How to be a Nigerian by Peter Enhaoro
Comes from a famous little book, which is one of the funniest to come out of Africa. First published in 1996, it continues to be in demand. The Nigerian author turns a humorous and ironic eye on his fellow compatriots. The book is descibed as a guide for Nigerians and expatriates on the conduct, deportment, comportment, bearing, deameanour, mien, carriage, actions, the misdoings, misconduct and misbehaviours of the Nigerian adult male and female. Sprinkled with anecdotes and cartoons, the book addresses the Nigerian essence.

How to be a Nigerian is one of the more enduring challenges of our lives. The phrase raises questions about identity and national culture; it is about the interconnection between state and society. It is invariably also about survival. How truly can one be a Nigerian? To be a true Nigerian is to develop a sense of home and a feeling of belonging. But if a man is not a Nigerian at heart, does that make him a non-citizen?. If a citizen is not a Nigerian, in the sense of our intended construction, does that indicate a disconnect with the immediate environment? How to be a Nigerian is an important consideration because we live anyway, in rather challenging circumstances, which require greater creativity than may be needed elsewhere.

I Go Chop Your Dollars
October 21st, 2005
Did you know there is a Nigerian top hit named I Go Chop Your Dollar? It's hugely popular in Lagos, and hit the Lagos radio stations a few months ago as a CD penned by an artist called Osofia (his real name might or might not be Nkem Owoh.
It's as catchy as Nigerian music can be, and since it carries a message that thousands of young Nigerians seem to be able to relate to, it has become a huge hit in Lagos.
Here are the complete lyrics:
I Go Chop Your Dollar
I don suffer no be small
Upon say I get sense
Poverty no good at all, no
Na im make I join this business
419 no be thief, its just a game
Everybody dey play am
if anybody fall mugu, ha! my brother I go chop am
Chorus
National Airport na me get am
National Stadium na me build am
President na my sister brother
You be the mugu, I be the master
Oyinbo I go chop your dollar, I go take your money dissapear
419 is just a game, you are the loser I am the winner
The refinery na me get am,
The contract, na you I go give am
But you go pay me small money make I bring am
you be the mugu, I be the master... na me be the master ooo!!!!
When Oyinbo play wayo, them go say na new style
When country man do im own, them go de shout bring am, kill am, die!
Oyinbo people greedy, I say them greedy

I dey show them fire
