African countries among world's least happy


South Sudan, Zimbabwe, Rwanda and the Central African Republic (CAR) are amongst the unhappiest countries in the world, according to the UN’s World Happiness Index.

Only Afghanistan beats them to bottom place of the 153 countries listed.

Finland has been named the world's happiest country for the third year running.
Nordic countries make up four of the top five places with the authors saying the happiest places are those where people feel a sense of belonging, and trust their fellow citizens and institutions.
The researchers asked people around the world to assess their own levels of happiness, as well as taking account of factors such as national income and levels of corruption.

This year's report was compiled before the coronavirus pandemic.

Top five:

1) Finland
2 Denmark
3) Switzerland
4) Iceland
5) Norway

Bottom five:

149) Central African Republic
150) Rwanda
151) Zimbabwe
152) South Sudan

It's a lie Biafra is the happiest

I'm not sure about Rwanda being an unhappy nation, things are working there than in Nigeria, so they should be happy.

Rubbish.

How do you measure happiness?

A Fulani boy driving his family's cattle with his sister while his parents trail behind is contented enough and happy.

The East African tribes that go about near nude and living their lives are way happier than their counterparts in so-called developed countries who are hustling to keep up with their mortgage and living large on credit.

How many times have you heard these African locals commit suicide over the crash of stock market?

Nigerians at 103,

World this, World that...

How did they conduct their research and what measures of statistics was used?

Happiest countries- amongst the least religious
Unhappiest countries- amongst the most religious

Dangotes of Nigeria are happier than those in Finland

Really?

And you know this how?

You really think there is a country without its own challenges?

Anyway, don't derail this thread.

Contentment has nothing to do with personal wealth or availability of Technology or living in a modern society.
