HMP! Hungry Man Party.

Reno is both their Chairman and their Candidate

Ets either Reno gets sense or sense get him, it is as easy as that .

Fani Kayode started this Campaign. Reno Omockery has overtaken him and taken the Hungry Man campaign to heights never reached before.

Someone's supporters have lost all the arguments, hence being petty

Some of those calling Reno hungry man can't even lace his shoes

That's true. But can you also lace those people's shoes?

Have you ever seen me getting bitter about any politicians or anyone on this forum?

Yes. Several times.

essentialone1:
Yes. Several times.

Please ,.I want you to disgrace me this morning even though there is no such record ever on this forum.

Post screenshot proves to back this your claim up

essentialone1:
Yes. Several times.

I am still waiting oo. You know if you can't provide your proves, it means you have automatically disgraced yourself

Instead of them to engage in strategic and objective campaign for their candidate ahead of the elections,they will be attacking perceived oppositions,when they lose elections they will be shouting rigging and marginalization.when the result will be announced in 2027,most of you will give up voting in subsequent elections the way you gave up in the Lagos by elections.

helinues:
My own curiosity is, have they given up in convincing those they are attacking? At least one or 2 of them are plus.

This one that they just want to be attacking anyone with different opinions from them, they might not have anyone to approach again by 2027 to support their candidate

the reno they are calling hungry man has never for once come on line to complain about economic situation,instead he has been promoting it but the people that are lamenting and languishing in abject starvation and penury still have the mind to call someone that can feed them a hungry man,I don’t know which kind of useless pride is that…egoism has eaten deep into some people that they don’t even know how worthless politically and economically they are.,as worthless as a dot in a circle.they accrue so much relevance to themselves that they don’t even realize that no president has ever taken them so seriously when elections comes with their bonus vote counts.

Bro, logically, psychologically, you can't have something doing in your life, at least averagely doing better in life and still be taking politics matter personally not to talk of being bitter about it. Why should a mere spectator be doing that

That, reasonable number of them are not consciously aware of that. See the guy who made this thread that accused me of something, he's not aware that I have aways been conscious with my engagement with others on this forum. That we don't currently share same ideology/opinion now don't mean we can't do that in future

You are an undercover hungry man. Typically, because few can eat leaving millions in abject poverty without access to food means everything is okay?

Please go back to school to relearn words and meanings. Shameful from an adult

A hungry man can never Belle full in this Tinubu regime

Femi fani kayode deserves that advertising deal than anyone alive

I thought you would have go with Buhari that you love so much. Where is your loyalty.

Shawarmagirl:
You are right. The same way you can not lace those people shoes too.

Thank you very very much
