http://obifromsouthlondon.blogspot.com/2005/11/419-state-of-mind-2.html has a music video for "i go chop your dollars", a boasting song about 419 scamming.

sample of the lyrics:

419 no be thief, it's just a game
Everybody dey play em
if anybody fall mugu,
ha! my brother I go chop em

Chorus:
National Airport na me get em
National Stadium na me build em
President na my sister brother
You be the mugu, I be the master

Oyinbo man I go chop your dollar,
I go take your money and disappear
419 is just a game, you are the loser I am the winner

This song is supposedly by a comic actor and is part of a film about a 419 scammer:

A mugu is a fool, usually the victim of a 419 scam. Oyinbo means a caucasian (the most common sort of mugu).

I knew mugu & oyinbo, but couldn't remember which was which until I got a little help from Babawilly's Dictionary of Pidgin English Words and Phrases (http://www.ngex.com/personalities/babawilly/dictionary/default.htm) (as spoken in Nigeria).
