Now buzz off and stop making a fool of yourself

The genius totally misses the point. My friend, the point is that things have not always been this way and it has nothing to do with military rule or not
Here is Nigeria's happiness ranking in 2003:
In 2003 we were #1. Now we are 102!!

Again lies, you’re using different metrics. Happiness surveys and the actual happiness index aren’t the same thing. The survey you posted that lists Nigeria as the ‘happiest nation on earth’ is just a survey. It holds no water. the happiness index is something much more comprehensive that’s carried out by supranational institutions such as the UN. If we want to judge how happy Nigerians have been then we should use the happiness index.

When you look at that index, Nigeria was always unhappier than most of the world. I can’t take you seriously if you actually think Nigeria was at one point the happiest nation on earth. That is BS.

Cherrypicking stats makes you look like an even bigger fool.

You still here? I thought I told you to buzz off.
And still talking like an idiot. A scientific survey done by Scientist magazine and published by BBC is what u denigrating. The same exact survey went from ranking Naija #1 to now ranking her #102, and things have always been the same! Abeg vamoose. Bye bye

Again, it’s a different source. Nigeria has never been no 1 on the UN’s Happiness Index. Also, re-read the article on Nigeria being ranked the happiest nation on earth. It was a study done only on 65 nations. That’s just one study which was done on a limited number of countries. There are countless of rankings that wouldn’t place Nigeria anywhere as No 1 in that time frame.

Nigeria only ranked 82 on that ranking. Your argument that Nigerians were happy based on a single study doesn’t hold water.
