Hahaha @techspot lemme tell you a story when I was still in secondary school then whenever I like a girl and I want to chase her I go around and discourage all my friends (competitions) and say all nasty things about the girl after that is done everyone looks away from there it's smooth sailing all the way.. grin hope you get the point?
How can one be in the UK with claim of having a UK passport and will do all things possible to discredit those struggling with Brazil PR?

This one pass spiritual level. One poster called them assistant Trump and Boris and she's so correct

Do not believe on this forum.
The Brazilian passport does not guarantee a free visa to Europe, in fact only rich Brazilians are able to enter Europe, most Brazilians are barred and do not enter Europe, just read the news. They don't have a better passport than ours.

They have a murder rate comparable to countries at war, worst than Syria.
Besides, there is a huge prejudice against Africans, yes, Brazil is a terrible country.
I advise my Nigerian brothers to not go. Any other country in South America is better.
Brazil is a miserable country with no future.
Do not risk your lives, there are malicious people On this forum.
The coronavirus is out of control, and BRAZIL must go into recession, stay at home, for the safe of your families, let's look for better passports if that is the intention.
This forum lies, no Nigerian will get a job in that country, and the passport will be totally irrelevant.
This is actually funny, you're probably a comedian trying his latest joke.

That said, reply to the bolded is in the screenshot and this link: https://www.etiasvisa.com/etias-requirements/brazilians

- The only reason we see lots of the crimes committed in Brazil online is because they are recorded. When Nigerians start installing security cameras on all neighborhoods then we will realize the amount of crimes happening in present day Nigeria is beyond the little that gets out in the news. You know there's still Boko Haram in the North, Oko oloyun, The Generator Billionaire and the White House, Sabo owner were killed within a week and this are privilege Nigerians. Do you remeber Maersk Boss own? Nigeria isn't safer either.


"Besides, there is a huge prejudice against Africans, yes, Brazil is a terrible country. " - Atleast there are no Xenophobic claims ongoing yet. Don't mix Brazil to be Europe. Brazilians are majorly Black and Brown people. They are the 2nd country with most black people. Name the most popular Brazilians and tell me their skin color? I don't know how I can feel out of place with people that don't look much different in color.

"I advise my Nigerian brothers to not go. Any other country in South America is better.

This also is the same for Nigeria so would you ask Nigerians to leave Nigeria because of this sad reality? As for Nigerians working in Brazil, you know your answer is already on this thread so I expect those that take their time to read to know better.

The malicious one is you and your bro. Your account is new and your only posts are on this thread and they are all negative and unproven.

In visa application form there is a space provided to give full details of your purpose of the trip and it is regarded as mandatory, so if you are going to give birth and its not illegal why not declare it in that space provided?
Someone asked you on this thread if you didn't misrepresent in your visa application but you know how you ignore all his questions.


Did you say you will stay back and convert your study visa to a British passport?

There's no agent claims here and we are not defending the process cos we are scouting for clients. We are only sharing our experience so he should stop hiding post immaturely.

whatever Adjo10 wrote is the present situation in Brazil as I read through her post before I went to apply and here I am in Brazil and all the info shared here are still applicable so there's no misinformation on this thread.

Someone can not be in the UK and claim to know more about the current situation in Brazil than couple of people presently in Brazil experiencing it.

Okay it's settled then. VO may not have issues with birth escapees provided they have the money to take care of it.
Yes they don't.

My partner was already 23 weeks when we applied, we had our interview at 28weeks, when I went to pick our visas I was told that they are aware that she is pregnant and I said yes she is. Being pregnant does not mean you can not travel. You can travel anywhere in the world till you're unfit to fly


We entered Brazil at 33weeks and we were clearly stamped in for 90days; No questioned asked.


Brazil does not have any problem with you coming to give birth as long as you have enough resources for it.


Anyone crying unnecessarily on this thread on behalf of another is clearly over-hydrated.

You really have a big problem understanding things before you post, this is not about what it costed me to become a citizen, I never said that.
I was talking about the cost of giving birth in both countries and process of getting citizenship. How hard it's to understand this?
You are the one who clearly have understanding problem.


