Governor of imo State, Rochas Okorocha has made a statement only 11 percent of Nigerians are happy, and out of that 7 percent might just be claiming to be happy.

The Governor confided in military personnel who came to his state house is Owerri, under the command of air officer AMV Sampson Akpasa.

Rochas Okorocha was reported as saying, “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.

“But if you can observe recently, the level of crisis and agitations are on the increase. While we fight insurgence, I would want to advise that we also should go deep down to find the root cause of this agitation.

“Agitation comes up when people are not happy, and the whole essence of life is to be happy. For this reason, I will advice 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.

“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 aircrafts 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…”

Sampson Akpasa commended Okorocha for his impact in the state, applauding the new training grounds they have which has helped handle insurgency, during his tour, he asks for collaboration from security outfits and them being key to tackling security challenges in the country.
