Obafaiye Shem,”My Oga at the Top” suspended from office

--> By Nnamdi Ojiego

Unconfirmed report reaching us says that the Lagos State Commandant of the National Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC, Mr. Obafaiye Shem, the man who postulated the “my oga at the top” mantra has been suspended from office by the Ministry of Interior.

As at the time of filing this report, no reason was given for Shem’s suspension as no official of the Ministry agreed to speak to our reporter. However, we gathered that it may not be unconnected with the embarrassing interview the commandant granted Channels Television early this week.

Mr. Obafaiye ordeal started when he appeared on Channels Television morning programme ‘Sunrise’ and when asked the NSCDC website he said:

“Hmmm, the website is, excuse me, my Oga at the top knows the website”, he again, cleared his throat and said: “My Oga at the top is working on the website and I don’t have them”.

When the presenters insisted that he give a functioning website address of the para-military, he dropped the bombshell: “ww.nscdc, that’s all”.

Immediately, the interview went viral and has become so popular to the extent that t-shirts with “my oga at the top” insignia has been produced and selling like hot cake across the country. Some DJ’s and musicians have done what they called remix of the interview.

So what do you think? Do you support the suspension of Mr Shem? If yes, why? If no, why not?
