419 Followers
Steemians from Nigeria will understand that 419 is not a number you want to see displayed on your wall. 419 is a name usually used to address someone who swindle others. It means someone who is fraudulent or criminal.
The 419 slang was gotten from section 419 of the Nigerian constitution. This part of the constitution addresses offences related to property and contracts.
Any person who by any false pretence, and with intent to defraud, obtains from any other person anything capable of being stolen, or induces any other person to deliver to any person anything capable of being stolen, is guilty of a felony, and is liable to imprisonment for three years.
If the thing is of the value of one thousand naira or upwards, he is liable to imprisonment for seven years.
It is immaterial that the thing is obtained or its delivery is induced through the medium of a contract induced by the false pretence.
The offender cannot be arrested without warrant unless found committing the offence.
You will usually see properties with such signs like this in my country. Property owners put up a signs to warn people that their properties are not for sale.
