Check out how the foreign exchange market works in Brazil

The foreign exchange market is regulated in Brazil and the system is decentralized unlike what you have in some countries where you have the black market controlling the economy of the country and in most cases bringing the country down.

In Brazil, the rate you see online is the same thing you would get when you go to the fx office to change or buy dollars or any other foreign currency you want. They would take their own tax and that's it, different from what you have in Nigeria where it is so difficult to buy foreign currencies and then you have no choice but to buy from the black market, pure madness, a country must not be allowed to function that way.

Meet The First And Only Black President Of Brazil

Nilo Procópio Peçanha -2 October 1867 – 31 March 1924 was a Brazilian politician who served as the seventh president of Brazil. He was Governor of Rio de Janeiro State (1903–1906), then elected the fifth vice president of Brazil in 1906. He assumed the presidency in 1909 following the death of President Afonso Pena and served until 1910

Despite controversies involving his racial identity, Nilo is frequently considered as Brazil's first and only black president

He was frequently described as being a mulatto and often ridiculed in the press for his skin color. During his youth, the local Campos dos Goytacazes social elite alluded to him as the "mestiço do Morro do Coco" (the half-breed from Morro do Coco district). In 1921, when he ran for the Presidency of the Republic, letters falsely attributed to the other candidate Artur Bernardes were published by the press and caused a political crisis because they insulted both the former president Marshal Hermes da Fonseca and also Peçanha, another former president, claiming he was a mulatto. Gilberto Freyre mentioned his "mulatismo" in Brazilian politics as the same that prevailed in Brazilian soccer. According to some scholars, his presidential photographs were touched up to whiten his dark skin.

Some scholars assert that, despite his tez escura (dark skin color), Nilo Peçanha always hid his black origins, and to this day his descendants and family have denied that he was a mulatto. The official biography written by a relative Celso Peçanha does not mention his racial origins, but another later biography does so, thus some scholars express doubts. In any case, his origins were very humble: he used to claim that he had been raised on day-old bread and paçoca (a candy made with peanuts, cassava flour and sugar).

After finishing his primary studies in his home city, Peçanha went on to study at the Law Schools of São Paulo and Recife, where he earned his degree. As a student, he supported both the campaign to abolish slavery and the establishment of the Republic.

On November 14, 2021, Leonardo Péricles had his nomination confirmed as a pre-candidate in the 2022 Brazilian presidential election. At the same event, he was also elected as national president of the party.
