The Imo
State Governor Rochas Okorocha has said that 89 per cent of Nigerians are
unhappy ‘in the real sense of the word happiness’ .
Mr. Okorocha said this during a
visit by air force personnel, led by the Air Officer Commanding Ground Training
Command, Sampson Akpasa, in Owerri.
He, therefore, advised the air
force to create a department for happiness and purpose fulfilment, similar to
such ministry he recently created in Imo which drew lots of condemnation from
Nigerians.
According to Mr. Okorocha, only
four per cent of Nigerians could really be happy to some extent, while seven
per cent might claim to be happy. He added that the vital aspect of
human existence, which is happiness, must be addressed.
According to a report published by
the Nation newspaper, the governor said that agitations, insurgence,
hate-speeches and the likes, come up when people are unhappy.
“I thank you for your efforts in
bringing Regiment 211 to Imo State. In appreciation, we have donated a 200-bed
hospital to the force. This morning I spoke to the Chief of Air Force, about
our intention to also donate the school to train electricians and artisans; you
are doing a wonderful job.”
Mr. Okorocha urged the air force
officials to find the root cause of agitation in the country while fighting
insurgency.
“Agitation comes up when people
are not happy, and the whole essence of life is to be happy. For this reason, I
will advise that the Air Force too, just like I did recently, which most people
didn’t understand, should create a department for Happiness and Purpose
Fulfilment.
“This will
help to address the need of even junior officers, who may have some forms of
dissatisfaction in the discharge of their duties. Sometimes, you may think they
are happy when they are not, and this sabotages the efforts of the Federal
Government,” Mr. Okorocha said
He said mentorship is another
aspect which can help people achieve their purpose in life.
“If people are happy, there will
be less agitation. The amount of money we spend on aircraft and in the purchase
of arms would have reduced by 50 per cent. This could also end issues of
restructuring, Niger Delta and all other forms of agitations”, he said.
