Of course we are happy people! Though we have no reliable electricity from PHCN - Still we've got our Japan generators giving us light when we need it. And though we can't get adequate water from the Water board - Still privately dug boreholes/wells are doing just fine for us. And since we can't get jobs - some of us have 'lazily' turned to kidnapping to make ends meet and the rest of us 'conscientious folks' are doing some meagre jobs or small business. Did I forget? With our educational system falling more and more yearly - Miracle centers are on the rise and JAMB cut off mark reduced. And need I talk about the state of our roads and infrastructures? - Why bother? We are all 'walking' it off and where we can't we simply 'Strike' it off. Of course Nigerians are happy people, yet churches are on the rise, as the people seek consolation 'desperately' in God. Yeah ... We are happy people alright. 1 Like |

We are a people that can hardly hide our excitement at seeing family and friends. Some misconstrue this thinking we are loud but let’s just say we are EXPRESSIVE! If you see us on the streets of New York making a big ruckus and hugging? No sweat. We are just happy to see each other. lol |

Re: Are Nigerians Actually Happy People - Myth Or Fact by harlos: 11:31pm On Jul 01, 2013 |
I think our being happy doesn't have a special reason, we choose to be happy nd that is why we are happy. Its our choice to be. |

PrettySpicey: Of course we are happy people!I get your sarcasm, except the borehole part. What's wrong with using boreholes? Some people abroad now limit the number of times they bath in a week because of escalating water bills. If I have a choice anywhere I'll choose borehole. |

scandinavian countries (denmark, iceland, norway,sweden, finland etc) populate that list because they have HIGH quality of life and least income disparity even by gender. their governments are strong and very protective of its citizens. students get paid to go to school!! men and women have generous materity and paternity leave etc. free child care and healthcare, u name it! the people are CONTENT. content is the right word here. happiness is fleeting and without sadness there won't be happiness. so being happy has to mean that you were previously sad. happiness is a temporary high. contentment is a better word and describes a serene state of mind. |

My joy is not dependent on d govt policy, security situation of d country or odawise. Do u knw wat gave Jesus dat peace of mind dat made him sleep in d boat despite d storm? D peace dat passes human understandin is d answer. And dat is d anchor of my joy. It is called unspeakable joy. SHALLOM |

This one of the things politicians are using to continually exploit nigerians. They are very much aware of the fact that we don't complain about anything-happy people, so I guess we'll continue to suffer the price of been happy-i.e exploitation. |

Why won't you say you are happy shuffering n shmilling ppl.when there is no light you must be happy. When road no good you must be happy. When there is no justice in the country and massive corruption prevails, why won't you say you are happy? When life expectancy dwindles yearly and preventable disease cut ppl life short, you Must be haapy DICKtator: I AM H-A-P-P-Y |
