I travel around the world. I am a citizen of America,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">MC Oluomo further spoke about his children\u2019s educational and professional achievements in the United States, noting that they were more proficient in English than he was.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMy children can speak better than me. My children in the US are nurses, a doctor and an engineer,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He explained that he sometimes handed the microphone to his children to speak on his behalf whenever he struggled to express himself in English.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The disclosure comes amid previous public criticism of his spoken English, particularly in April 2025, when a video of him pronouncing the word \u201ckudos\u201d as \u201ckundusi\u201d while addressing union members in Abuja went viral.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Responding to the criticism at the time, MC Oluomo acknowledged his limitations in the English language but maintained that fluency in the language did not determine one\u2019s achievements.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cGrammar won\u2019t finish Nigeria. I might not understand the English language, but I understand Yoruba,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He also challenged his critics to compare their achievements with those of his children, whom he described as highly educated and citizens of the United States and the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanguardngr.com\/2026\/11\/i-now-take-english-classes-to-speak-fluently-mc-oluomo\/\">I now take English classes to speak fluently \u2013 MC Oluomo<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanguardngr.com\/\">Vanguard News<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Source: <\/p>\n<div class=\"nSourse\">Vanguard News<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The President of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), Musiliu Akinsanya, popularly known as MC Oluomo, has disclosed that he is taking English lessons to improve his spoken&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":9917,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9916","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/globalnigerianews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9916","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/globalnigerianews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/globalnigerianews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/globalnigerianews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/globalnigerianews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9916"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/globalnigerianews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9916\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/globalnigerianews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9917"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/globalnigerianews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9916"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/globalnigerianews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9916"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/globalnigerianews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9916"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
