Ok! Just to be clear, once pearl starts there should be no interruption from the judges or anyone else till the ground is open for discussion.
Killz will you announce the next person once pearl is done? Skydeep and Dubem are here.

Let those in favour of the discussion begin, then we who oppose should follow

Why not pair those that are ready?

^ I agree

Flashing back to exaggerated phrases like“money rules the world“,money answereth all things to mention but a few.One gets a clearer and vivid understanding of the importance and unestimated value of money in our everyday lives,love inclusive.
Goodevening our humble and unbiased judges,viewers and my codebaters,here to support the motion “money is requiréd to sustain love is my humble self,pearl.
What is love?love is having a great feeling of liking and affection for a person,let's talk about the phrase“like”for one to have a likeness for any person[s]they must have been certain qualities/features which the liked person posseses.features like how he/she dresses,talks carriage and physical appearance,and all of the above factors are fostered by money.forpersons appearance to catch your glimpse,money would have been spent for such greatlooks and to make up such personality.my opponent might argue and say WHO GIVES THE HECK about money/fashion?okay!what about the way he or she talks?that too would have been made possible through education which also requires the presence of money.bottom line is,money makes up the good things you see in an individual you choose to like/love. . A relationship devoid of a good and stable availability of income is like a farmer who goes to he's farmland and expect that that crops would sprung up without planting,watering and nuturing it.I put it to you that such love affair is like one between children trying to meet up with the trend and catch fun.little wonder great minds would advice that for anyone to go into a love affair he or she must be financially stable. . Also,not forgetting that romance is essential in every relationship,I put it to us that money is required to boost that also.imagine its your spouse[s]birthday and all he or she gets is a textmsg of HAPI BIRTHDAY DARLING!

What happened to goin an extra mile to be romantic by getting them a little presence/package or is my opponent going to argue romance isn't required?well I leave that for my judges to answer bearing in mind that money also makes up romance. Furthermore,love experts would say that love,care and kindness is a sure way to make an effective love life.putting all that into consideration,if your spouse needs your help financially no matter how little and you fail to be there for them,the above factors have been greatly violated. We'v also heard them say that love needs to be nutured for it to grow from one step to another and this is isn't done by folding our hands and repeatedly saying I love you to our spouses,it requires romance,care,kindness to grow and what is romance without finance or how is care shown by mere saying I care about you and kindness obviously doesn't mean having a random sex everyday. Av come across a lot of girls who complains of how their bfs uses them on bed without offering any kind of assistance to them,is that what we tag love?

A lot of tymes ignorance makes people say things like we hope in God,we hope in the future,well I would say that the future is now!your future with your spouse begins the moment you say yes to them except it isn't love. Lack of money in a relationship has led to so many moral decadence and social vices in our society.a lot of times guys hear about runs girls,they spit and curse!for crying out loud these girls have dere socalled bfs who tell them I love you twenty times daily and show it by having to wrestle with them on bed every passing day and am sure most of these girls\guys are strongly in support of the fact that money isn't a neccesity in a love affair,oh well the end result has always been the girls flirting around\cheating on their boy friends through the numerous runs they get involved in.love has basically been turned into how much you are good in bed,BORING IS THE WORD!well untill am called upon again to convince us that money actually and truely sustains love I rest my case

Goodevening our humble and unbiased judges,viewers and my co-debaters, am here to oppose the motion “money is requiréd to sustain love. I remain my humble self, Skydeep.
The word "love" has a deep meaning and not just what the above co-debater(pearl ) defined. Love includes sacrifice and sacrifice is not all about money. It goes a long way to say one can die for love(quote me wrong if I am). Permit me to use a story about my friend who almost died of kidney stone but was saved by her financeé after he donated his kidney to her. Now tell me where money was used in this story? I guess not.

Let me also take u back to the medieval ages where things like computers, phones and other computerized gadgets are yet to be invented. Do u think our fore-fathers spent a dime for love? I guess not. They had to sacrifice, trust and understand their partners. Those qualities are what nurture love. I hope the judges are convinced by my points. Thanks

All protocols duly observed...

My name is Osheshe and I'm here to oppose the motion which states 'Money is required to sustain romantic love".

The notion of equating love to money is wrong, and has sadly eaten deep into the society.

Why do people enter into relationships, albeit a romantic one? For companionship? Or is it because they want to be catered for?

A romantic relationship draws its strength from quality time spent, getting to know one another; not from the number of expensive hair extensions, designer apparels and the like bought and exchanged as gifts.

I draw my inspiration from the likes of Tara and Fela Durotoye. They started from rock bottom, practically penniless (or do I say kobo-less) and today they have a beautiful home together.

Money, the absence or presence of it should not be a basis to quantify romantic love.

Love is true, love is pure. Above all, love is unbiased.

With these few points of mine, I hereby present my introduction for this debate.
