        I have so many questions. First of all “Happiness and Couples”- is she going to be a couples counselor? Also, I’m pretty sure there’s a Ministry of Education, Health, and Transport that can handle all those examples of happiness policy she gave 😒

        She doesn't even seem happy herself, how is she going to spread and inspire happiness when she sounds annoyed?

        The funny and more sad thing is she doesn't get the joke and defends this madness. Look at Norway and Denmark, the happiest nations on earth but they don't have this stupid and meaningless positions What is wrong with us?

        The ministry of education enforces the free education and the ministry of happiness ensures people are happy about it... Now I get it, winder why I didn't see it before. Rochas, his sister and his administration are mad, now I get it! Now, I see it!

        Nigeria wow. I just watched unhappy young girls walking across the Sahara desert in search of a better life. Young men are being auctioned in Lybia. You clearly have your priorities upside down. Bible teachings and blasphemy have taken centre stage in politics.
