"I am not bothered if I am seeded or not because seeding is just on paper as what can bring medal to you is what you can do on mart. I am going there with the hope of turning my silver and bronze medals to Gold this year. It is going to be tough because everybody is looking forward to make it to the podium but we are ready physically, having trained normally in Bayelsa in readiness for the Championship, " the 2017 silver medalist said. The 24-year-old Commonwealth gold medalist however, expressed confidence in the four-man team made up of herself, Blessing Oborodudu, Aminat Adeniyi and Blessing Onyebuchi.
