Magichand:
Better Suffering and smiling gene

greatbrian:
No matter how bad the economy is someone must just do something controversial to trend and make the country happy. Formerly it was tacha later Buhari Wedding I wonder what will happen tomorrow to put a smile on our faces for the week ahead.

In short we are all mad in Nigeria

midnighter:
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

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.

LocalNietzsche:
These adaptations can be defined by factors that are much older. People that live in tropical areas live in paradise (climate speaking). Prove includes our length of night and day is kind of a balance. Unlike in temperate zones where length of winter is associated with high depression. There is something about light and warmth that affects humans mood.
It is a disadvantage only when you consider depression something positive. I do consider it as positive because depression is a manifestion of anxiety, anxiety is associated with self-consciousness. Self-consciousness is associated with attention. Attention is focus which increases the intensity of awareness.

Olyroks:
That is why it's so difficult to sell the idea of War to an average Nigeria despite all we've been thru', we love life and happy to live it to the fullest

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

kenx1:
suffering and smiling

blackboy:
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.