You continiously brag on this thread about having a UK passport which is superior to a Brazil passport and I am making you realise that most of us that went the Brazil route can also have the same UK passport that you have if we follow the process you followed some years ago today and it will cost us less money to acquire that UK passport that you keep bragging about.

You and the guy who claim to report to the Brazilian Authorities need to understand that giving birth in Brazil is not free and definitely not cheap. The money I have spent since I got here will get me and my partner through the process you followed to get your British passport.

Hey guys I already sent this page to the Brazilian Federal police, and hope that they will make more strong rules to stop this pregnancy tourism, you guys only think about passport, and not even worry about their culture, totally without respect.
I feel sad that my brothers need to make a illegal invasion to another country using their babies just because of one shit passport.
If you're grown enough to know better then you should be bold enough to speak.

You shouldn't come completely anonymous and interfere, neither should you conclude a matter beyond your exposure.

I bet you assume it is free to get to Brazil to give birth or you think they just hand you the passport freely because you gave birth? It is better you seek knowledge before speaking than making an ignorant statement thus exposing where your life status.

let me give you a little estimate of the cost of giving birth in Brazil:

It is multiple times greater than the total amount it will cost Justwise to get his British passport he keeps praising on this thread if he follows the same route he followed some years ago after covid-19.

Thus, you reporting to the PF or PM or GCM will change nothing. Once the Brazil embassy sees that you're financially good to go for the process, they will grant you your visa.

So, You just wasted the hate that could have motivated you to get better.




PS: Brazil passport ain't a shit Visa neither will I call the Nigerian Passport that but if we need to compare between the two then you don't need my answer cos you already know which is.

The main countries are listed under UK... Australia, Japan, US, Canada, Taiwan and others
But Brazil... Mongolia, Iran and Russia... The bad bad ones...
If you consider the path and duration it took to get the passport you would be just fine with the Brazil passport.

LASUnarian:
I've been reading your comments on Nairaland for a while now. I must say, the breadth of your knowledge is vast and impressive. And your opinions always come off as deeply researched and wellbreasoned, even though I may not agree with all of them.

If I may ask, how do know so much? Do you have a study routine? If so, how do you sustain it? How do you procure reading materials? Was this a habit acquired in your childhood or was it much later in life that you decided to devote yourself to learning? What party tricks and techniques are applied to enable comprehension, critical analysis, and long-term retention (because the organic nature of much of your commentary suggests to me that you have incredible powers of recall as opposed to you "Googling" facts to appear knowledgeable).

I would really appreciate a thorough response, if you don't mind. Thanks.

Kindly reply this... I am also interested in the reply so mention me when you do.

Ok... I just want to school the wise. grin

Excellent take down. The problem is Justwise hasnt lived anywhere else apart from the UK&Nigeria and that colours his view. Imagine saying Brazil is an advanced Nigeria, Brazil that is even far ahead of india and Nigeria isnt anywhere on India's level. We are so far far behind. Even UK sef is overrated, with this new Brexit situation, anyone thinking of work access to all of Europe including the UK itself should consider Republic of Ireland.
He even called Brazil a 3rd world country...lol


Brazil is among the BRICS and they are the emerging countries forming a new world order.

Almost everything here is made in Brazil. I don't think the tissue scarcity that hit America can happen to Brazil cos they don't import tissue like the US.

I agree with you to the point of UK after brexit. I even added it to what I wrote but later removed it.

There are several retired Americans and British citizens running the Brazil retiree visa plan so to come flex their life in Brazil. If it is so so insecure than their developed promiselands then why will an old 'vulnerable' American or British retire to Brazil?

The UK is past glory, their system and structures are so old school. Even their crowned Prince is fed up of the country and choose to run to Canada.

Search for accommodation on UK Airbnb and u go surprise that they still use steel and spring bed frames that we last used in my parents house when I was 10yrs old.... They will argue that it is imperial design but they world has grown and left the UK behind. They rely on Commonwealth nations, no one trades with the Pounds daily and it's fast becoming another Kuwait dinar.

