Lagos transport chief Musiliu Akinsanya, widely known as MC Oluomo, has hit back at online critics who mocked his recent English blunder, saying his success should speak louder than his grammar.
A video of MC Oluomo went viral after he mispronounced “kudos” as “Kundus” during a recent public address, drawing mockery across social media platforms.
But the Lagos State Parks and Garages boss, rather than apologise, clapped back with a message that prioritised legacy over language.
“I stayed there and worked hard, but I wasn’t educated. See, they said I said Kundus, is Kundus not my son? You are educated; what have you done? They should go and compete with my children, he said in a video seen by First News on Tuesday, April 22.

“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,” he said.
The former bus conductor turned transport union boss used the moment to underscore his rise from humble beginnings and his achievements despite lacking formal education.
He said the focus should not be on his grammar but on how far he has come and the future he’s built for his family through hard work and persistence.
