Brexit, See The Exact Time and Date UK Is To Leave The EU by Barondenigeria: 3:42am On Dec 19, 2018
Few months ago, England voted for Brexit, by 53.4% to 46.6%. Wales also voted for Brexit, with Leave getting 52.5% of the vote and Remain 47.5%. Scotland and Northern Ireland both backed staying in the EU. Scotland backed Remain by 62% to 38%, while 55.8% in Northern Ireland voted Remain and 44.2% Leave.

Away from statistics, for the UK to actually leave the EU it had to invoke Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty which gives the two sides two years to agree the terms of the split. Theresa May triggered this process on 29 March, 2017, meaning the UK is scheduled to leave at 11pm UK time on Friday, 29 March 2019.

However, A European court has ruled that the UK can decide to stop the process. Alternatively it can be extended if all 28 EU members agree, but at the moment all sides are focusing on that date as being the key one, and Theresa May has put it into British law.

The UK is due to leave the European Union on 29 March, 2019 – it’s the law, regardless of whether there is a deal with the EU or not, the BBC reported earlier. Stopping Brexit would require a change in the law in the UK. The European Court of Justice ruled on 10 December 2018 that the UK could cancel the Article 50 Brexit process without the permission of the other 27 EU members, and remain a member of the EU on its existing terms, provided the decision followed a “democratic process”.

Prime Minister Theresa May has warned Conservative MPs thinking of voting against the deal she has reached with the EU that they risk “no Brexit at all”. This is a reference to another referendum, which is backed by the SNP, Lib Dems, Plaid Cymru the Green Party, a small number of Conservatives and larger group of Labour MPs, who want the public to be given the final say, with the option to remain in the EU. They are trying to get the Labour leadership to back them – but party leader Jeremy Corbyn wants to try and force a general election first.

Let's bring it down to the Nigerian context;

UK = Southeast Nigeria
EU = Federal Government of Nigeria

1. The EU leaders would have deployed military men to the UK borders with guns in their hands, killing everyone trying to break out of the EU.

2. The EU leaders will be screaming the unity of the EU is not negotiable

3. The UK will be divided and polarized under the strong EU control


I hope Nigerians will learn sense someday and realize that being together is not by force.
