Seriously. The Nigerian Government are warning it's citizens of fraudsters in the UK.

So next time you get a scam e-mail. Don't get angry. Think of all the poor Nigerians that have been subject to fraud in our country.

Although the real irony there is that the song had nothing to do with irony, as she later admitted in an interview.

Some of them have been pursuaded to send money too. The extent to which they allow themselves to be strung along is quite incredible. Even when they get suspicious they often continue, blinded by greed.
