The President of the National Union of Road Transport Workers, Musiliu Akinsanya, popularly known as MC Oluomo, has said his life experience and practical knowledge have given him more understanding than many university graduates despite not having a formal education.

According to Premium Times on Monday, MC Oluomo made the remarks on Sunday during the 50th birthday celebration of Islamic singer Hafsat Adegoke and the unveiling of her new album in Alausa, Lagos.

The event was attended by several dignitaries, including Fuji musician Saheed Osupa.

Reflecting on his early years, the transport union leader recounted how he started working as a bus conductor as a teenager, saying he earned enough to support his mother while still enjoying simple pleasures like going to the cinema.

According to him, his rise to the leadership of the transport union was the result of years of hard work and dedication.

“I’ve been spending money since I was 13 years old. I worked as a conductor from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. I would go to Danjuma Cinema to watch Indian movies with my own money, and I still took money home for my mother to buy food,” he said.

MC Oluomo said he did not become NURTW president by chance but worked his way through the ranks.

"I didn’t enter the NURTW as a bastard. I learnt the work, mastered it and got to where I am today. I didn’t go to school, but the knowledge and understanding I have in my head are greater than those held by people with degrees,” he said.

The NURTW president also pointed to the achievements of his children as evidence that although he lacked formal education, he placed a high value on educating his family.

He disclosed that his children have pursued professional careers abroad.

“I always tell people that if I am uneducated, glory be to God. Today, my children are a doctor, a lawyer and an engineer, and they are in America. May God not allow our children to die young,” he said.

MC Oluomo also reminisced about his relationship with Saheed Osupa, revealing that they had known each other since childhood.

He recalled eating meals in the home of Osupa’s late mother while growing up and said the Fuji singer was familiar with his humble beginnings.

Speaking further, he criticised fathers who neglect the welfare of their wives and children, describing such behaviour as unacceptable.

According to him, many Nigerian women have become the primary providers for their families despite being married.

“I have always said that any man who does not take care of his children is an enemy of God,” he said.

He lamented that many women now shoulder responsibilities such as paying school fees, rent, clothing and feeding their children because some husbands have abandoned their duties.

MC Oluomo also accused some men of prioritising children outside their marriages over their own families, warning that such actions would have consequences later in life.

Mr Mc education is very important. The key word is "than most".. Not all.
If you had said you were knowledgeable than all graduates, you would have said something important worth a focus.
So please take several seats.

Graduates determine your daily life and you can't change that.

And he's saying the truth because so many people working for him are graduates so how do you explain that huh

You are right Alhaji MC Oluomo. Your experience in transport management is top notch and many graduate in transport related courses will come to learn the practical work under your establishment.

Wonders shall never end…. ….. if not for those that use his likes as political tool

Yes more educated than APC and their supporters.

Well, there's truth to what he has said.

Between you and I, you know that most graduates are really bottom of the barrel when it comes to "knowledge" of their studied field - na graduate wey sleep/bribe their way through school we ean really call graduate?

Plus there are different forms of education, this man was schooled informally under the curriculum of life and the streets and he's made a name for himself.

I hope we're not equating "good English" that most graduates can't even speak - you see their types on NL here - zero punctuation skills - that you will say are better than the guy?

But first accept you are an illiterate

Qundus to him.. Baba Qundus

In killing, maiming, extortion and destruction, YES

In the voice of prophet Odumeje: "Are you a grajate"

I am more knowledgeable than most graduates.
Am more ruthless than most graduates.
There fixed that for you.

Yes, at least you know how to jaagba for garage and ballot box

He is right. It's one thing to be book-smart, its another to be streets-smart. He is street-smart and makes more than many book-smart folks and even supports many people that know him. I know several folks he supports.

This is mocking graduates. Olodo uprising on the increase

Jagaban army structures

Abeg make Transport university of Daura give am honorary Doctorate, concerning transport, agbero, thuggery and ballot snatching, this is the 001 of Nigeria.

Uprising chaiman..kundus for you

I am working for you doesn't make you more knowledgeable than me.
I am working for you because I have what you probably don't have. I can be wiser than my CEO

Education comes in different forms...!

You can only be more knowledgeable than others in areas you have spent more time studying and working in compared to them.

...And can we stop this idiocy of equating financial wealth with Literacy or Formal Education?!!

A m0ron can stumble upon sudden wealth or win a lottery... That doesn't automatically place him at the same level as a graduate.

Noted.

You're right, when a graduate with it's certificate is even working for you as PA.

I don't think you understand what most means.

We know MC ..na English majority if dem go read for school .
To solve problem and achieve na Grammer dem go speak

Of course yes, in beating , killings and forceful collections of ballot boxes

MC is not illiterate, he attended Ikeja Grammar School, 1995 set. Those living in Oshodi/Isolo can verify. That he didnt proceed with University/Poly doesn't make him illiterate. He can contest for Presidency if he wants - minimum requirement is SSCE and he has it.

imagine you an educated person supporting that tout from ogun state, alatenuje oshi, shame on you!!!

So?!! Does that make him more knowledgeable than they are?!!

If he is paying a programmer to work for him, does that make the programmer less knowledgeable, just because he is working for a less educated person?!!


How una take dey reason for this 3rd world nation sef?!!


Na wa o!

He is probably right about.

If he wasn't..... He wouldn't be where he is today... While graduates are out there forming itk.
..

You have been spending money when you were 13 years, whose money, the ones you extorted from innocent transporters? And you didn't tell us how many people you bullied, how many that kpai. So we should rejoice with you as a successful Agbero man because you guy's founder is on the top?

He is right. It is not easy to survive on the streets.
