Effect Of Brexit On Foreigners (so Includes Nigerians) by meavox: 8:55am On Feb 02, 2020
Here's the majority British view about what they want for themselves in their OWN country.

If you still want to BOAST that you are living in Oyeebo country ok, but they don't want you there and one day will kick you and your pikin out of their country.... Like our own "Ghana must go".

FIX Naija! FIX Naija is best solution. We Restructure it. Or we Split it. Ok. But let's fix Naija, our home.

Sorry dude, but you really are showing a bit of ignorance here by thinking this is the "majority British view". I'd suggest you ask those who live there but even the article you referenced shows this is a minority view that is not tolerated, and in fact should not be tolerated in Nigeria neither as people with such attitudes do not fix anywhere but just destroy wherever they are!

I've taken the bother to reproduce the full article below so you fail in promoting the sort of divisive hatred that is destroying Nigeria and which the majority in UK are against. Eagle eyes would note the (sic) to denote that the ignorant person who wrote this can't speak nor write Queen's English theirself and ought to be deported by their own ignorant inability.

Police called in after poster tells residents of flats to speak English

‘Happy Brexit Day’ sign in Norwich block said foreign tongues would not be tolerated

A poster telling residents of a block of flats “we do not tolerate” people speaking languages other than English in the building has been reported to police.

The typewritten poster, bearing the title “Happy Brexit Day”, was reportedly found stuck to fire doors in Winchester Tower in Norwich on Friday morning. The discovery came hours before the UK officially left the European Union at 11pm later that day.

A photo of the poster shared in news reports and on social media revealed that it declared: “We finally have our great country back.”

Addressing Winchester Tower residents, it said the “Queens (sic) English is the spoken tongue here” and suggests that people wanting to speak a language other than English should leave the country.

Writing on Twitter on Saturday, Norwich city council said: “You may have seen a photo of a poster that has appeared in one of our properties.

“Norwich has a proud history of being a welcoming city, and we will not tolerate this behaviour. As soon as we became aware of this incident, we reported it to Norfolk police and they are investigating.

“We take this very seriously and encourage residents to contact us or the police if they have any concerns.”

According to the BBC, which spoke to a resident, the signs were left on fire doors across all 15 floors of the block of flats before being removed by the caretaker.

Mike Stonard, a cabinet member on Norwich city council, told the Eastern Daily Press: “I absolutely condemn this abhorrent poster. Whoever put it there has committed a hate crime, it is as simple as that.

“Many people voted for Brexit for a range of different reasons, however I am sure not many of them will condone this kind of thing.”

Norfolk police have been contacted for comment.

We won’t let Brexit come between us…
