CONFLUENCE Queens of Lokoja ace, Ijeoma Emenike has dedicated her winning goal against Adamawa Queens on matchday 2 to her fans.

"I dedicate the goal to my family and fans of Confluence Queens," she continued.

"I have been working hard in training and putting God first in everything that I do. I was expecting my first season with Confluence Queens to be good and I am happy that I have started scoring," said Emenike.
"As a striker I always want to score goals but at times I miss some. I don’t get disappointed by those (that I miss) instead they motivate me  to work harder and score more, she explained.
