Afam4eva: [size=13pt]I know Emeka Offor but i've never heard of Arthur Eze. Since these two men the last time i checked were not listed by forbes then there's really no way we can know who's richer. Not that forbes is even accurate sef but that should have helped.[/size]

naptu2: I believe that it is extremely important that we take our public officials to task anytime they do their job poorly. If we do not take them to task, they'll continue to do whatever they want because there are no consequences. Attempts to blame anybody else for the "my oga at the top" saga will not fly. The saga is a consequence of Mr Shem's actions and he should take responsibility for his actions (like a grown up).

Why do you think Alamieyeseigha was pardoned in such a brazen and outrageous way? It's because there is no consequence. If citizens complain, they'll simply appeal to sentiments and everybody will fall in line. This is why policemen can beat up and even kill citizens and get away with it. Politicians will rig elections and get away with it. Businessmen and politicians will loot the treasury and become heroes. Is that the type of Nigeria we want?

naptu2: You know, i think my theory is correct. In Nigeria, you can do whatever you want, you'll still have supporters, in fact, you could probably get away with it (scot free). All you need to do is appeal to sentiments.

Alamieyeseigha was only witchhunted by Obasanjo (never mind that he was caught redhanded by police in the UK). Is he the only governor in Nigeria? They should leave him alone! (Never mind that people are dying in Bayelsa because of lack of adequate healthcare)

Bode George did not do anything wrong. It was simply a plot by Tinubu. After all, he was tried under "Lagos State law". Leave him alone.

So what if Obafaiye Shem did not know the website address? What does it matter? Everybody makes mistakes. Leave him alone, he's got a wife and kids. (nevermind that people who have been tricked by scammers with fake NSCDC websites also have wives and kids).

So what if that man stole money? Don't people from other "tribes" steal money? Leave him alone and focus on people from other "tribes".

Why talk about that incompetent public official? So what if Nigerians suffer because of his incompetence? Don't you have other things to talk about?

Then we wonder why Nigeria is the way it is.

Smh

Th superior man: You just proved that nobody is above mistakes... but, I don't think yours was a mistake... It's raw Ignorance.

How the Bleep can you confuse his competence in work with his knowledge about technology? or his lack of ability to calm down and think straight on a goddanm TV? That's fallacious (google it cuz you wouldn't know what it means either)

You too are just spittin' useless grammer in the midst of illogical sentences. You should have your own nick name too... So shut da Bleep up

No woman or wife came to Channels Tv as reported by News Blogs in respect of the trending 'Oga on top' debacle.

Fake journalists around, careful what you believe...tell the news and never be the news.

As the Producer I take full responsibility. It's on employment racketeering so we must have a genuine website to stop further exploitation

phineas: Naptu where do you get your resources? May ur ink never run dry.

To the matter @ hand,its no longer about the comandant,really,its simply passive aggresion on the part of the Nigerian youths to the high handedness of the prior generation.Its anger @ failed governance,stolen opportunities,broken dreams,unmet expectations,inapproriate bullying by....let's say the powers that be.

Have you ever lost a position,a contract,a bidding,an idea,an opportunity because of frustrations from the "powers from above" now known as "the oga @ the top"

Someone articulated this unspoken truth in the system,(maybe unintentionally) and every Nigerian youth recognized it,identified with it,and displayed their anger,passive aggression @ the oppression styled in humour.its more than a failure to remember a site,its about the culture of hubris,that in Nigeria there's a glass ceiling,always there by an Oga @ the top and that is what the people rebel @,not rejoice @,its passive aggresive,and its unfortunate the comandant became the mascot for it.

In Pr when an error has occurred,the first thing is to admit the mistake,explain how it came about,explain what has been done to correct it,and explain further what steps are been taken to ensure it does not occur again in future.I think the org should focus on doing that on the job racket scandal,it will be nice if they used the comandant again,with or without a PR person this time while he answers questions on operational issues.That may redeem his Image.

But on this oga @ the top matter,sadly it exists,and in acknowledging it publicly by all,has come to stay.

Dr Know: Let's create a forum where gaffes made by bungling officials should be posted. Seun, our oga at the top should think seriously about this.

Mustay: One, I saw the interview - I watched the mannerisms of all participants.

Two, I don't think the Channels crew set out with the interview in order to achieve fame - c'mon, it's something they do every weekday.

Three, I listen to and watch Nigerian government stations - this means I've heard a lot of government representatives speak. Sometimes, even an Oga sends someone else to represent him e.g. Min of works on Ray Power's Political Platform and they do well.

Four, if those criticising the Channels crew are honest, did they really watch the stuff or they just want to be different from the crowd for difference sake? I personally do not tolerate slack, moreso from someone who is being paid via taxes of citizens.

Five, that people are trying to turn the table on the presenters shows the bane of Nigeria's problem - sentiments! Mediocrity is mediocrity, it has no other name. Someone brought up an excuse of not everyone knowing all but in the context of recent happenings, the authentic website of NSCDC was something he ought to have known - he is a public officer and the presenters demanded something called PUBLIC ACCOUNTABILITY. It's just like IGP saying he'll fish out the BH guys and when they ask him where they are located, he says it's Uganda. Mehn, the man showed what square pegs can do in round holes. It clearly showed that he really didn't have a good idea of what 'scammers' were costing Nigeria via fake NSCDC sites.

Six, I don't get it - if we are telling generation "Y" to get their acts together, cutting this man a slack would never get us anywhere - that's why we all can't bw leaders. To get to the top, you must merit it. The way Mr. SHEM argued with the presenters emphasizes the point why one should not go to news stands to be 'arguing' with every Tomiwa, Dickson and Haruna who speak without facts but imaginative 'gragra'. The presenters had this "shocking" expression on their faces when he kept on ranting.

Seven, there is a moral lesson here - lies could make a mess out of you. There are better ways of not lying and maintaining your integrity. His insistence makes me remember that we all learn everyday. Don't ever feel to big to learn something new.

The fallout of his "biggy biggy" which most ogas at the top do is what has made him the butt of jokes - his performance made the comedy, the presenters were just like "wakapass". Nigerians have been treated with terrible acts of leadership in recent times - if they chose to laugh at this one, it's their choice as (tax-paying) citizens to do so.

POLICE CAP: For goodness sake, why will all of you here be looking for an excuse for offensive ignorance..

"My oga at the top" went for an interview to clear the air for job seekers who have been duped as a result of look-alike websites.

So tell me, if you were in his shoes, how do you intend clearing the air if you don't know the original website.

Don't come here and garnish ignorance to me me feel guilty for castigation "my oga at the top"
