Musiliu Ayinde Akinsanya, otherwise known as MC Oluomo, is the Chairman of the Lagos State chapter of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW). The 49 year old is also a nobleman who got the title ‘Oluomo’ from his mother’s people in Agedegbe, Abeokuta, after her death.<\/p>\n
The very influential trade union boss has since delved into politics. While he has divided opinions among Nigerians regarding his political affiliation and the role the union he oversees plays during elections, MC is known to be a good husband to his three wives and a great father to all of his kids. Time will tell what becomes of him, but MC Oluomo continues to fight to achieve his greater dream.<\/p>\n
Born in Agbo-Ile Atere in Oshodi, Lagos State, MC was born into the family of Baba Akinsanya and Alhaja Abebi Zinat Omotonwo on the 14th of March, 1975. He was born into a polygamous family. Following the death of his father when he was in primary three, his mother took over his education and upbringing. The death of his father at an early age, and his mother’s inability to continue training him in school after his primary school education, resulted in him becoming a school dropout.<\/p>\n
However, being a school dropout did not prevent MC Oluomo from achieving greater heights. From being a bus “agbero” conductor and driver, he maneuvered his way into the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) where his success story began.<\/p>\n
Most dropouts would not be able to achieve what he has achieved; he is just an exception. Because of his lack of education, Oluomo is often insulted by people. His reply to them is always, “Is it a crime to be uneducated?” What he lacked, he makes sure to give his children and makes sure they don’t get to suffer as he did.<\/p>\n
