Nigerians were hailed as being the happiest souls in the world not very long ago, but according to new research, Denmark is the new No. 1 in happiness, while Nigeria, not surprisingly is now ranked 101st

May God continue to punish the leaders who contribute to the sadness of Nigerians, regardless of the states of origin of the said leaders.

Let me add that we were number 4 in Africa behind Libya 82nd, Tunisia 88th, and South Africa 91st. Egypt is ranked 102nd, and Ghana ranked 109th - we are happier than them. It is noteworthy that Ghanians are not as happy as the people of Bangladesh who were ranked 105th and the poorest in the world. No wonder, ghanaians get bad belle.

Were we really happy before? its like they are just getting the data and analysis correct!

This is wonderful news. My people have stopped lying about their true feelings ?

Or maybe the researchers modified their questions

Anyway, I must celebrate.









Above all, don’t lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to such a pass that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love, and in order to occupy and distract himself without love he gives way to passions and coarse pleasures, and sinks to bestiality in his vices, all from continual lying to other men and to himself. - Dostoevsky "The Brothers Karamazov"

It is that fisherman's fault. Lol

Drop 100 spots in one year w/o massive civil war or an economic depression?

Sounds like bad statistical analysis.

ekt_bear: Drop 100 spots in one year w/o massive civil war or an economic depression?

Don't forget Boko haram too.

The economy is growing but with negligible increase in standard of living, this alone can cause people not to smile anymore.

People have been complaining of jobless growth for many years now. It isn't anything new.

BH alone is enough to drop 100 spots?

Pardon my skepticism..

Looks like finally Abami Eda's ever green song is leaving the mouth and mind of Nigerians...suffering and smiling. How will the combo problem of poverty induced by fuel subsidy removal and BH not remove smiles and happiness from people's hearts?

What do you expect when you have a useless man as a president ?

Kai Bluetooth....do u hope to become anytin in life?Why re u dis frustrated?Stand up &do sumtin with ur hands &stop being lazy,relying on govt 4 evrytin.....

Gej stole Naija happiness

FOUL!!! What nonsense . . . . impossicant . . .

hmnnn... looks like data error to me. Anyways its all good, we now know Nigerians are not happy.

I am definitely NOT happy to hear that Nigerians are 100 times LESS happy than they were just last year. What in the phuck happened ?

That shows how Retardeen has affected the happiness of Nigerians

You could see the frustration in the subsidy protests

Well, it's official: the fresh air's become stale!

I can't recall a time Nigerians have ever testified to been happy. It's always "Nigeria is the worst country in the world","this leader is very wicked and corrupt", "nothing goo ever comes out of Nigeria", bla bla bla. And you say we were number 1? Hmmm, that's very hard to comprehend. Anyways, goodluck to una

This is to admit their 1st position error of last yr.
At 101, it is still not correct.
It should be the last position because even worn torn countries are happier than Nigerians imo.

What is the statistical parameter used in this anaylsis? Futher more,what's d refrnce point?

The study that alleged Nigerians were the happiest people was done in 2002. . .I doubt if Nigerians were the happiest people then. .

Oga,can you for once pass your passage across without using the bolded word. I have realized that people that are quick to use derogatory words on other people, lack self worth, they can only compensate for that by pulling other people down by their derogatory statements. Please desist from this as it is not good, more especially with level of presumed exposure you have had. Thank you in anticipation.

The first study that ranked Nigeria 1st used data gathered at an owambe party somewhere in Ogun state. The latest study ranking us 101 used data gathered at Gani Fawehinma park ojoto during the fuel subsidy rally. ;DThe first study that ranked Nigeria 1st used data gathered at an owambe party somewhere in Ogun state.

so now one cannot call a person that is goofing perpetually and has proven to be a retardeen by its name because of exposure? Whatever happens to the time tested cliché of calling a spade a spade. Sorry o. I will not call Jonathan retardeen again.

I wonder how the research was carried out. For Nigeria to be ranked 101 in the world happiness report at this present state of Nigeria is hard to believe.

They certainly got it wrong when they said we were the happiest people. The average joe is stoical, hopeful and an inverterate optimist. I think they mistook these qualities for happiness. Now, they have put us in our rightful position.