Thank you sir
Pls sir I just registered my business 3months back using those documents for visa application will it fly?
It depends on the time you want to apply for the Visa. If you submit a newly registered business for a visa application an ECO might conclude you did it cos of the application why another ECO might ignore so these things depends on who is on your case and the state of mind of that person when reviewing it.

Almost everyone here advice you to pay yourself and I echo them as well; "Pay yourself".

If you read through travel threads you will get your direction from them. Just make sure you get all the information you need by reading lots of travel topics especially now that the embassies are closed so you will be ready for them when they start work.

Any Nigerian saying he prefers Brazilain passport to UK, US or other developed countries is just lying to him/herself, i wouldn't knock anybody out for wanting to live in Brazil but to start comparing Brazil to other developed countries is just insane, Brazil is a 3rd world country still transitioning from 'developing' to 'developed' status.

Whoever wants to travel to Brazil should do that because its easier to get PR then passport but not because Brazil is one of the best countries out there.
Brazil is just an advanced Nigeria
How do one still compare Brazil with Nigeria? been a mod doesn't mean you have to put mouth in all things travel especially the one you have no knowledge of.

Nigeria legbe Brazil... How na!, Nigeria does not even compare to South Africa and I dare any one to give a detailed comparison between SA and BR and we will see how far Brazil is ahead of South Africa.

Recent rainfall turned Surulere, Lagos (Nigeria's modern city) to a dumpsite, that won't happen in Brazil because the waste management packs waste daily on streets. No flooding due to blocked drains and gutter, sidewalk on all streets unlike Nigeria that you will be struggling for right of way with keke, okada and vehicles.

Most of my purchases here are made in Brazil and the quality is good whereas almost everything consumed in present day Nigeria is imported.

Brazil has several Metro lines to all cities and towns in Sao Paulo and you pay R$4.4 (#400) to use it to wherever you are going. In Lagos, Nigeria, the one Fashola started is still pending and we don't know when it will be completed. The air-conditioned locomotive train they did, the price is like #800 and we don't even know if it is still in use.

How many Nigerians can boast about the Public health system? I know we have the Health Centres but how many are properly maintained. In Brazil, the Public Health Centres are well equipped to give diagnosis, consultations, tests, prescribe drugs, vaccinate, dispense drugs and more and you wont be charged neither do you need to be referred by one of their seniors to get a preferential treatment or so that you will be attended to on time. Nigeria is still calling on WHO and Aids relief organisation to end Malaria. "borrow-borrow" government. Brazil government discount drugs for Hypertension, Diabetes and Asthma.

During this Covid-19, the government set up an emergency relief for every low income earners or anyone whose source of income is affected by Covid and they pay monthly since April. R$600 to single applicant or R$1,200 to Family. Nigerian government said anyone with 5k naira in their account do not need aid. R$600 is about 50k naira.


Public transit bus arrive at scheduled time, you can use the public bus everywhere and it will only cost you R$4.4 and the way that works is fantastic. with the R$4.4 I can enter a bus, stop at a market before my bus stop to get stuffs enter another bus on the same line to get home and I won't be charged on the second bus. Let's see if the local BRT bus system permits transfer of fare.


One of the things I was always pissed about in Nigeria is that there are no 'open to Public' Parks and Garden or Leisure centres where athletes alike can freely practise or where families can have a fun time. Come to Brazil, you will be spoilt for choice. When I was staying in Cambuci, SP I tire for Parks (Parque}. There's even one with swimming pool just in front of the Dia Supermarket I buy groceries.


I have spent close to 4 months in Brazil and I have never slept without light, 24 hours light in all 3 places I have stayed.

Brazil passport gives you visa free travels to many countries and we both know Nigerian passport does not give you visa free travels to some countries in Africa that the Brazil passport will take you to.


Brazilians are free people and they are thus welcoming so they have less worry and little expectations so it won't be a surprise if you see them settling for less. They aren't like us that are under pressure to impress/oppress everyone around us so I understand if you see Brazilians around you "somehow". It's not difficult to see 3 generations of a Brazilian living in the same house. They really don't care.


