Somaliland is Least Likely to Experience Negative Emotions
June 14, 2012 · 25 Comments
WASHINGTON — Gallup conducted a survey in 2011 that shows the people of Somaliland worry less and feel less sadness, stress, and pain in comparison to people from other 147 countries surveyed.
Gallup is a world leader in conducting and delivering research for more than 75 years. Gallup conducted surveys in 148 countries and areas throughout 2011. Gallup conducted the survey by telephone and face-to-face interviews with 1,000 adults, aged 15 and older, with sampling error of ±3.4. Somaliland people lead the world to least likely experience negative emotions on daily basis, according to Gallup’s Negative Experience Index. The score for Somaliland,11, is the lowest score out of the 148 countries that has been surveyed in 2011.
The survey asked each person five questions about the levels of sadness, stress, anger, physical pain, and worry they are experiencing at the time the survey was conducted. The Negative Experience Index is a measure of the respondents’ experience on well-being on the day before the survey, providing real-time measures of respondents’ negative emotions and pain. The score for Somaliland means that people in Somaliland have less negative emotions (less sadness, stress, anger, physical pain, and worry) than the other 147 countries.
The International community has been wondering about Somaliland people’s secret in escaping from all the violence, piracy, extremism, and horrors of drought in the Horn of Africa, and have been baffled by the real democratic progress in a very difficult region. The finding of this survey is another testament to the Somaliland’s success story. Despite the fact that Somaliland is an extremely poor country that is not recognized by the International Community as a sovereign nation, the people of Somaliland worry less and feel less sadness, stress, and pain in comparison to the other 147 countries in this survey (these 147 countries include the richest nations in the world).
This survey also supports the findings of a previous polling conducted by the International Republican Institute in 2011 that showed 90% of the people of Somaliland are very hopeful about their future in Somaliland. This is another amazing story of Somaliland story: it is a peaceful and stable nation in a very difficult region; a moderate Islamic nation that is democratic with open society; a very poor country with a population that is very hopeful and positive about their future, and leads the world to least likely experience negative emotions.

They dont worry because a magic bullet called Haji Ixtiiraf aka recognition will make all their issues disappear and according to Garadag ixtiiraaf forecasters the magic is on its way and they do apologize it for getting it wrong in the last 20 years. I asked their mos senior forecasted how he knows this time and he said andI quote "Kurdistan and Tibet as well as Utopistan will soom open embassies in Garadag, hakuna matata"
*dang iphone…forecaster..mos – most
Hargeisa is Garadag and Garadag and Hargeisa. You are nothing, but a turncoat, a renegade, and a mouth piece puppet serving Somaliland haters.
once again the dar00d open their mouth and there is jeolosy and negativity
Keyse you get it wrong. This is a scientific pollster and not bloody faqash , bootlickers.
So if you do not accept the poll, why not carry out yours in your own utopianstan.
I guess Gallup did not call Kayse to ask his expert opinion after all he is the happiest Somali guy.
As you see his first one to comment
“… The score for Somaliland means that people in Somaliland have less negative emotions (less sadness, stress, anger, physical pain, and worry) than the other 147 countries …”
It is so because they don’t value or chase the material gains that the rest of the world is after. They are content and desire no more than what one has and thank the God that it to them. Somalilanders are very dignified people whose reputation is above everything else. They are moderately religious and God fearing people, less fraudulent, unlikely to commit criminals, extremely peaceful and tolerant people with unbelievable patience. They don't envy what other people have and always think that the God that gave them, will give us too.
At least she works and use what she earns unlike you wellfare sucking creep.
Faqa666sh foq al Faqa666sh. Have dignity rid yourself of the pirates on your back before you before trying to bad mouth decent people.
You are making it like I am somebody you know or pretend to know. Sorry, you got it all. I am out of your league! Perhaps, you are mistaking me for Kayse. Somebody who knows him was telling him why, he is not at work in the McDonald..
Since when it become shameful to work and earn your living istead of begging.
Bro be humble and not arrogant work is work whether you are shoe-shiner or DR.
FYI: Prophet Muhamed (PBUH) said
The upper hand is better than the lower one.
