MC OLUOMO FIRES BACK AT CRITICS MOCKING HIS ENGLISH: “LET YOUR CHILDREN COMPETE WITH MINE”
In a bold and passionate statement, Musiliu Ayinde Akinsanya, popularly known as MC Oluomo, has clapped back at those who mock his spoken English, challenging them to match his success, particularly through the achievements of his children.
Speaking at a recent public gathering, the transport union boss reminded critics that while he may not be fluent in English, he has risen through sheer hard work and determination. From his humble beginnings as a bus conductor, MC Oluomo has climbed his way up to become the President of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), a position of great influence in Nigeria.
Addressing the ridicule he received for mispronouncing “kudos” as “Kundus,” he said:
“I stayed there and worked hard. I wasn’t educated. See, they said I said Kundus. Is my son not educated? You are educated—what have you done? They should go and compete with my children.”
MC Oluomo further emphasized that his children are now citizens of the United States and the United Kingdom, a testament to how far he has come.
“I raised my children in wealth. My children are citizens of America, citizens of the UK. I worked hard to get to that level. Kundus, kudos, what’s the difference? What do you want to hear? English is not my mother tongue, Yoruba is.”
His response has sparked conversation across social media, with many praising his honesty and determination, while others continue to debate the importance of fluency in English when measuring intelligence or success.
