Eminent Nigerian writer and Noble Laureate, Prof Wole Soyinka, who had vowed that if Mr. Donald Trump won the US presidential election that he would shred his 'green card' has fulfilled his promise.
Soyinka told the AFP at a conference at the University of Johannesburg: "I have already done it, I have disengaged from the United States. I have done what I said I would do... I had a horror of what is to come with Trump ... I threw away the [green] card, and I relocated, and I'm back to where I have always been."
He said, however, that he was not against any other Nigerian seeking to obtain the 'green card.' "It's useful in many ways. I
wouldn't for one single moment discourage any Nigerians or anybody from
acquiring a green card... but I have had enough of it," Soyinka said.