(upper hand that gives is preferred than the lower hand that receives)
Somaliland is a nation with decent people who are content with the little they have. It's a blessed nation whom Allah blessed with peace, tranquility, happiness and shielded them from the trouble of violence, war and suffering that plagued the horn. Its a compensation from Allah.
The haters will always hate and they would always wish evil, in fact many were always wishing evil for the last 20 years but it is still standing safe and sound. May Allah continue to protect Somaliland, Amiin.
As Gobaad mentioned in her comments Somalilanders don't envy what other people have got in their possession. I'm a Somalilanders and I was told among my colleagues I do possesses a positive attitude towards work and everything else. I guess it all boils down to having a passion of you what you do, playing fair, believing in God, respecting yourself and others around then a joyful life will eventually be followed suite…Life's too short so enjoy it while you can.
Don't be like Kayse who chooses to live in a miserable life and bad mouths to whoever he thinks he/she has a better life than he does. For example Kayse bad constantly mouths to Dahabshiil and Sillanyo because he knows they both have established successful lives and they're having a fun at the same time.

Long live Somaliland and its people. Trust they lord Allah..and God will shower you with his MERCY……God Bless. Folks, don't validate and waste your breathon these useless people who hate democracy, Islam and our beautiful culture. They are driven by hate, jealousy and envy……no wonder they are cursed.
Almighty God, I beg you to continue blessing Somaliland; is all I can say really.
Don't worry folks, that is why we are victorious and trying effortful attempts to improve and attain goals in life by the day while our enemies are bugged down by hate and envy that eating them alive. Subaan Allaah! Geediga wadaay!
I just got back and I didn't see anyone thats happy in Hargeisa. Its full of boredom and unemployment and social unrest. It's just an opinion of few people on the street and they were probably saying to themselves "iintayna hooyo kugu arkin ninkan cad aad la hadlaysid iska eeri oo haa uun ku dheh" — "Are you happy today sir" — "Haa".
Besides this so called US mission should be doing its job if they have any rather than collecting the opinions of few on the web.
What an amazing "embassy". I wonder what article they will find next just to get the likes of Gobaad clapping again.
Dee marfash dadka waal waalani ku qayilayaan ayuunbaad dhex fadhiday. Oo wax aan Garadag ahayn kaagamay sheekayn.
keyse you are one jealous dog who hates every succsusful somali (just happens to be that most succsusful somalis are somalilanders). but hey you are just a hatful nothing who Feel contempt or a deep repugnance everone who has a better life then him. say allahamdullilah. i just been to hargaisa and it was amazing so i am sure you are lying.
masallah my dear wife has become pregnant i'm so excited bout this, I cnt believe I'm going to be a father.
it will be really nice to have a junior puntlandgeezer running around in hargeisa. wouldnt that be something?
Maasha Allah. May Allah bless your young family if what you are saying is not yet another episode of you dramas.
hahahaha your very naive walaal. PiratelandGeezer is only messing with your heads. His imaginary wife would be on one of those pirate boats to kidnap a ship carrying baby bottles, brams and diapers.
Warya Geezer stop messing with their head. They believe everything. Wax kasta ruun moda raaga ugu liita.
@Abraham
what a nice thing to say, thank you, really appreciated mate, but first i thought you were gona curse me & call me names.
@Kayse
seriously i got hitched, im not a lad anymore i am a man.
believing in Almighty God is the richest. Maybe this myth alone is the true discourse for
the Somaliland of moderate Islamic secular god fearing Nation(Umma) is the ultimate
sources for such qualities. The gallup mentions.."despite extremely poor and unrecognized"…
Again.."A very poor country"…without faith(Spiritual modest contentment..good Imaan) self
contentment connected to the universal Almighty God of Mother Nature and it's sciences Secular knowledges, the happiness of all the things the gallup mentioned get nurtured by the supreme
divine piety/deity. Otherwise how else such good attributes could be explained.
Cheers.
No offence my fellow landers but any chance this survey was taken around xero jaada, well when under the influence it puts you on cloud 9. From my experience anyways……..
Abdikhadar,
Somalilanders are not the only people who chew on the narcotic drugs. Yemenis, Sudanese and Ethiopians use it as well. Do we know they're placed in this category?
