How to be a happy Nigerian

Around eight young fellows sat cycle a wooden table in one of the messy neighborhoods of Nigeria's government capital Abuja. On the table was only a bottleful of a nearby gin encompassed by a few little tumblers. Not a long way from that point was a nearby bar. Matured somewhere around 15 and 23, by my gauge, the young fellows were tasting their gin consistently, singing and moving cheerfully.

It was on Thursday evening that I saw those upbeat young fellows. As I watched them while having a hair style, I had a craving for going through a couple of minutes with them. Their grinning faces, the clamorous giggling, the music they made by beating vacant jars and seats – their joy could scarcely be covered up. I saw satisfaction: They were getting a charge out of the drink they could manage the cost of and which would keep them "high" [intoxicated] for the majority of the day. Despite the fact that they would have happily acknowledged brew as unconditional present, they didn't request it from the nearby bar where rarities including hedge meat and goat meat bundled as "pepper-soup" were sold at direct costs.

On Friday I went by an ordinary "huge man", likewise in the FCT. All way of beverages was accessible. In the event that you needed to eat, you went to the feasting segment and took as quite a bit of any dish as you preferred. Be that as it may, I didn't see much satisfaction on the characteristics of our host and his companions. There was no giggling. The condition of the country commanded discussions.

I saw additionally that our host wasn't taking any of the beverages accessible. After he had eaten a little nourishment, a helper immediately conveyed to him a little paper sack containing his prescriptions. I presume they were for the treatment of hypertension and diabetes: our host was around 70 and profound.

The extra lesson I gained from the two experiences is this: Happiness is a demeanor of the brain. Cash doesn't bring bliss. Also, just the individuals who feel placated with what they have can be upbeat.

Each December summons in me snapshots of satisfaction. I don't know whether this is a direct result of the Christian celebration that is constantly seen in this month. It could likewise be on the grounds that the year is reaching an end. I used to take "New Year resolutions" each December 31. Not any longer. At my age, I can't change my conduct. In any case, for human shortcomings, I won't have to go to admission any longer!

I took in this lesson in satisfaction quite a while back. What's more, I've expounded on it: I said on the off chance that I could get N50million without a moment's delay, I would resign but then live "joyfully many". A devastated peruser who has never observed a million naira, substantially less touch it would believe I'm overambitious. In any case, if the peruser would one say one was of those oppressors, he would state something like, "Poor person, what's he discussing? That is the thing that I spend on one get-away abroad."

So there are two universes in Nigeria, much the same as the two gatherings of individuals I met having fun in various ways. Bliss is not something anybody ought to hope to get from any legislature. What's more, it's not on the grounds that those in government are twisted people; no, they are fairly defenseless. No pioneer would be cheerful to see other individuals enduring or miserable.

We must change our ways of life. We must be placated with the little we have and not be excessively aspiring. At last, everybody will pass on and abandon each property. See why we ought to look for satisfaction now? On the off chance that poor Nigerians would choose to be glad from this time forward, they could "end" the retreat in their nation. Every one of the stresses would be gone.

The rich ensure each other. Indeed, even what we know as government is a pack up. That is the reason Nigerian law itself is intended to secure the privileged people, and after that rebuff poor people. In the event that exclusive the poor knew this mystery, they wouldn't blaze negligible cheats alive in the commercial center. They would comprehend that it's appetite that is compelling some to take, and that many are poor in light of the fact that the uber cheats have been taking from them.

Ought to a rational individual possess N1billion in one lifetime? Unless one is degenerate, ravenous and narrow minded, one can't have N1billion in today's Nigeria. How can one want to spend and appreciate N1billion in this short life in any case? The life expectancy of a Nigerian is around 49 years.

Just tricks have declined to take in the lesson that passing shows us. That is the reason a large portion of today's tycoons are without beneficiaries. Yes, the billions have been aggregated, yet his youngsters are squandering it and notwithstanding obliterating themselves with it. Some of their kids are medication addicts; their girls can't live with spouses.

All in all, what makes the extremely rich person father upbeat? It can't be nourishment or beverages. In addition, he might be diabetic, hypertensive or both; the specialist says he ought to maintain a strategic distance from beat yam, meat, eggs, mixed beverages, drinks and certain organic product. She needs to smolder fats at the rec center – or do tummy-tuck like a previous first woman who lost her life all the while.

A dead extremely rich person is not more important than a dead canine. The billions of naira and dollars would taunt him when he could no longer spend even a dime. The stores in European and American banks may be lost for eternity. Also, what could be more dishonorable than losing a large portion of the procured or stolen advantages for past adversaries?

Agnostics and their kind merit feel sorry for. What makes them think there can be a plan without a creator? Man's Maker more likely than not anticipated the mischievousness of his animal when He made passing. Without death, the life of man would have been most exhausting and generally frightful.

Today is a day for fun. The individuals who need to be upbeat ought to make their own particular satisfaction. No one else will make it for them. Thus, reveal the drums and how about we commend, my comrades. We just need to change our mentality with a specific end goal to be upbeat. Retreat or no subsidence, everybody that is perfectly healthy will have something to eat today. Cheerful Christmas Nigeria!
