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]

[@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 🐐

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 .😮

[@stephenreggio42]

I’m a Ghanaian and have Afro Brazilan , the first time I met my friend I started talking to him in twi language and he told me he don’t understand in Italian, I was shocked because he look like a Ghanaian and it’s turned out he is from state of Bahia . I can’t wait to go there with him 🥰

[@The_Cruise_Fam]

These people are more welcoming than people you share continent with.

They can tell that we are Africans. Including south Africans

[@user-vw6bk4pb4l]

@@africaine4889 I am African and i have been all over Brazil. They usually assumed that i was Brazilian depending on how i dressed, until i spoke. Some people thought i was pretending when i couldn't speak Portuguese. I think they are more likely to tell based on your dressing than how you look.

[@dommy_carlos]

​@@user-vw6bk4pb4lthey tell based on looks africans and Brazilian look different.

[@user-vw6bk4pb4l]

​@@dommy_carlosBrazil has many races, most Brazilians are mixed race, but there are some Brazilians who look identical to Africans, Europeans or even Japanese. Because Brazil is multi ethnic and multiracial. Africans are diverse too, we dont all look the same, and some Africans stand out more, others blend in. Its completely nonsensical to say 'Africans and Brazilians look different.' Some do, others don't. And i am also speaking from personal experience, people in Brazil thought i was Brazilian.
