An article I read in the Guardian newspaper titled “A bouquet for an aspiring world champion” really got me thinking about “DETERMINATION” and “SUCCESS”. Prince Kennedy Nwamkpa was determined to be a successful body builder and weight lifter despite the fact that our great country Nigeria does not have the facility not the equipment that will benefit people involved in his chosen profession. Secondly, the body building profession is very expensive to run due to the fact that you have to be on a special diet but with all the odds against him, Prince Kennedy achieved the unexpected; he got an eight placed position at the World Weight Lifting Championship held in the United States in October and also got invited to both the Arnold Schwarzenegger Classic (body building competition) and Mr World Championship next year.
Finally to the bigger picture, the only person I know that has such a determination in all of our leaders in Nigeria; is in the person of our beloved Governor of Lagos State Babatunde Raji Fashola. Just take a look at the tremendous work he’s doing in Lagos with his acute implementation of policies, which has turn and is still turning Lagos around for good. This goes to say that determination begets success.
