There are no real benefits for the UK's leaving the EU, because generally the UK gave up the benefits of a huge free trade area for less than it already had. It was an emotional move, not an economic one.
As for any disadvantages, if you have no business with the Continent and as you have just arrived, you will not notice anything, there will possibly be some price rises here and there to absorb the consequences of all those border checks, most disadvantages will take time to show, but there are no advantages whatsoever.

If, as expected, EU citizens continue to leave the UK for other EU countries, as a fallout of Brexit, then it is logical to expect more UK job opportunities, according to the forces of demand and supply.

Another advantage for non-EU citizens in the UK, who until now have been treated unequally as EU citizens (due to EU laws) is that every non-UK citizen will now be equal (at least on paper). Whereas prior to now it was UK/EU citizens ahead of all others, now it will be only UK citizens before all others (i.e. Nigerians and EU citizens will now be seen as equal under UK laws, unlike before).

Already, the 2-year post-study work visa is a huge advantage of Brexit, for the millions of non-EU students that will benefit from it. Ditto for the new tiered immigration system that’s about to commence in January 2021.

Those could be considered advantages, from a non-EU immigrant point of view, as it is expected that there will now be a level playing ground for all immigrants, regardless of nationality, and EU citizens will no longer be legally prioritised over other non-EU nationals. Effectively, Nigerians would now be second class residents (only below UK nationals), rather than third class residents (below both UK and EU nationals).

Lol, alas, that will never happen.
Skin colour will always continue to matter, make no mistake about that.

Only that from January 1, 2021, that would be a crime - unlike now - with appropriate claims for damages, for good measure!

Pray tell, how would the skin colour of EU citizens entitle them to pay Home/EU fee in UK universities? Or lawfully grant them access to public funds (in some instances)? Or bestow upon them the right to live and work in the UK without a residence or work permit? All of which they have today - and give them an edge over their non-EU counterparts- but will stop from 01/01/21.

Ah, I didn’t think so either! Unless, being an HR practitioner, perhaps you know something the rest of us don’t, like you’ve been trained to pay particular attention to skin colour of candidates during recruitment, and you should prioritise a certain colour over others, no matter their competence and qualifications?

E don dey happen... I guess they too will start paying IHS now (or what’s that surcharge my brothers and sisters used to complain about on here in the past)? Or has that been cancelled for everyone now?

My point is, everyone is about to be treated equally, at least on paper. No more EU privileges over my dear countrymen/women.

I don't know if this is the right thread to do this but I'm typing this with teary eyes. My cousin's husband absconded to the UK with thier 3kids leaving her in Nigeria. They've been having some marital issues in their 11years marriage.

Pls what can she do? Is there any authority in the UK she contact? Can she report to the UK Embassy in Nigeria? Pls help she's almost running mad

How long was this?

I’ve literally been begging everyone I know in Nigeria (skilled professionals, of course!) to make relocating to the UK their priority in 2021. It’s high time they gave cold and snowy Canada a break and give UK a chance. Opportunities here would be massive in 2021, from PSWV to HSMP.

I predict a massive brain drain and mass exodus of EU professionals, which would lead to opportunities for suitably qualified non-EU citizens, including high flying Nigerians.

Well before PSW was taken away , UK too was not easy ooo. To get a job that makes you stay after PSW. Many people were forced to go home

So UK is not a magic wand either

They were not competing on a level playing ground then, as EU citizens were prioritised alongside UK citizens. Not anymore!

Besides, 3 years should be enough to plan and execute, all things being equal. It’s certainly better today (2021) than those pre-Theresa May’s days as Home Secretary!

There’s no magic wand anywhere, and those challenges abound everywhere for immigrants. It’s not easy in Canada either, but folks are surviving there. Why not here? It’s not as cold or as far from home as Canada. That’s my point.

If you believed that then you will believe anything. EU citizens are getting permanent/citizenship already. Many have settled here already and will not be in a hurry to leave after Jan.

Wait for the trade deal details first before you jump to conclusions.

Brexit will have both negative and positive impact on the economy.

Oh for me it's purely business. Now the UK can set up free trade zones across the UK which I'm eagerly awaiting and building capital for. I'm going to be hitting my DIT and FCDO contacts and hiring a consultant in the new year to advise me on the best step.

The beauty of the break up is that the UK will need to build its market outside of the US, EU and China. This market is found in Africa and South America (and few across South East Asia) which in the next decade will emerge as the dominant markets (China is predicted to supercede The US economy by 2038).

To encourage export, the whole export is great campaign will be ramped up and foreign aid will be used as a carrot mainly for trade purposes. As an entrepreneur this is great for me as I can explore potential free trade agreements between both regions and potential tax incentives for both exporting and importing.

Also, the FTZ can offer me the opportunity to ship products from FTZ in Nigeria and rebrand here in the UK FTZ as UK products (after some considerable input) and re-export. This will help me beat existing bans on certain exports from Nigeria and avoid taxes.

Opportunities like this last presented themselves after the breakdown of the soviet regime.

No she didn't. Nothing like that. But I read somewhere consent is not needed for a husband traveling to the UK with children but it is mandatory for women.

Please where did you read that from because i'm not aware of that

I think there is though i voted to remain but leaving the EU will gave the UK the opportunity to trade freely with countries outside the EU and still maintain some deals with the EU.

Pls what would you advise or what step can she take? I've gotten her to put up the story on Nairaland and Twitter. The topic is currently on the front page but no meaningful submission.

She has informed the police too but they are demanding for money before they will act
