The social media is buzzing with comments and mixed reaction after a photo and video clip showing the billboard for the newly created ministry of Happiness and Purpose Fulfillment in Imo state.
Gov. Okorocha and his sister the commissioner
Recall that few weeks ago, the Imo state governor, Rochas Okorocha, created the Ministry of Happiness and Purpose Fulfilment, and appointed his younger sister, Mrs. Ogechi Ololo, as the commissioner for the newly created ministry.
A statement by the governor's Chief Press Secretary, Sam Onwuemeodo, revealed the motive behind the ministry and said: “The real essence of life is to be happy and to fulfill one’s purpose in life. Government officials are elected to address this. This is the very reason people elect their leaders to guarantee their happiness and purpose fulfillment.”
The governor went further to say: “There is no activity of mankind that is not geared towards providing happiness. Unfortunately, this vital element of our social lives has not been properly addressed.
"Governments at different levels have created several ministries and departments to achieve this, yet people are bitter, angry with hate speeches which lead to crisis, war and even terrorism."
Meanwhile, popular Nollywood actor, Daniel K. Daniel, who recently paid a visit to the state, has taken to his Instagram page to share a photo and video clip of the billboard for the newly created ministry.
He captioned it; "Forgive me Rochas but this is for real! ? Thought it was jokes fam #MinistryofHappiness and Oringo ?? Going to See my Special Statue now. #AkpuolaMu ? #AkpuokaGi ?"
