For what language? You want something like this in a new file
~/.vim/syntax/python.vim (or wherever your .vim directory is on your
platform):

syn keyword pythonTodo FIXATION FIXIFY NEEDS_DONE

For C, change python.vim to c.vim and pythonTodo to cTodo, for java
make it java.vim and javaTodo, etc.

If you want it everywhere, what exactly are you doing it for? The
biggest sledgehammer is something in your vimrc like:

match ErrorMsg /\<FIXATION\>/
match ErrorMsg /\<FIXIFY\>/
....

but there are probably better solutions depending on what you want.

I thought it should be global, but then I started looking in the syntax
files and found out that most of them already have todo, fixme, etc....
and there's even a highlighting group named "Todo"!
Problem solved! Tks
