Most people wonder what brought about the name MC Oluomo for the popular NURTW Chairman Musiliu Ayinde Akinsanya.
BlackBoxNigeria gathered that he was awarded the name by the Obas of Agedegbe family, in Abeokuta, Ogun State.
According to him, “The name MC that people call me started from when I was in school. It was one big woman who named me MC when I was young. She is now in Canada. She is a Mama Alaye. Then, when we were young we used to play a game called Game and Watch. My name is Musiliu but she turned it into MC. We used to move from school to school challenging ourselves so she would tell people to go meet that MC Boy. That was how the alias stuck”.
MC Oluomo was born in the Agbo-Ile Atere area of Oshodi, Lagos State but his father was originally from Ejigbo. MC Oluomo’s father was one of the people that developed the area.
MC Oluomo’s late mother Alhaja Abebi Zinat Omotonwo was from the Agedegbe family in Abeokuta.
The Obas of the area later decided to honour her son with the “Oluomo” title.
MC Oluomo’s mother Alhaja Zinat Omotonwo died in April 2020 at the age of 87.
