Nkem Owoh's "I Go Chop Your Dollar"
As this site complains (along with the next link), the video does nothing to raise confidence in Nigeria. The song is popular in Cameroon, and is apparently based on a tract authored by Nkem Owoh.
UPDATE (December 10, 2009): Nkem Owoh was recently kidnapped while driving down the highway in eastern Nigeria, and the original ransom was 15 million naira ($99,000), but allegedly reduced to 1.4 million naira and his car. (Source: "Go for the locals," The Economist, November 28-December 4, 2009, p. 56.)

"I go chop your dollar" does have a nice ring to it. You have to admit.

After reading the lyrics I guess I was expecting something more gangsta-rappish. Instead it's a happy-go-lucky African pop tune. You almost don't mind that he's gonna chop your dollar.
