President of the National Union Of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), Musiliu Akinsanya, popularly known as MC Oluomo, has fired back at critics mocking his command of the English language.
In a video that has since gone viral, MC Oluomo addressed the backlash he received over a recent gaffe where he mispronounced the word “kudos” as “Kundus.”
Rather than shy away from the criticism, he tackled it head-on, using the opportunity to reflect on his personal journey and the progress his family has made.
He stated that while he may not be fluent, he has successfully provided his children with the best education and a life of privilege.
“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.
MC Oluomo emphasized that despite his lack of formal education, his hard work and perseverance have enabled him to give his children an elite lifestyle, including citizenship in countries like the United States and the United Kingdom.
“They should go and compete with my children. I raised my children in wealth.
“Kundus, kudos, what’s the difference? What do you want to hear? English is not my mother tongue, Yoruba is.” He declared.
