FCT, Abuja – Shem Obafiaye, the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) officer famous for the ‘Oga At The Top’ statement, has recently been promoted to deputy commandant-general. In a notable incident in 2013, Obafiaye, serving as the Lagos commandant of the NSCDC at the time, gained widespread attention when he struggled to provide the organization’s website during an appearance on the Channels Television breakfast show Sunrise Daily.
He said:
“The website is… excuse me… wait… it can only be made known by my Oga at the top.” “I cannot categorically tell you one now and my Oga at the top would give you another one.
” The famous phrase wiggled its way into Nigerian pop culture as it was seen in customised shirts and mentioned in comedy sketches, conversations, and even songs. Ten years after Obafiaye’s howler on national TV, he has been promoted by the federal government.
