Nigeria
In 2003, Nigerians were reported to be the happiest people in a scientific survey carried out in 65 nations in 1999-2001.[60] The research was reported by one of the world's top science magazines, New Scientist, and was picked up by a number of news outlets. See Nigeria tops happiness survey. The report considered that the country's family life and culture were more important than its problems and material wealth in determining happiness.
