The Merit Newspaper has obtained a viral video circulating on social media, in which the National Chairman of the National Union of Road Transport Workers, (NURTW), Musiliu Akinsanya, popularly known as MC Oluomo, responded to critics mocking his command of the English language.
In the video, MC Oluomo addressed his critics with confidence, declaring that while he may not be fluent in English, his hard work has afforded his children access to quality education and international citizenship.
“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?” he said.
He continued, “They should go and compete with my children. 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.”
MC Oluomo, who rose from being a bus conductor to a top-ranking official in the transport union, used the moment to highlight his journey of resilience and self-determination.
His message was clear: regardless of how he speaks, his achievements and the legacy he’s creating for his family are what truly matter.
