Meet the Minister for Happiness and Wellbeing in the United Arab Emirate, Ohood bint Khalfan Roumi,

Meet the Minister for Happiness and Wellbeing in the United Arab Emirate, Ohood bint Khalfan Roumi,


Apparently this is what the Imo state government is copying. Roumi was appointed the Minister for Happiness and Wellbeing in the UAE in February 2016.

The government created the Ministry with the aim of promoting the UAE’s plans, programmes and policies to promote the happiness of the UAE society.

In a recent interview in Dubai, Roumi said her Ministry is not what people should laugh about as it is very important and scientific.
“This is serious business for the government. What is the purpose of government if it does not work toward the happiness of the people? It’s the duty and role of the government to create the right conditions for people to choose to be happy. Those conditions include creating an environment in which people feel empowered, and providing sound infrastructure, opportunities for a good education, jobs and healthcare, and ensuring that people feel safe and secure. We have no intention as a government to impose happiness, or mandate it, or force it. We’re just doing the right thing for our people ... so they can have a better life.”

Continuing, Roumi said 'Some people may laugh at the idea of nurturing happiness, thinking it is silly and fluffy. I assure you, it’s a science. It touches on medicine, health, social sciences. We’re trying to bring it from a broad framework into a daily practice in our society [and] in our government.”
Amongst the strangest requests she says she gets include 'My parents won’t accept my marriage. Can you help convince them?',  'I got a traffic ticket. Can you fix it?' or sometimes it’s just a humble appeal: Please make us happy'
On her reply to the Lady that asked her to convince her parents to accept her marriage, Roumi said
'“I told her, ‘You need to convince them. This is your life. I’m sorry, I would love to help, but this is not part of my scope.”

President Trump lifts travel restrictions on Chad

President Donald Trump has removed Chad from the requirement of enhanced immigrant vetting because the country has demonstrated it no longer poses any security threat to U.S. interests. “Trump signed a proclamation today announcing that the Republic of Chad has improved its identity-management and information sharing practices sufficiently to meet the baseline security standard of the U.S. Chad nationals will therefore again be able to receive visas for travel to the U.S.,’’ the White House said in a statement. Trump’s proclamation states that Chad shares information used in the U.S. screening and vetting programmes about known or suspected terrorists. “Chad also improved its handling of lost and stolen passports, which helps the United States and other partners prevent fraudulent use of the documents,’’ the proclamation said. The departments of State and Homeland Security began in December to restrict the entry of nationals from Chad, Iran, Lib...
