It comes with health challenges that creep into our lives and reduces our productivity. People often get burnt out as a result of not being happy with many issues about their lives, some within and some beyond their control. We have set up this center to offer a wide range of services to enable people achieve the single most important thing that humans strive for -happiness\u2019.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">He added \u2018we are all in pursuit of happiness. We sleep and wake up<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">hoping that each new day is better than the one before it, when this<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">happens, we are happy and when the reverse is the case there is<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">unhappiness\u2019.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Corroborating his point, the General Manager of The Happiness Center,<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Francisca Ukabiala said \u2018The Happiness Center is timely in a city like<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Lagos. We probably all saw the viral video of the recent comments by the Governor of Kaduna State that people who have lived in Lagos deserve a special ticket to get to heaven having already lived in\u00a0 what in his opinion is a hellish city. At The Happiness Centre, we are saying that<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">happiness is all around, it is in the energy that keeps the city moving<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">and most importantly it is in the haven that we have created to ensure<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">that people have greater bouts of positive energy once they walk in and<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">out of our doors and experience bespoke wellness, relaxation. meditation and nutritional services\u2019.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">The Happiness Center has as part of its mission to make the achievement<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal three (Good Health<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">and Wellbeing) possible in Nigeria.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">The center promotes herbal therapies and hosts a wide range of personal and group programmes including Yoga, Meditation, Ayurveda, Nutrition packages and more; all of which are handled by trained and certified experts who ensure world class standards.<\/div>\n<\/p><div data-ad-id=\"32665\" style=\"text-align:center; margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px;float:none;\" class=\"afw afw_ad_image afw_ad afwadid-32665  \">\r\n                                                            <div style=\"font-size:10px;text-align:center;color:#cccccc;\">Advertisement<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.accessbankplc.com\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" height=\"auto\" max-width=\"100%\" src=\"https:\/\/nationalwire.com.ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Banner-1.jpg\"><\/a>\r\n                                                                        \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>United Nations designated International Day for Happiness March 20, will for the first time be commemorated in Nigeria by The Happiness Center in Lagos Nigeria &#8211; a fully equipped and modern center that caters to health, wellness, wholesomeness and alternative medicine.
