In a recent interview with Channels TV, The Lagos State Commandant of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corp (NSCDC), Obafaiye Shem embarrazzed himself on live TV as he struggled to give a reply to the question; what’s the website of the NSCDC?
Shem said he would have to ask “his oga at the top” but after persuasion from the presenters he gave a shabby website address that shocked the country. “It’swww.nscdc, that’s it,” he said.
Commandant: the website of nscdc….yes we (inaudible)……the….I cannot categorically tell you one now because the one that we’re….
Anchor1 interrupts
Anchor1: do you have multiple websites???
Commandant: wait, wait..the one that we are going to make use of, I’m not the one that is going to create it.
Anchor1: …..see the question is what is your website?
Commandant interrupts
Commandant: waaaaaaaait………
Anchor1: ok
Commandant: the one that we are going to make use of is going to be made known by my oga at the top….yes….I can’t announce one now and the oga says it’s another one that we are going to use…..

Nigerian youths have taken to social media platforms like twitter using the hashtag; #myogaatthetop to create a whole new concept.
Even went as far as making “My Oga At The Top” T-Shirts to mock the Nscdc boss
Read some hilarious tweets:
