"It's unfortunate, this article is coming in late. This is because I almost ignored the racket " My Oga at the top" generated. However, because of some salient lessons in the whole joke, I have decided to hit you with this.
Even though, my ways may be very different from yours, I still believe we must be objective in our analysis, judgment, and conclusion about others. The NSCDC Commandant, Mr. Shem's experience in the hands of Nigerians and the Channel TV personalities cannot be too different from what many of us face on a daily bases.
Some of us have been arbitrarily judged, smashed, squeezed, criticized, and battered for several years because we have failed to be who they want us to be. Different darts and missiles have been thrown at us because they chose to judge us from the first impression they conceived about us. What insult haven't we received?
They will try to judge you by the few words they hear from your mouth. When you use signs and symbols to communicate national issues, they misconstrue every bit of it as you are either tagged the head of Nigeria Illuminati, or they may even try to put your sexuality to question. However, we still love them, and still fight for them even when they don't really understand why we are here.
Some have not even realized the need to hold on to the reality that confronts them today, instead, they are committed to producing gunpowder for the celebration of individual blunder, and they swiftly push national blunder aside.
Yes, the NSCDC Commandant goofed, he failed to give the correct NSCDC website, he wanted his oga at the top to announce that personally, hence he couldn't go ahead to announce it, as his oga may end up announcing another one later.
At first, it appeared to me as if he didn't understand the question until he got to the point of providing the URL of the website, and then we all laughed when he was unable to provide the web address as demanded. We all laughed at his little or no IT knowledge, and not really because he is not competent enough to do his job. We all laughed because he had displayed some level of confidence right from the beginning of the interview till the point he was to give the website details.
However, is it enough to have made it a trending topic on twitter and on other social sites for days? I must say that we have all failed by pushing aside the lesson and the message of the controversial interview. If you don't know, the message is simple; there is a systemic failure. We have all failed our country.
We have even failed to channel our heavy online presence towards a more positive direction. We have failed to understand that the entire system has no structure as it stands now. If that is not the case, why were we not intelligent enough to see beyond Mr. Shem's failure and begin to reflect over leadership failure, using the social media platform? It has always remained this way, where only few of us can speak our minds in a country where mediocrity reigns supreme.
We have failed to see how mediocre now flood the civil service , but all we are now looking at ,is just Mr. Shem's blunder. Why???
Members of staff in several organizations know little or nothing about their organization. They can't even tell 'categorically' like Mr. Shem, whether they have an existing or functional website. How effective are various media units that are scattered across different Ministries in the country? NSCDC should even thank God that it was Mr. Shem who failed, and not their media unit, because such would have been possible.
I know that majority of Nigerians that work in the civil service are not up to date with the internet social world, as they believe in doing things the old way. You won't even blame Mr. Shem for not being able to give the correct web address or not being able to add dot.com, because the NSCDC Website, prior to the controversy was almost dormant. How would you expect one to know a website that doesn't exist or non-functional?
But my pain is simply that we have all failed to tackle the most pressing issues of the day, falling into the trap and deception of the phrase "My oga at the top". We have been so deceived and then became so careless about our safety, laughing hysterically; with our eyes gazed at "My Oga at the top" until the dreaded Boko Haram found a way to shoot us with their arrows. We laughed until we forgot that we have urgent national issues to address, and the faceless ones hit us hard again in the city of Kano. What a shame!
While we were busy gossiping, creating cartoons, producing T. Shirts, and cooking beats in the studio to ridicule just a single individual, we lost millions of naira at the Murtula Mohammed Airport, Lagos to some armed men who stormed the airport, harassing both Nigerians and foreigners. I heard they had a swell moment at the airport. You can't just imagine that armed robbers could succeed even in an International Airport. Where is safe then? "Yet, we were busy with My oga at the top"
While we took the joke to another level, the Boko Haram militants also saw our weaknesses and carefree attitude, and they hit us hard, killing well over 60 people in the Kano bomb attack. They beat all security apparatus in place in the volatile city, because, we refused to watch our back as we were laughing at " My Oga at the top"
In our usual carelessness, when some people were demanding for amnesty for some faceless people, we kept mummed, because we were only interested in "Oga at the top." We refused to ask questions on why some people should be advocating for this group.
As good, committed, and patriotic citizens, couldn't we have embarked on a campaign against violence using the social media platform for that purpose? How many of us are willing to laugh at some of the ogas in the North who have sold the future of our children in the name of leadership tussle? How many of us have been able to tell the Northern leaders that they have failed their people for giving some terrorists the supports they really do not deserve? Yet, we still talk about "My Oga at the top"
These are no time for such jokes as we have better and serious issues to address as Nigerian youth and children. Enough of this "My oga at the top" Stop the rubbish now! Let's ask them some questions on why we must continue to bury our ourselves.

