Nigeria Ranks 103 In World Happiness Record

The 2016 World Happiness Report has been released ahead
of the UN World Happiness Day on March 20th 2016 by the
Sustainable Development Solutions Network of the United
Nations.

Following a proposal from the Prime Minister of Bhutan, a
Buddhist Kingdom in South Asia with a Minister of
Happiness and a day of happiness, the UN General
Assembly declared March 20th as the World Happiness Day
in 2012.

The report is an analysis of Gallup World Poll data
generated from surveys of 1,000 people in each country
every year for three years. They were asked to evaluate
their lives on a ladder scale of zero to 10.

According to the report, the key ingredients of happiness
are; longer life expectancies, more social support, more
freedom to make life choices, lower perceptions of
corruption, more generosity, less inequality of happiness
and high gross domestic product per capita.

The top ten on the list were:
Denmark
Switzerland
Iceland
Norway
Finland
Canada
Netherlands
New Zealand
Australia
Sweden

Other countries were ranked as follows: United States (13), Israel (11) and Austria (12). Germany (16), United Kingdom (23), Japan (53), Russia (56) and China (83) and India (118) UK (23), Brazil (17), and Nigeria (103).

The bottom ten on the list were:
Madagascar
Tanzania
Liberia
Guinea
Rwanda
Benin
Afghanistan
Togo
Syria
Burundi

Those who compiled this list must be really high on something cheap because the Nigerians that I am conversant with are not happy people, they only fake a smile while suffering.
