obtaining under false pretence section 419 Section 419 of the Criminal Code provides that, when a person by any false pretence and with the intent to defraud obtains from another, anything capable of being stolen or induces any person to deliver to any person anything capable of being stolen In Nigeria, Criminal Code Section 419 states: “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.” https://nyccriminallawyer.com/fraud-charge/cross-border-fraud/419-fraud/ |

It's Ironic that it's a Criminal code that was established by a criminal and fraudster General Ibrahim Babangida (IBB) when he was military president (1985-1993). |

I think someone mentioned it having something to do with God's great promise in Phil. 4: 19 – But my God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory by Jesus Christ our Lord. |
