The President, National Union of Road Transport Workers, Musiliu Akinsanya, popularly known as MC Oluomo, has defended his ‘kundusi’ comment amidst the growing mockery among Nigerians.

Akinsanya made the defence while speaking with the delegates of the union in a viral video on Tuesday.

According to him, he is uneducated and could probably be bad at expressing himself in the English language, but he trained his children well, and they are now citizens of the United States of America and the United Kingdom.

Recall that the union leader recently erroneously mispronounced kudos as “kundusi” while commending the good works of the union members in the Federal Capital Territory.

Following this, Akinsanya noted that rather than going to school, he ventured into the transport sector, where he started as a bus conductor.

“If you and my children come out to express yourself, I’m not sure you can beat them, they are highly educated. I trained my children properly with money. My children are citizens of America and the United Kingdom. I worked hard to get there.

“‘Kundusi!’ What happened? Grammars are too much. Grammar won’t finish Nigeria, I might not understand the English language, but I understand Yoruba,” he said

The union leader also relished his beginning, 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 defense 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 lout 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.”

Lol, it’s obviously a life of luck and opportunities.
Being a thug does not exempt him from enjoying his own luck and opportunity in life. . Just keep on praying for yours.

I love how he responded though everything is not about English, its all about doing what seems right as we can see how many Chinese can speak English but they're using their language to teach in Schools for easy understanding.