Some things are very hard to fathom, yet they are real. This is just a vivid example. This black crocodile Hermès T-shirt,
almost entirely made from crocodile. reportedly costs $91,500, by my calculation in Naira, that's like N14m.
Over the months or few years, we have heard about designer bags ranging between £5,000- £50, 000. It sounds absurd but there are people out there who can afford, infact, pick them up effortlessly. That's what fashion makes people do!

SYNOPSIS OF AMERICANAH
As teenagers in Lagos, Ifemelu and Obinze fall in love. Their Nigeria is under military dictatorship, and people are fleeing the country if they can. The self-assured Ifemelu departs for America. There she suffers defeats and triumphs, finds and loses relationships, all the while feeling the weight of something she never thought of back home: race.
Obinze had hoped to join her, but post-9/11 America will not let him in, and he plunges into a dangerous, undocumented life in London. Thirteen years later, Obinze is a wealthy man in a newly democratic Nigeria, while Ifemelu has achieved success as a blogger. But after so long apart and so many changes, will they find the courage to meet again, face to face?

Read the statement
"Senator Mark did not visit Dubai for Tuface wedding rather he attended the 128th Inter parliamentary Union (IPU) conference currently holding in Quito, Ecuador.
He was also not represented at Mr. Idibia's wedding. It is also instructive to state that the President of the Senate, Senator Mark, did not make a car donation of any kind to Tuface before departing Nigeria for Ecuador neither did he purchase nor send any car to Dubai as a wedding gift for the musician or his wife.
Who made the donation on behalf of the President of the Senate?
It is therefore a puerile lie for anybody to state that Senator Mark bought a Ferrari car worth N47m for Tuface.
The allegation is wicked, ridiculous and irresponsible."

Reacting to the report that he criticized Drogba after he learnt of his return to Europe, (Galatasaray). Mourinho defended, "Drogba knows who I am and what I feel in my heart for him, but maybe people could think they were true,"
"It's impossible that I would talk bad about Drogba. There is no problem because he knows that the last thing I would do is to say anything negative about my relationship with him."

The most successful member of the Destinys' Child group revealed, "I've always liked H&M's focus on fun and affordable fashion. I really loved the concept we collaborated on to explore the different emotions of women represented by the four elements - fire, water, earth and wind. It was a beautiful shoot on a tropical island. It felt more like making a video than a commercial."

Osaze's tweets few days ago insinuated that his club is trying to ruin his career and right now, one can be sure he will be sold in the summer. Meanwhile his club has slammed him a £70,000 fine.
"The club is aware of comments made by Peter Odemwingie which will be dealt with internally." A statement from West Brom reads.
Excerpts from his tweets, "If they like they shouldn't even give me 10 mins to play. Threatening to ruin my career? Career I closed already last summer? No harm to me. Want to treat me like an average player. The abuse and praise I get is it average? So get some extra from me too."
It would be recalled that the 31-year old player poured out his mind on that platform when he was not chosen amongst the footballers to play at the AFCON tournament. Shortly after that, he made an
effort to transfer to Queens Park Rangers (QPR) during January's transfer deadline but was turned back at the gate and fined £75,000 for another outburst.
