My fellow steemians, i hope you are all good. I am happy to be here once again to participate in the contest organised by @ninapenda in steem4nigeria with the topic "Love And Money". It is a very interesting topic, and i'll like these my friends,@blessedbee,@kidi40, @radleking to join in the contest.

Love to my own understanding is when you have affection for something. While money is an item you can use to get goods and services.

Lets dive into the contest question.

Have you ever been served a breakfast, I mean (heartbreak) or do you know anyone who has had a heartbreak. Share with us.

I have been served a breakfast of heartbreak from men twice, others, on several occasion. Because of the experience i saw my friend Abigail went through in the hands of her boyfriend then, i promised myself that i will never allow any heartbreak broke me down. I told myself that if it warrant me to cry, i will cry for at most one week, then i will move on.

I will share the experience of heartbreak my friend Abigail had. She started dating this guy right from our final year in secondary school. We finished secondary school, and the relationship continued till she gets into the university. One day, she went to the guys house and saw another girl tying her wrapper.

The guy pursued her to go back to her house, that he didn't ask her to come. That's how my friend cried and went back under the rain. Heartbreak made her not to remember that there's a gutter in the Street. She fell inside the gutter with water. Till now she can't explain how she was saved.

My own experience of heartbreak was when my boyfriend had a birthday, he brought another girl that he harboured in his house for some days, unknowingly to him that I'm aware. I was thinking he will send the girl away before his birthday. He asked me to arrange with my friend that has a small sitout where she prepares ishiewu and perewinkle. I arranged everything with my girlfriend, and everywhere was set.

My people in the evening, my guy brought the girl there, i served the girl a plate of kpomo and periwinkle with drink, and also his friends. Funny enough, his friends were calling me our wife😀After everything, i purposely asked him that i am following him to his house. I was expecting him to construct a lie and give me reasons to see with him not to come to his house. But he bluntly said NO that i can't follow him. The girl he brought has already entered his car and sitted. And he asked one of his friend to drop me in my house.

I told the guy to get away that i want to treat his fuck up. I opened up to him there that i knew about the girl in his house, and pointed directly to the girl so that he will know the exact person i am talking about. After i exposed all his nonchalant behavior. I quit the relationship there and left. Even when it affected me so much, i had to take that decision because the disrespect to me was too much.

Does genuine love without money exist? Explain

Money makes every relationship sweet. Even in marital home, when there's no money to put things in place, there will be quarel every now and then. Genuine love can only exist if one of you can foot the bills without being tired and disrespectful, and the money is always there to spend. It means you love the person genuinely despite that the other person does not have.

Any relationship that loves without money, it doesn't last because, if one among them sees money somewhere else, they will run to where there is money. Who doesn't like good things. Nobody can deceive me that there's love without money.

If you were given the opportunity to choose between money and love, which would you prefer? State your reasons

If opportunity is given to me to choose between love and money, i will gladly choose money. My reasons is that i can use money and increase the chances of buying love, but i cannot use love to increase the chances of getting money. I am a good example of using money to increase the chances of buying love. There's this guy i dated, i just wanted to eat his money and run because i didn't like him. This guy started buying me things, cares for me to the point that i fell in love for him. Now when the real love came, i started telling him to serve money so that we can plan our life. He needed not to be told that love has come 🤣. So there was money before the love came.

It is true that money answers to all things, in your own understanding, can money answer to love?

It is true that money can answer to love. Some of our young girls that marry billionaire wouldn't have married them if not for the money. Money answers to all the material things in this world. You want something, you have the money to get it. Or someone gives you the money to get it. If you are the one that provides for yourself, you will love whatsoever that is the source of you being able to provide for yourself. Some people choose their job, Some choose husbands or boyfriends. Everyone loves living a good life. You need money to have a good life and love. Taking your spouse to good places for holiday, handouts increases the love he or she has for you.

In conclusion, love comes as a result of care and respect. If a man or woman cares and respect you today, even when there's no money tomorrow, small fear of God and your conscience should make you remember the good times of yesterday when the money was there.
