We celebrate Officer Shem Obafaiye on his well-deserved promotion as the Deputy Commander General of Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC).
Recall the NSCDC officer from Live TV, NSCDC Commandant Obafaiye Shem, who gained massive popularity due to his infamous ‘Oga at the top’ remark in an interview with Channels TV back in 2013? Well, the good news is that he has finally been elevated to the top as Deputy Commandant General (DCG) of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC).
This incident vividly exposed the digital gap within the Nigerian force system.
The catchphrase “My Oga at the Top” gained popularity, with people even printing T-shirts featuring the officer and the famous phrase, humorously pointing upwards. Those were indeed amusing times! My Oga at the top is a literal translation of ‘my Boss at the top’, but it is a metaphorical expression referring to the person who holds the highest position of power.
While the situation was comical, it shed light on the intrinsic need for the Nigerian force system to prioritize digital technological means in its operations.
We encourage him to embrace technology and incorporate it into NSCDC’s operations. This step could significantly enhance productivity and coherence within the organization.
I hope this journey down memory lane with Officer Shem Obafaiye tickled your golden minds. Keep exploring until you strike gold.
