According to a new study, people who rate themselves as the happiest are more likely to share a certain gene.

A researcher in a recent summit claimed that this holds true for countries like Nigeria.

For the study, the researcher used data from the World Values Survey (WVS) he gathered.

The WVS is a global research project itself, looking into peoples’ values and beliefs, and how they change over time and in response to what.

From this, she figured out the average percentage of people who reported to be “very happy” from countries around the world, and then looked at climatic data, prevalence of disease, World Bank economic data, and population genetics.

According to the researcher, she found a “strong correlation” between the happiness of a nation and the prevalence of a particular variant of the fatty acid amide hydrolase, or “FAAH,” gene.

This, they say, prevents the breakdown of a particular chemical, anandamide, known to enhance “sensory pleasure” while helping to “reduce pain.”

Those countries that have populations with the highest proportion of the gene variant also report themselves to be the happiest, she said.

They are just lots of helpless and hopeless people,a british experiment that worked.

This gene, if it does exist isnt hereditary. It came as a result of adaptational mutation. Suffering do master us. Lol

If what they call happiness is what Nigerians feel then I that happiness must not be the same as joy. I live in Nigeria , which happiness. Small thing na fight or shout or kill or jungle justice or ... No one should deceive us or me.

Suffering and smiling gene

That's trueb

Really abami eda fela call us suffering and smilling

The happiness gene died with gej. Now we have the wailing gene

Lol. I wouldn't even doubt that

The gene name is "bet9ja"

Yes, it's called buharigene

oyinbos dey perform all sort of research and undertake all sort of studies while we re here waiting for NEPA to bring light in the 21st century

.

to

Lol it must be triggered by excessive suffer, to stop you from committing suicide

Unfortunately it has made us too playful... we dont care about serious issues again

In fact there is a serious stereotype that people believe worldwide that black people are somehow "less sensitive to pain"..it causes a lot of problems when we go for medical treatment because doctors/nurses dont take us seriously and more of us end up dying as a result

It has its roots in slavery because people believed us to be sub-human or "animal-like" and it still affects how people perceive us today

Look up the story of what happened to Serena Williams when she went to give birth to her daughter... i dont really appreciate this kind of research even if its true

That gene must only affect buhari supporters, they are very happy with what they've done.

B

Rubbish. Gene kor Jean ni. We know the factors that are responsible. So because she's white, we are supposed to accept this?

Na for heaven Nigerians go protest

This is why crooks and criminals will continue to be elected in government, because those that elect them are always happy electing them

As much as Jonathan and his dogs stole our money, we survived it, as much as Buhari and his Police and DSS harass us, we still live, so I believe

I seconded the motion.

Yeah. Just like a lot of the have the gene for foolishness, ritual, showing off, paedophilia, bbnaija , corruption and shortsightedness .

There must also be a gene for foolishness somewhere too.

ok
