blueto: Excuse me. Nigerians were never happy. Haven't you been hearing the phrase "suffering and smiling" before now? We've just basically stopped deceiving ourselves that all is well and we no longer feel it's ok to suffer unjustly. That is WHY we voted GEJ out FYI. 1 Like |

Ioannes: How on earth do you find it hard to comprehend what i just said. I never said being rich = Happiness, why are you putting words into my mouth I specifically made mention of someone who flips burger (equivalent to frying akara) is contented with what he makes, because most of basic amenities (electricity, water, good road etc) are being met. If you're gonna spew bullshiit links atleast use credible source, the survey carried out in those links (webm.com) did not include Africa in their research, (they probably figured everyone already died from depression here, lol) You can sit there and lie to yourself about how convenient and happy nigerians are, but deep down you know they are wailing and bitter about how inhumane and uncaring our rulers have been over the years You cant possibly tell me you don't browse Nairaland and see the amount of bitterness in the comment section. If sucide wasnt such a taboo in nigeria(because religion and tradition) and burial wasnt soo expensive. Trust me, alot of people will be hanging from their cellings. Just because they have high sucide rate doesnt change the fact that most african countries are unhappy. How many europeans or muricans come to africa in search of a better life? Why didnt refugees migrate to africa when they where being bombed. Its simply, they were in pursuit of happiness and comfort. 2 Likes |

It angered so many people around the world when it was said that Nigerians were the happiest people in the world. I think it didn't sit well with many in the West that any African people could be happy without them. It annoyed many Africans that couldn't bare the thought that Nigerians whome they detested could be happy. Nigerians were already arrogant, they would be unbearable. Finally, it angered many politicaly minded Nigerians who feard that the government of the day would reap the benefit. So, an impromptu campaign began in which Nigerians were ridiculed. Nigerians were stupid the criticisms went, too stupid to realise they were being oppressed. Nigerians were primitives who easly accepted mediocrity. Then all sorts of fake polls arrose in mockery; Nigerian women were the most promiscuous in the world, Nigerians were the most this and the most that in the world.Eventually Nigerians were browbeaten into accepting that they were Africans and as everyone knows Africans are the most miserable and pathetic humans on earth. Not surprising then that hence forth, no Nigerian was going to say that they are happy when asked. 1 Like |

Lol. To hell with this happiness index. It's a fine description of Fela's lyrics, ''suffering and smiling.'' We should actually be happy that we not top of the happiness ranking. Lol, it sounds ironic but we should be happy we've fallen off the rank. We need a resolute, stoic, serious and melancholic face to solve our problems, not a happy and an unserious outlook. I'm not a sadist but I think what's sad is being happy about all the problems we facing. |

Olasco93: The way people reason just to stand by this govt marvels me...Before they release the ranking they must have taken diff factors into consideration including "knowing that happiness is an individual thing"...I have traveled to diff. parts of the world and believe me they are correct especially for Algiers ranking first in african,they are wonderful people wish all muslims will learn from them. 2 Likes |

I have to wonder if you've actually lived in a first world country. Where do you think you can afford to live on a burger king salary aka minimum wage? In a crime-ridden ghetto riddled by gun totting gangsters and drug addicts. If you think people living in those conditions are happy, you need to get your head examined! Mtchheeew. Too many Nigerians living with a colonial mentality, and they wonder why their country isn't developing. Penisinpenisout: |

It seems that you're the one putting words into someone else's mouth. The first world/third world divide isn't the heave vs hell you are trying to portray. Each society has its challenges; those of the third world obviously being more dire. The person flipping burgers might be better off overall than the person flipping akara; doesn't make him/her happy! There are so many other factors than the material including inventions and what not that goes towards happiness. A television/electricity can't stop you from being in an abusive relationship, or being enstranged from your family or being in a negative environment wherever you are in the world.

Penisinpenisout: Don't be fooled. All that glitters in the so called first world is not gold. I doubt you have traveled to one or more of these countries before. Otherwise you won't be saying this type of oversimplified crap. Even for many citizens of these countries, it's not all rosy, let alone an immigrant. |
