‘Kundus’: ‘What have you done with your education?’ MC Oluomo fires back at critics

The President of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), Musiliu Akinsanya, popularly known as MC Oluomo, has responded to those mocking his spoken English.

MC Oluomo recently became a trending topic on social media after a video surfaced in which he mispronounced the word kudos as kundus while addressing supporters and colleagues in Abuja. 

He was expressing appreciation when the slip occurred, prompting widespread ridicule online.

In a new video response, MC Oluomo questioned the achievements of his critics, despite their formal education. 

He challenged them to compare their children’s accomplishments with those of his own, noting that all his children are well educated and hold citizenship in both the United States and the United Kingdom.

He credited his success in the transport industry to perseverance, recalling how he started out as a bus conductor and rose through the ranks to become the NURTW President.

Speaking in Yoruba, he said: “I stayed there and worked hard, I was not educated. See, they said I said Kundus. Is my son not Kundus? You are educated; what have you done with your education? Let their children and my children come out and compete in English.

“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.”
