The product of 20 and 20 is 40? Oh dear! Now, I understand better! Well, it was a typo from me. 400 is the answer! To omolola, sorry if I had annoyed you. I was pissed off when you were directing the same question repeatedly at me. Take a bow!

Epaul: Menn! See prof them. I hail una o. I don learn alot today o. Thanks to the organisers of this debate for providing an avenue for me to learn more. "Not Am but I'M" One good turn oyibo say deserves anoda. I'm Glad we won UI.

"I'm" is wrong in formal writing, you should write it in full "I am". This debate is formal so do not use colloquial English in your debate presentations.

In informal discussions, you can use colloquial terms.

Good writing is rewriting, always read and re-read your write-ups. You can have other people check them as well.

Thanks! At this juncture, I congratulate the delsu team. Bravo!!

Hehehe... I'm so glad we won this. A BIG 'thank you' to my Barrister in the making, Epaul, u were my motivation. I drew inspiration from you..just wondering what I would have done without you. Many thanks goes to the Co-ordinators and Organizers for coming up with something like this. I really learnt alot today. To my Judges, thanks for your fairness in judgement. All corrections were duly noted. To my co-debaters, I learnt a thing or two from you guys. Nice work! I must say, and to my audience, thanks for your time. Once again, I thank you all. God bless you.
TEAM DELSU!

Opinions will always differ. However, I can't underestimate the value of rhetorics in a write-up. It's a form of persuasion, I believe, for those who understand the function of a rhetoric, that is.

It's martiyu - Team UI

I must say that each one of the debaters did wonderfully good...and if I must put sentiments and prejudices apart, d better team won. This assertion of mine z predicated on d quality of dir initial argument.
Team DELSU, u faired better in dissecting d subject matter. I was awed and enthralled by your dispositions. Ur command of diction? Oh! This knocked me off my feet... Only that your counter arguments weren't concretely stated. I don't do debate, no I don't, but I noticed this flaw .
Team UI, u also did well but u could av done better. I also noticed some lapses in ur arguments but ur counter arguments were superb. Yes, they were... I almost thought omolola/omolayo was bent on seeing us go down cos of her repeated questions but then, some things may not really be d way dey appear to be.

Epaul and Amanda, congratulations!!!!

Now, back to my very own. Ay and Dami, it z a competition, we win some and we lose some.. Our losses make us better persons. They open our eyes to how we can be better people, how we can improve on ourselves, what we did that we were supposed to do differently. Rather than mar us, they make us. I hope you learned from this. I hope to c u upon resumption.

The University of Ibadan.... Irrevocably d first, truly d best.
