Rio de Janerio

Recently got back from a short stint in Brazil with of my Ariztos partners. Rio is too beautiful to describe, lovely peoples, and great beaches. The awesome view of the cities from Corcovado mountain in the Tijuca Forest National Park is amazing.

It made me wonder why folks would classify Brazil and Nigeria in the same category of "developing countries". We've all heard of the slums and ghettos in Rio, but every big city has one. Bottom line, Nigeria has a long way to go to get to the level of "civilization" and standard of living as the currently have in Brazil. Looking forward to visiting Brazil again in the future!

In naija we trust...
