Nigerians on social media areNow hailing Rochas Okorocha for Inspiring UK and Dubai to create ministries of loneliness

A couple of months ago, Imo State governor, Rochas Okorocha created a Ministry of Happiness and Purpose Fulfilment to address ‘bitterness’ in the state and Nigerians decended on him heavily on social media.

Just yesterday, the United Kingdom announced the appointment of Tracy Crouch as the  ‘Minister for loneliness’ to tackle problems of loneliness affecting millions of people in the country, not to mention United Arab Emirate’s minister of happiness who recently said her job is not a laughing matter.

Now many Nigerians on social media are hailing Okorocha for inspiring other countries in the world to create ministries to make their people happy.

See all the tweets below…

It seems the Brits are copying us ooo. They have created Ministry for Loneliness. It is an infringement of Okorocha’s discovery.
