How do you people measure happinesss? If it is in dollars and pounds Nigeria is not a happy nation, But if it is being content with life and loving life as it goes by and enjoying what little you have Nigeria is up there, I bet you did not know that the poorest people tend to be far more happier then the rich people, Money is the Root of All EVil, But we gats get am |

Happiness is in a person not a location |

i believe it , they dont mean happy as in maybe wealthy, i think its because we know how to have fun, common, look at nairaland for example, then our soccer team, our parties, how we like to dress and show off, that why we were voted happiest country in the world |

Happiness is in an individual. You are as happy as you make yourself to be! I am a Nigerian and I am very happy- if I move to Ghana tommorrow I am still going to be happy. See, render the little help you can in life, accept the fact that there will be sufferings around and just live your life.Life is short so be happyand accept your person. |

having problems is part of life. If you don't have problems you should start begging God to give you some- but inspite of your problems be happy. Enjoy where you are on your way to where you are going.[color=#000099][/color] |

kafero: I think what they mean is Nigerians as a whole. There may be Nigerians who aren't happy, but when considered as a group, Nigerians are happier than citizens of other countries. The whole world knows that Nigerians aren't all comfortable and satisfied. We are generally hopeful people, we always believe that things would turn out well one day. Even those who dont believe anything good can come out of Nigeria are positive concerning themselves. This is probably what makes us happy. A psychologist who was talking about these reports on tv said Nigerians, and Africans in general, hardly suffer from depression. And that, depression is not a disease of poor people only. Happiness is not based on the circumstances the person is in alone, it is the state of mind. For people in our condition we're really happy people. You can see that by the way we celebrate - parties, birthdays, naming ceremonies, weddings etc. We love celebrations. We love dancing; even songs that lament over the situation of the country feature dancers! |

A world wide reseach was carried out just last year in 185 countries of the world to determine the country with happiest people and guess what! Nigeria emerged number one i mean the happiest people. But come to think of it- are nigerians the happiest people indeed? |
Re: Nigeria: The Happiest Country In The World! by DaHitler(m): 5:45pm On Jun 08, 2006 |
I think the average Nigerian knows so little about the rest of the world, that they have no idea how much better their lives could be. Like they say ignorance is bliss. I can prove this by all the air headed Nigerians that advocate one Nigeria. |
Re: Nigeria: The Happiest Country In The World! by trumic(m): 6:20pm On Jun 08, 2006 |
this is like so dumb |
Re: Nigeria: The Happiest Country In The World! by DaHitler(m): 6:29pm On Jun 08, 2006 |
tru_mic, it is true. This is not the first time I have seen the report. I also heard from another report that Nigerians are very patriotic. I think the foreign observers that conduct these poles might be too easily swayed by the praise singers. |
Re: Nigeria: The Happiest Country In The World! by DRANOEL(m): 6:41pm On Jun 08, 2006 |
if theres anyone that knows nothing about nigeria it is you afeni,you are so shallow minded (no offence) |
Re: Nigeria: The Happiest Country In The World! by food4tot: 6:49pm On Jun 08, 2006 |
Don't know how they came about with the results but I know Nigerian smiles are genuine and most UK smiles are professionally plastic. |
Re: Nigeria: The Happiest Country In The World! by molluma(f): 6:50pm On Jun 08, 2006 |
i agree |
Re: Nigeria: The Happiest Country In The World! by Shagari2(m): 8:13pm On Jun 08, 2006 |
Fela has said it, "everyday my people dey inside bus, suffering and smiling" |
Re: Nigeria: The Happiest Country In The World! by Ndipe(m): 2:55am On Jun 09, 2006 |
This topic has been debated over and again on this board. And yeah, I do agree that Nigerians are generally happy people. |
Re: Nigeria: The Happiest Country In The World! by Hotstepper(f): 3:06am On Jun 09, 2006 |
why is diz topic here again? na wah |
Re: Nigeria: The Happiest Country In The World! by geniusmuyi(m): 12:28pm On Jun 09, 2006 |
But do you know that a poor man can be happier than a rich man. Happiness may not be influenced by amount of resources sometimes |
Re: Nigeria: The Happiest Country In The World! by DaHitler(m): 12:29pm On Jun 09, 2006 |
Happines is influenced only by ignorance. |
Re: Nigeria: The Happiest Country In The World! by Alexos(m): 5:32pm On Jun 09, 2006 |
Fela said something about it: 'Suffering and Smilling Maybe he was right |
Re: Nigeria: The Happiest Country In The World! by LiquidMind(m): 5:49pm On Jun 09, 2006 |
Nigeria Are Happy people indeed |
Re: Nigeria: The Happiest Country In The World! by JosBoy4Lif(m): 7:19pm On Jun 09, 2006 |
Afeni: WTF are trying to say here, only by ignorance, First Class Mumu indeed, do you want to re-phraise ur sentence |
Re: Nigeria: The Happiest Country In The World! by DaHitler(m): 8:05pm On Jun 09, 2006 |
JosBoy4lif, no, I do not want to rephrase my sentence. Think about it, 200 years ago, having a good life and being happy would have meant having enough land to feed yourself. Maybe even having enough yam left over to trade for that leopard skin you always wanted. But fast forward to present, and those things will not a make a person happy. Now, people want luxury cars and massive houses with air conditioner and constant electricity. You see my point, there more you know, the more you have to compare. Everything in life is relative. So, most Nigerians being ignorant about life outside their borders would make it appear as if their life is fairly decent. While advanced countries like Japan are battling with the highest suicide rate while their country enjoys the second largest economy in the world. The problem being, the Japanese know too much. There is so much that they now desire that they can never be satisfied with their life. The more you know, the less you enjoy. Hence the reason why many of our best years are during childhood. |
Re: Nigeria: The Happiest Country In The World! by JosBoy4Lif(m): 8:20pm On Jun 09, 2006 |
Yes true, our best time of our life is enjoyed when we are young because we do not know better, But here you are making ur sweeping generalizations that happiness includes a luxury car and etcetera. Recently i was in Nigeria for 9 months, Luxury was out of the question but it still reamains one fo the happiest moments in my life so far, There was no steady light, i was riding bus just like every other joe, I fell sick, even had surgery, but i was happy Do you know why, because i was experiencing a sense of belonging, experiencing love from those most close to me So i hope you understand what makes you happy does not necessarily make the next person happy Life is based on experiences and more so is happinness not ignorance, Did you know that there are some bumbs in toronto who are well to do, but they enjoy that rugged lifestyle, go figure eh. |
