Hi you can ask a lawyer in Nigeria to do you an affidavit that he would take to the brazillian high commission in Nigeria for notorization and authentication before he sends it to you, I hope this helps cheers!

No it can't be scanned. The law requires it to be the ORIGINAL document, with a raised seal. It must also be notarized and authenticated by the High Commission in Nigeria before being sent to you here.

Unfortunately it sounds like you need to go back to Nigeria yourself, or have someone get your birth certificate legalized in Nigeria and mail it to you.

It's a pain, but there's no easy way around it.
