Overcome Any Problem With Determination
If "Imagi-nation" is the greatest nation, then "Determi-nation" is the strongest and most fulfilling nation known to man. It will cost you nothing to be a citizen of imagination; it will cost your time, your finances, your relationships, and your all to be a citizen of determination. What the mind can conceive, the man can achieve - through [...]
It is not over until it is over
This is just a congratulatory note to Ghana, the newly crowned 2009 U20 World Champions. One man down from mid-first half against the mighty Brazil, Ghana has yet again proved to mankind that success is only achieved when you are tenacious and stay in the game till the very end, no matter what. With only 2 shots on target throughout the match, [...]
Hurricane Melanie Oudin
It's about 1.15am, Thursday September 10, 2009 and I'm still very much awake, watching the 2009 US Open Quarterfinal match between two teenage ladies, 17-year old Melanie Oudin and 19-year old Caroline Wozniacki, as relayed LIVE on ESPN. Prior to this competition, the name Melanie Oudin meant next to nothing to me. I must say, I'd never even [...]
A YOUNG MAN OF MANY DREAMS…ROFEM LIVES ON
It’s exactly a week now since I painfully watched my dear friend, Rofem Emmanuel Enyieko, being laid to rest at a young age of only 24. Such was the pain and agony in everyone’s heart that no more tears could be shed. Infact, you could see it in everyone’s eyes, the one question that was going through every mind; “could this be [...]
Great Mind Personality of the Week – Roger Federer
Hi there. I'll like you to take note of the title of this article, because you'll be seeing it henceforth every week. Obviously the only change you'll get to see is the personality in question. Yet another innovation at GLORIOUS. So, today, I'll like to talk about a personality in a game which I love so much. Obviously not a popular game [...]
Can the future be predicted?
I believe you woke up this morning with a list of some things to do, all figured out in your mind. Some, being the spill over of yesterday’s list. I am equally convinced that; even if you have been tagged lazy, you will wake up from bed, which scientifically can be proved to be work. I know you are aware that your daily routine certainly, is [...]

An interview with a great mind – Rick Warren
Hi, Today, I would like to share with you this absolutely incredible and mind-blowing short interview with a great mind - Rick Warren, 'Purpose Driven Life ' author and pastor of Saddleback Church in California. In the interview by Paul Bradshaw with Rick Warren, Rick said: People ask me, What is the purpose of life? And I respond: In a [...]
Unforgettable Easter as heroic Captain Phillips regains freedom
It's been an interesting drama since Wednesday, 8th April 2009, when pirates hijacked a US-flagged cargo ship carrying about 400 containers of food aid about 350 miles off the coast of Somalia in the Indian Ocean. Ever since I got wind of this event on CNN, I have been a keen follower of the actions, reactions, escape attempt, reports of [...]
DO YOU WANT TO BE GREAT? CONQUER GREAT PROBLEMS
Wow!!! It's the last day of March 2009. Hasn't the good Lord been faithful? Indeed, it is a good thing to thank God for His mercies. I look back at the last 30 days of this month, and I just can't say anything else but "Thank You Lord". Thank you for all the provision, protection, good health, money, favour, life etc. Can I say thank you for [...]
