[@EdCheps]

​@dandon1105he is visiting countries with Africans not the continent of Africa only

[@RM360CR]

Tomatoes, potatoes sweet one too, casava vanilla chocolate strawberries squash pumpkin zuccini peanuts pineapple beans sweet and hot peppers maiz have been used in america for thousands of years it only arrived in africa with the portuguese a few centuries ago so is this really your food because i see what we cook here.... can you cook something old before the 15th century with out our ingredients....

[@Bestborn]

The owner of the restaurant is so full of positive energy that she is perfect for such business, and her energy is contagious. This was so amazing to watch. Thanks Maya, you are awesome

[@billtev9846]

Every time the owner of the restaurant laughed or smiled it brought tears to my eyes, she needed to go international and open restaurants all over the world. What a wonderful human being.

She's not African, she's Brazilian and is obviously mixed.

[@freedom3390]

I love the energy of everyone but I'm sending extra love to the restaurant owner for giving you access to her space and how she enjoyed your food.

[@hikidunm1582]

I had given up watching travel vlogs cos the genre in my opinion had lost purpose & become stale. You Wode showed us the soul of the Afro Brazilians - we felt their pride in Africa. Soldier, you've lifted a lot of spirits. Thank you!!!!

[@olotusammy2654]

The owner of the restaurant such a wonderful soul.

[@almanbanks5804]

Bro the continent is proud of you for the good job you are doing

[@mariamasipa4197]

Great Wode Maya's showing them his skills in the kitchen 👏 👌

[@peterirungu2688]

[@aniasacrario9993]

The warmth of the people with the love of Africa. Outstanding presentation.

[@ghettodread01]

Wode Maya you are legend bro. My great great grandfather was a one of those who returned from Salvador to lagos, Nigeria after uprising in the 1800's. Our family name is actually Salvador and our family home is called Salvador house. Your escapades have filled me such joy, that me and a few of my cousins living in the diaspora are planning a holiday/research to Bahia Salvador, to learn more about his time in Salvador. Keep up the energy and great work @wode Maya 🐐

[@offeiedwardsnanakwasi]

Wode Maya ... ❤❤❤ my brother 🎉

[@cocoanil3174]

Watching From Ghana 🇬🇭

[@ackahkofiefrancis4289]

Great one, lesson learn from this, we as Ghanaians must emulate the aspect of weighing by pricing, instead of visual and quantities. Example the Yam was weighed and price it by the number of kilo , like 1kilo x 2cedis .😮

[@antoniodejesus6716]

Please, search for TABON PEOPLE, IN (Acra) they have are brazilians descendents here in salvador citi, Brazil. reconnect with brazil.
