Christian Nigerians would present very little threat. Are you suggesting we restrict them coming, too?

[Old_Geezer]

It's time we put a halt on anyone coming save those with a legitimate reason. We're already too full. But I suspect May's "Brexit" might be to encourage folk to leave when she's sealed the nation's fate trapping us in the EU. Bit of a drastic strategy though, try to reduce population issues by ruining the nation and watching many "abandon ship".

Too late, too many already here. HMS GreatBritain, sinking with all hands. Aristocracy, politicians and super rich first. Leave the plebs.....

AOG, can't see anything in your link about increasing numbers of Nigerians coming here.

[emmie]

just how do we do that?

[Rockrose]

This newspaper article is nothing to do with immigration from Nigeria, can you please provide a link that is relevant to your headline?

[anotheoldgit]

dannyk13

It doesn't have to, just read various reports also immigration figures.

[dannyk13]

Then why post that link instead of one that is relevant to your OP.

What are you on about? the link is about the increase threat of terrorism from Nigerian IS, I am just asking if we should now curb them entering the UK.

Wow!!! some are so slow on the uptake.

[dannyk13]

AOG, can you post a link that shows an increase in Nigerians entering the country?

[Rockrose]

Yes some are AOG, I mean who would be daft enough to post a headline about increasing immigration from Nigeria but not post any evidence to back himself up?

[Baldric]

How unusual, the DM Link seems to have very little connection to the Thread Title.

AL. This link is about grants of settlement.Can't find anything about numbers entering the UK.

[naomi24]

Numbers over the past three years are higher than they’ve been in the past …

… but I don’t believe that’s really relevant. If immigration from a particular nation presents a potential threat to the security of this country, stop accepting people from that country. It's not rocket science.

[dannyk13]

So the number of Nigerian immigrants has actually dropped since 2015.

[naomi24]

It's been about the same for the past three years, danny.

[Rockrose]

So I wonder where AOG got his information from?

[dannyk13]

Near enough Naomi but it has dropped fractionally, in contrast to what AOG is saying.
