The Security and Civil Defence Corps officer who became popular with the ‘my oga at the top’ mantra, Shem Obafaiye, has been decorated with a new rank of deputy commandant general.
Before his decoration, the corps also promoted two officers on Wednesday.
Sharing the photos of Mr Obafaiye and two other officers, the Ministry of Interior, in a tweet said, “As the chairman of the Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board (CDCFIB), the minister, @BTOofficial, decorated the three new deputy commandants general of the @official_NSCDC today.”
The ‘my oga at the top’ mantra became popular about a decade ago when Obafaiye was attempting questions on Channels TV.
Recall that when Obafaiye was asked about the website of the NSCDC, 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”.
The phrase went viral and became a major slogan in Nigerian social media space.
