I have watched this musical video previously and each time I do so, it kinda makes some sense. It tells a story, using the Nigerian language, about 419 in Nigeria and how it is a growing phenomenon in our community. I go chop your dollar by Nkem Owoh aka Osuofia describes the framework on how 419(Advance Fee Fraud) works and how people use it to make millions from fraud victims around the world. 419 is becoming more and more a Nigerian word which means financial fraud with the victim called the mugu and the form in which it's done called the Maga. Nkem Owoh begins his song like this:
Even for an offence like giving a business associate a bounced cheque could land you in prison and so people are urged to think twice before defrauding anyone, whether Nigerian or International

"I don suffer no be smallIt's quite a funny video and I would say it just gives an insight about how 419ers operate and feel about their game. It is a nice educative song and should not necessarily be seen as promoting fraud among youths or politicians. The EFCC is already trying hard in fighting hthe 419 phenomenon with renown names of former fraudsters already convicted for fraud. Now, the fear of the EFCC is seen as the beginning of wisdom if you are about to do business with anyone whether it's online or offline because a single petition by a victim can land you in EFCC's hot soup.
Upon say I get sense
Poverty no good at all
Na im make I join this business
419 no be thief
It's just a game
Everybody dey play am
If anybody fall mugu
Ha, my brother, I go chop am
National airport na me get am
National stadium na me build am
President na my sister brother
U be the mugu
I be the masterOyibo man, I go chop your dollar
I go take your money dissappear
419 is just a game
You are a loser
I am a winner.."

Osuofia has always been a social critic. Here he aptly exposes d ugly phenomenon of advanced free fraud. But let the innocents not learn from there.
