Alhaji Musiliu Ayinde Akinsanya, widely known as MC Oluomo and president of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), has ignited widespread online discussion after a video emerged showing him bowing publicly to Fuji music legend Saheed Osupa. In the footage, which surfaced on Monday, July 13, 2026, MC Oluomo explains the deep personal reasons behind the gesture, revealing a childhood bond that many found surprising.
MC Oluomo Explains Why He Bowed to Saheed Osupa
In the video, MC Oluomo recounts that Osupa was visibly taken aback by the bow and asked why he would do such a thing. The transport union president then clarified that Osupa is older than him, contradicting assumptions that they are age mates. More importantly, he painted a vivid picture of a relationship stretching back decades. According to MC Oluomo, the two grew up on the same street, and Osupa's late mother ran a food shop where she would regularly serve him tuwo, a traditional Nigerian dish, when he was a young boy.
“He knows everything about me while I was growing up,” MC Oluomo stated. “It was his late mother who fed me with Tuwo while I was growing up; we lived on the same street.” This revelation underscores a bond of gratitude and respect that goes far beyond a casual acquaintance.
Netizens React to the Childhood Tie Revelation
The video drew a wide range of reactions online, with many expressing surprise given MC Oluomo's well-known public association with another Fuji star, Pasuma, as a supporter and fan. Some questioned the claim, while others reminisced about Osupa's music catalogue.
One user, MDAfrica95, commented: “Wow..then how did MC Oluomo now become Pasuma top fan instead of Osupa lol omo life deep gan.” Another user, Kingofbreast23, disputed the account: “Mc OLUOMO don lie. Saheed osupa grow up far away from where MC come from o. Osupa na safejo boy. When I small him dey come buy coconut for my mum side.”
Akins698 recalled Osupa's music: “Who remembers this osupa song that goes, Sheri oremeji kan ni gba kan won dijo wa won paeja ikan malowoe de ikeji owoe de.........” StephenE62968 offered a more analytical take: “Shared history explains familiarity, not necessarily today's relationship. People often overlook that distinction.”

A video circulated showing Baba Ijesha appearing relaxed and unbothered by public scrutiny surrounding his continued closeness with the powerful transport union boss. Rather than shy away from the association, he leaned into it, making it clear that their friendship is longstanding and immune to outside opinions.
