Dausi rejects UN’s happiness report: ‘Malawi is the happiest place’
The United Nations’ (UN) World Happiness Report 2018 has ranked Malawi as one of the least happiest countries in the world but government has rejected the findings as flawed.
The report, an annual publication from the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network, ranked Malawia at 147 out of 156 countries.
The World Happiness Report measures “subjective well-being” – how happy the people are, and why.
But government spokesman and Minister of Information and Communications, Nicolas Dausi, has rejected the report saying it is faulty.
“Malawians are happy people and can be seen with happy faces in the village and urban areas.”
Dausi said data on happiness are notoriously subjective and should be interpreted with a dose of caution.
Despite African countries getting the worst happiness scores, one west African nation has bucked the trend. Togo came bottom in 2015 but was the biggest improver in the 2018 report, rising 18 places. Latvians and Bulgarians are also reporting higher levels of happiness.
Finland has overtaken Norway to become the happiest nation on earth, according to a UN report.

How can one be happy when we are experiencing 36hrs blackouts? Mind your language Dausi, even our crops are bought at lowest prices ever when fertilizer is expensive. We are being expropriated under this govt mukunjoya ndi otiberanu.
The only reason why Dausi and fellow DPP conmen cannot make sense out of such a report is because DPP as a ruling party to them VALUE means NOTHING. As for all conmen their INTEREST is an END to all their MEANS in ALL their endeavours.
Look, dpp will STOP at nothing to still be a ruling party in Malawi. In fact they proclaim it. Of course even if it means taking away human life. To dpp humanity and its CORE values means NOTHING. DPP will leave no stone unturned to return POWER, at any price to attain it, at any PRICE!!!!.
Ok that’s why killing means NOTHING to DPP, buying all politicians ( BJ, Change Goal,) now including all CSOs, PAC, I guess, even Chakwera himself. (if possible) this DPP government will put ANY PRICE on it,.
Value to matchonas means NOTHING but power and personal aggrandizement at any cost (mone, life, integrity virtually anything. value has no relevance but interest.
Okay are people surprised why our economy is in stumbles? Chikangawa forest is ALL gone? Goodall is a blatant lier/ witness in court? etc.
SHAME to ALL thieves and people who to them VALUE means NOTHING.
We would still be SLAVES or colonised if other people did NOT value humanity. To Geffrey and other ddp thugs, they are like one embicile Yhayha Jamiey. Ati president koma azichoka from one region/ tribe.
Of coz mentality of thieves!!!
A Santana tiyeni tizilankhulana apa osamangobwebweka zikakhala za ndale, izi ndizatonse izi si za .D.P.P or M.C.P ati dziko lathu chimwemwe mchochepa, inu muti bwaaanji kumeneko ni ozanuwo?
kkkkkkkkk I din’t know that some ministers are fools. Malawians are happy? seriously?…… God is watching you Nicholas
Chitsiru. Sinanga iyeyo ndi nduna and mwana wake ali ku Embassy.
Let me remind Dausi that,by saying happy people does not mean by showing your smile or tooth.Being happy means,to feel comfortable,free mind,to afford everything you want etc
only DPP members, cadets inclusive are happy, no one can dispute that
How can people be happy when they have poverty levels at 54%? How can they be happy when electricity power is inconsistent, with lots of blackouts? Mr Dausi thinks being a minister means defending everything. Being honest show being gentle and serious about the future
Actually Mr Nocholas Dausi you are very insensitive and careless with your reaction to the report. Blatantly put Mr Dausi you are being stupid. Seriously which Malawians are you referring to?. I don’t want to belabour myself to give you fools in government a litany of factors and problems Malawians are facing to show how dischanted they are. Which people are you governing ?. It appears to me that there is a huge disconnect between the so called leaders and the led in Malawi . Koma inuyo Mulungu akuoneni ndithu. Munakakhala anzeru Munakakhala chete and tell the reporter that I will come back to you after analysing the report. That’s how wise and intelligent ministers react to such sensitive issues. Anyway , this is what you get from bafoons trading as Ministers.
Hon Dausi is too selfish to be human being
Just look at yourself Mr Dausi……are you happy? Ask your family if they think you are happy. I promise you they will be very objective. Their answer might just surprise you
He’s happy, and who cant be happy in his position but its absurd to conclude that all Malawians are happy because he himself is happy. We are 98% of the nation
not a happy people
There is no way he would be happy with 98% of Malawian souls unhappy. He definitely has some consciousness, unless he’s just a zombie walking in the streets, disguised as a human being. maybe he is a “Siri” with a lot of incoherent vocabulary.
HE MUST BE CRAZY. I AM NOT HAPPY HERE
