The journey to this prestigious rank traces back to a memorable interview on Channels TV’s Sunrise Daily program, where Obafaiye, then serving as the Lagos State Commandant of the NSCDC, found himself at the epicentre of a nationwide buzz.
During the interview, when probed about the official NSCDC website, his unexpected response swiftly caught the attention of Nigerians. When asked to provide the website, Obafaiye stumbled, stating, “I cannot categorically tell you one now,” and further added, “My Oga at the top say is another one, and the one we are going to make use of will be made known by my Oga at the top.”
The amusing yet puzzling reply quickly gained traction across social media platforms, spawning countless memes and jokes.
However, beyond the viral sensation, Obafaiye’s dedication and service within the NSCDC evidently caught the attention of higher-ups.
Through his steadfast commitment and hard work, he has steadily risen through the ranks, culminating in his recent promotion to Deputy Commandant-General.
Meanwhile, the “My Oga at the Top” saga remains a memorable moment in Nigeria’s collective memory.
