Ok .. I am from Nigeria .. The song is funny and the guy is a comedian. The song was actually banned in Nigeria but thanks to the internet banning it had no effect .

You know 419 was a local scam for decades . i.e a lot of Nigerians in Nigeria were getting scammed by other Nigerians and then here came the internet a better way of doing business - well you know the rest .

hahahah yea dude, thats terribly true. lol

Are any specific ethnic groups within Nigeria known for being involved in 419 scams?

No nigerian will reply to a comment like that. If you have something against another ethnic group, you keep it to yourself. Even on the internet. We live in peace because we accept differences.

It’s a commonly misunderstood song. It’s actually the soundtrack to a movie. The singer plays the main protagonist and finally ends up in jail for his dubious scams. So the movie has anti 419 scam sentiments. In the song the singer is in character and he’s showing how scammers are able to justify their involvement in 419 scams. It’s not necessarily condoning 419 scams.

Yeah it would be funny.
Except for the fact that some people have been duped into actually going to Nigeria - where they have been attacked by these gangs.

Unfortunately some have even disappeared.

More should be done to crackdown on this.
Many people seem to view it as a legitimate business, and corruption means that the authorities turn a blind eye to it.

Here si the full mp3. Love it!

Here is the real 419 Scammer Anthem:

“Yahooze”. From the term “Yahoo boys” - many young Nigerians who join chat rooms & entice foreigners into sending money via Yahoo messenger.

(the one u posted above isn’t 0.1 times as popular as this one in Nigeria)

It’s a more modern video with Hummers and Chryslers, which really is what many scammers in Nigeria drive. Some drinks & girls too.

I second this. I go chop your dollar is a comedy song sang tongue in cheek. Yahoozee is a straightforward taunt. If there is any song that 419 would listen to it would be yahoozee and certainly not this old school chop your dollar sang. I mean, I seriously doubt that guy knows how to use a PC…

It’s an insult to say ‘the intensity with which Nigeria goes after morons and their money is incredible’.

Nigeria is a country of over 150 million people, and it might surprise an ignorant American like you, but not all of them are fraudsters. Nigeria doesn’t go after morons. Fraudsters go after morons. And last I heard, no country has a monopoly on fraudsters. Ken Lay was an American.

I happen to be one of those non-Nigerian fraudsters, and feel offended that you imply that the whole country is involved in this nefarious activity.

Your comment is as imbecile as assuming all Americans are…well, take your pick: warmongering, racist, gun-toting, Bible-bashing, pedophile, death-penalty loving, gay-hating, obese, drug-using, trailerpark-living, no-passport inbred morons who know nothing about the rest of the world.

Nigerian (Who am I?)
