Quotes about Gloria
[edit]- It is a pity what is happening to Gloria. If she had known that things will turn out be bad for her...she could just remained in Australia. When her mates over there heard of her condition they were sad. Gloria rejected offers for her to represent Australia and returned to Nigeria. There were too many frustrations and coupled with the death of her father things took a turn for the worst. I’m glad that the AFN is doing something to aid her. It shouldn’t be another PR stunt, but a concrete step towards rehabilitating her. If this is the only thing the AFN can do this year it would mostly gladden my heart.
- Austin Poland Oritshe as quoted in Saving athlete Gloria Kemasuode, Vanguard, July 28, 2019.
- She (Gloria) is responding to treatment and I’m hopeful she will be okay. When she is done with treatment, she needs to be constantly in the environment of track and field so that she doesn’t relapse again. I will sure be glad to see Gloria back into her former happy and joyous self, she is such a sweet and loving woman.

- We are overjoyed that she is responding to treatment and getting better. We spoke with her for several minutes, and we are happy that she has started talking about her future already. But, she needs total rehabilitation. The family is most grateful to Athletics Federation of Nigeria, the Bayelsa State government and the individuals that played this big role