The best way to understand the Brazilian culture is to look through their architecture. It isn't far-fetched to see lots of joint structures in all parts of Brazil

Guys I think I’ll drop the hat here. The information I’ve shared will remain here and you can see them any time you want. I hope I have been helpful in some way.

I know how vile the internet can be and I try to stay away from negative energy and protect my peace at all cost. I refuse to let the internet be the reason I’m having a bad day in real life. I’d rather focus my energy on something else.

I hope other people can continue from where I stopped and this knowledge we have all gained, will not be in vain. Thank you for participating, thank you for reading, thank you for showing love. Never stop learning, never stop believing and always know that you are enough. If everyone else fails, you can succeed.

To the bullies and attackers, you have not won. The knowledge here is beyond your control. You cannot suppress it and you cannot discredit it. Those who find it relevant will learn from it and dreams will be achieved. Whether you like it or not.

Thank you all,

Hello Daniel,

I have liked almost all your post, I have also shared with my 19 year old nephew and my friend's 22 years old cousin, that's how much value I put in what you post here daily. SInce i have been reading through personal experience threads on NL I can say you're one of a few OPs that post more than once a day, some will even ask for a certain amount of likes for them to carry on which you never did.

Your joy is to make what was hard for you to accomplish easy for the next person that will try and from all that I have read on this thread you are right on track so don't get distracted. Stay on purpose and you will realise the impact you made sooner when you start receiving testimonies.

Also, note that some of those discrediting you are Travel agents that don't want you to leak the secret they've been using to 'chop' freely so that they don't run out of clients. If you give-in to their plan then you've failed on your purpose so please do not stop.

If you expect everyone to swallow all you write without questioning some of it or sharing their own experience then now you know better. Like we say in Yoruba; 'Ona kan o wo oja' which simply means there are many access to a market so no matter how 'usual' your experience is some would have it otherwise while some will have an 'unusual' experience so their experience will be completely different with what you know/experienced.

Let them also contribute their experience and let the readers try out anyone that will work for them. It is always good to have alternatives.

Lastly, It is so hard to see a young man grow up so fast like you did especially with all the social media distraction that is up today so I will say to you sir; "You're doing well" Ooin!

Never settle, Don't stop.



* I look forward to reading your next post about "Types of blacks in Germany". Thanks

I put it up to you since you care to express/prove what you know which differs from the OPs' knowledge and experience, now is time for you to take over from where the OP stopped or else maintain your lane cos I don't see you posting different information on a particular country migration process at a minimum of 4 post per day like this OP does.

FamilyRe: Wife Trying To Ruin My Career Within A Few Months Of Arriving Abroad by TechSpot:
The issue with some men is that they rush into marriage due to societal pressure, they get to marry a stranger cos time is not on their side or cos their parents kept comparing them to their peers or cos they don't want to fornicate and have to get married to 'hit it'.

How will you not be able to please someone that you got married to, made children with and went further to actualizing her "porting from Naija" dream by relocating her to the dream country of most Nigerians, Canada... How!?

If you will look inward you will find the solution to your problem. Stop feeling depressed, stop competing with an angry woman instead make her happy. Little things go along way in pleasing a woman except the woman has finally ran mad that's when she wont appreciate those little gestures like a warm massage, a wink, a forehead kiss, a leg rub, sweet names calling, occasional gifts, surprise dates, helping with meals, taking care of the children and more and more compliments; These are some of the few things those "whatsapp boys" does better to get their attention... If you want to have peace you need to learn some of it too... Stop taking everything your woman does to you so personal, try and develop some humor and be a bit flexible.

Women after giving birth usually feel they are less wanted by their man/husband cos he has seen them before the changes to their body occur so they start to resent the man and sometimes they want to do likewise to the baby that has brought changes to their body that now affects their once high physical beauty and high self esteem... You owe such woman alot of commitment and constant reminder that despite all the changes childbirth caused her body she hasn't lost her beauty or that you still value her same way you did pre-childbirth.


Learn to live in love with your woman and she will replicate the love and if it has gone beyond salvageable then you need to leave for a while, give her all enough time and space to experience differently from what she is used to then she can compare, contrast then decide.


Time heals everything.
