With NPP busy spreading doom and gloom creating fear and panic, how can we have a happy population. So long as Nana is alive Ghana will never be a happy country.

Mahama must go but Nana Addo is not alternative because he is desperate for the presidency . He has sold his inheritance in UK to support his camping and will use our money to regain the lost inheritance.

This is going to all the great NDC PARTY sympathizers, as we all knew the true History of UP / NPP and how they chased the founder of this nation (GHANA ) KWAME NKRUMAH with a Bombs throwing, we as NDC supporters must not in any way seat down unconcerned for them to butcher us. I'm here for urging all of us to stand up to respond to the invitation they threw to us, the Npp has called us and we must respond to it as soon as possible. NDC Sympathizers must bear it in their mind that , the party isn't formed by a cowards, if you are , then i'm sorry to tell you that you are in a wrong place. The Npp is now killing the innocent NDC members in ( BRONG AHAFO ) and we seat down like nothing is happening? What is wrong with NDC now a days?

Gen Kotoka was a trokosi who overthrew Nkrumah and renamed the Accra Int Airport after him. He was a traitor and the father of NDC.

You're not serious about your comment. If corruption is being tackle, why would people complain and be bitter? Ghana is the way it is right now because corruption is tolerated and hardly the culprits are persecuted & jailed.

Who is responsible for our sorrowful state and who has turned our country into a nation of dead goats?

I think I know the answer and your guest is as right as mine. No body but the criminal monster killer fake socialists led Rawlings and his gangsters senseless CIA sponsored revolution to clear the upspring of patriotic and progressive elements whose selfless national contributions made us all happy and proud as citizens of Ghana.

People of Bhutan are happier than most people in civilized, industrialized democratic nations even in their wretched environment and meager annual wages; the people of Bhutan are happy knowing they each get to contribute to society and share in its resources.
Ghana and Ghanaians choose individual selfishness and associated greed over the collective good and happiness. It comes with our desire to be free even when the majority is being royally screwed by a few. Ghanaians cannot worry about some happiness index; we are happy to be free from Nkrumah just as long as we enjoy our streets flowing with milk and honey promised.

"Ghanaians cannot worry about some happiness index; we are happy to be free from Nkrumah just as long as we enjoy our streets flowing with milk and honey promised."

Unless you are trying to be sarcastic, I think you are way off the mark.

Yeah... our streets are flowing with milk and honey alright. You forgot to mention that without Nkrumah, your streets are flowing with diseases such as CHOLERA which has killed hundreds, if not thousands of Ghanaians because the streets have been over-ran by garbage and filth.
GHANAIANS LIVE IN FILTH AND THE darknes of "DUMSOR".

Very deserving of a populace which prefers fools, thieves, scammers, those without vision and corrupt people as leaders instead of geniuses like Nkrumah with tons of foresight.

Serves Ghanaians right to be wallowing in abject poverty and economic hardships by millions while the few corrupt politicians are whooping it up on the backs of the fools who voted them into power.

This "happiest" thing is highly relative and does not make much sense or even reflect reality. It's simply BIAS: How could countries whose citizens DEPEND on CREDIT cards (permanent personal debt) be happiest?

How could countries whose citizens freeze in cold temperatures most of the 12 months of the year be happiest?

How could people who pay unending mortgage for the house they supposedly "OWN" be happier?

The basis of measure used for this so called statistic is not reflective of the values of EVERY CULTURE. If the same thing is done using CULTURE SPECIFIC measure, the opposite will be the REALITY!!
