Musiliu Akinsanya also known as MC Oluomo, the president of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), has issued a response to those who made fun of his spoken English.
A video of MC Oluomo mispronouncing the term “kudos” as “kundus” while addressing supporters and coworkers in Abuja recently went viral on social media.
When the slip happened, he was expressing gratitude, which led to a lot of online mockery.
Despite his critics’ formal education, MC Oluomo questioned their accomplishments in a recent video response.
Noting that all of his children are highly educated and citizens of both the United States and the United Kingdom, he challenged them to compare their children’s achievements with his own.
He credited his success in the transport industry to perseverance, stressing “I started as a bus conductor, then as a treasurer of a unit of NURTW, to unit chairman, to branch deputy treasurer, to branch treasurer, to branch chairman, to state chairman, and then to national president. I worked hard to get here. I am not educated.
“So, they are mocking me for saying ‘kundusi’, is my child not Qudus? You that you are educated, what did you do?” he queried.
Akinsanya’s children are known to be in the defence of their father anytime he goofed on social media with a bad expression.
In 2022, one of his sons, who identified as King West on Instagram, challenged those calling his father a lout.
Kingwest took to his account after a troll tagged his father a tout who was just enjoying the national wealth because of his relationship with President Bola Tinubu.
He wrote, “For those calling my father a tout, if my father was your father, you would never lack love, care, protection. Get a father like mine.”
