Nigerian Government officials keep getting a bad rap as corrupt people who lay around in offices all day and don’t get anything done.
We strongly disagree. These criticisms are unfair and biased in the most extreme ways.
The truth is there are certain questions one cannot just expect a Nigerian public official to know the answer to.
Don’t ask them how many stars there are in the universe, that would be too much. Don’t ask them how to bring about world peace in a day, because that would just be unfair.
And don’t ask them what their organisations’ website addresses are, because really, what would they be doing with that information?
The Lagos State Commandant of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corp (NSCDC) Obafaiye Shem has said that he has never visited his organisation’s website.
Speaking as a guest on Channels Television’s breakfast programme, Sunrise Daily, Mr Shem said the website opened by impostors to defraud unsuspecting job seekers would be automatically closed.
Asked to mention the NSCDC’s web address, Mr Shem said “I cannot categorically tell you one now.” Probed further to name the organisation’s website, the commandant said the address is: www.nscdc.
A Channels Television’s reporter checked the web address and noticed that it was incorrect. Further search on the internet showed that the correct web address for the Civil Defence Corp is www.nscdc.gov.ng

It’s kind of funny.
But it’s also mostly sad.
