. People like that are best ignored.

If only you can learn. The issue is unproductive population. You left out the word unproductive and chose to run with population. China population is productive and that is why you see them producing everything from Train, toothpick, underwear etc. What do you produce? The oil is too little when placed side by side with your population. Why is that simple fact too much for you to grasp? Your crazy, lazy little ass has a sense of entitlement that is not seen anywhere else in the world and that is exactly the reason why you are poor. Comprehend?

Please I want to ask. The oil Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar... etc has, is the same oil we have here in Nigeria?

Cos with the kind of oil and other mineral resources we have in this country, it's almost impossible to believe that Nigeria has one of the lowest GDP per capita in the world. It's citizens are languishing in abject poverty.

UAE: population is 10 million, they produce about 4 million barrels of petroleum and liquids per day.

Nigeria: Population is over 200million, but produces about 1.5 million barrels per day.

Lets say a barrel of oil is $80, The UAE makes $320,000,000 per day for 10million people.

Nigeria makes $120,000,000 per day for over 200million people.

With that massive population, Nigeria aint that rich after all.

Nigeria needs to diversify its economy.

The people in govt are a direct reflection of the population. It's like looking yourself in the mirror. Garbage in, garbage out. Like followers, like leaders.
NB. Academic excellence is not the only yardstick for measuring intelligence. Overseas, majority don't have more than high school diploma, yet they are more productive and prosperous.. Where it counts is the area of research and discoveries. With all that degree that you said Nigerians are acquiring overseas, how many of it has led to Nobel laureate, innovation and discoveries?
Have you heard of this passage before: " Ever learning but never coming to the knowledge of the truth"?

They are every where and too obvious begging to be explored. Am not focused on white collar jobs. Those ones are peanuts. Am talking about Brown collar jobs which pay is so limitless and very appreciative.

Pride is one major reason alot of Nigerians suffering and the lack of using their brain.

Who is talking about SMEs? Mind you that reason for their failure is simply because people think money is it takes. Lol grin

You think these ones up there are going to Brazil to work in a Bank as managers? They are going there to do very odd jobs such jobs they feel too ashamed to do in Nigeria. What a pity. UnfairLife7 cheesy

U dont understand the basics...
Dis got nothing to do with pride.. grin
The odd jobs overseas pay per hour..
.and there is a minimum wage... every employer must follow...grin

So which African country is better than Brazil is regards to living standards or healthcare or education. Healthcare in Brazil is free. Education in Brazil Is free with very high standards. The university of Sao Paulo is amongst the top 100 universities in the world. The university of cape town which is the best in Africa isn't amongst the top 100. So what in africa is better than in Brazil. Mention it. I am waiting.


I see how you dogded high crime Rate , I like that.

The only thing I would agree with is their free educational system.

Everyone knows Ranking shit is false and biased , with money and right connection you would rank high.

On health care , its on par with many African countries, like Ghana, Tunisia,Algeria.

So making brazil out as some sort of heaven is a weird.
