While in Brazil, I once stayed in a Favela, that is what they call their ghetto there.

Favela is actually the name of a tree that grows on the hill where they built houses, and over time they started called houses built on a hill in similar fashion a Favela.

One day I decided to film my journey while I walked through the favela I was staying. It was a mistake and I will never do it again.

In the favelas, there are always drug dealers, and if they think you are an undercover cop, they can easily take action and get rid of you. So walk around with a camera was a dumb move on my part.

Someone approached me about it, he was not happy, and he explained to me and everything was cool after. I stopped recording right away.

Which neighborhood in which country did you go?
go back and collect those girls numbers for me pls

my cousin was almost shot dead in Soweto, he went there for outreach so hoodlums accosted him to remove his chain and wristwatch as he was pretending to handover the items to them he zoomed off the chased after his car shot his car thank God he was able to escape, God saved him that day

So he risked his life because of ordinary wrist watch and gold chain that can be replaced? undecided

I'm very sure the wrist watch was not a Rolex or Audemars Piguet so what was the point in taking such a risk?

A country I will love to visit during wifey pregnant time.

She will deliver in this country,if I am yet to be in Malta by then.

So help me God.
Ugh...I love Malta so dearly, even though I've never been there in person. However, my late father has. Diplomat life, I guess that was why...

Anyways, I do love Malta. Its people are quite friendly, low-crime rate against foreigners and locals. Especially whenever I watch the MTV Isle of Malta festival show. The young women are beautiful and seem down-to-earth. You know there are black and white locals of the nation. So as a Nigerian, you could blend in seamlessly.

Lol, some years ago when I was still interested in the concept of marriage, I used to tell (more like deceive myself) myself that I would get married to a Maltan (i don't know if this word exists in the context I'm using it in o) lady and move to the US to live with her. grin

Dreams, sha 😅 . But that was then.
Now, I'm not interested in all of that.

Thumbs up to Malta still. 👍

I heard there are Yoruba Brazilians.

Those who were taken as slaves by the Portuguese slavers but retained speaking the Yoruba language.
Yes, but the yoruba they speak is not typical just similar, there are other african tribes who were take to Brazil by the Portuguese as slaves.

Well,as for those of us wey dem born and brought up for Ughelli and warri,we don already dey used to the everyday ghetto lifestyle......... Everyday na ruggedity pro max....... That's one reason why the street credibility wey I gain from my ghetto street really helped me to escape so many attacks way back in school......
