MC Oluomo, the head of the Lagos state branch of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), has fired back at those who often ridicule his spoken English.
Speaking at a public event, the transport union leader said he may not speak perfect English, but those mocking him haven’t achieved what he has, and their children can’t compete with his.
MC Oluomo, whose real name is Musiliu Ayinde Akinsanya, shared a bit of his life story when he was struggling in the streets.
He explained how he started as a bus conductor and worked his way up to become the NURTW President, crediting hard work and determination for his success.
“I stayed there and worked hard, I wasn’t educated. See, they said I said Kundus. Is my son not Kundus? You are educated; what have you done? They should go and compete with my children.”
MC Oluomo added that his children were raised in comfort and are now citizens of countries like the U.S. and the UK.
“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,” he said.
