Launched in 2012, the World Happiness Report is an annual survey conducted by the U.N.’s Sustainable Development Solutions Network. Typically, the statisticians base the ranking on data from the Gallup World Poll. But this year was a bit different.

Nigeria is the 116th happiest place in the world, which is a rank lower than its position last year.
