Nigerian Nobel-literature laureate Wole Soyinka has confirmed that he has relocated to his native Nigeria. The move is in line with his pledge to leave the United States if Donald Trump won the US elections.
The infamous decision to rip apart his green card made the headlines before and after the November 8 polls that Trump won beating Hillary Clinton, his main contender.
A green card simply is a document that identifies the bearer as an alien with permanent resident status in the United States.
The 82-year-old told AFP on the sidelines of an education conference at the University of Johannesburg, South Africa: “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 have relocated, and I’m back to where I have always been. It’s useful in many ways.

Awesome!
Another win for Trump.
Buh-bye! Don’t let the door hit ya where God split ya!
Now if he'd only take a certain Kenyan with him.
” I have done what I said I would do.”
That’s one so far.
Who?
Sweet! One down, 9 million, 9 hundred and 99 thousand and 99 to go!
That’ll learn us....
I just cannot understand where they get this stuff. All MSM?
Great guy in the clubhouse but he couldn’t hit a major league curveball. It happens.
An honest man.
So far anyway the only one I know of who kept his promise.
Literary academic so very likely just everyone he talks to.
Also a very old man.
Maybe just retiring in the old country.
And this guy would be unable to name one instance of prejudice or “hate” directed against him due to the election of Trump..
Yesterday we had the nutter Clinton elector punishing Trump by not voting for Hillary.
Today Muslims are leaving the country because of Trump, who isn’t even in office.
What fresh hell will tomorrow bring?
WIN..WIN..WIN!!! I hope the Hollywood pukes follow suit and keep their promises!! And since Canada doesn’t want them there they oughta go and take up residency and citizenship in Mejico since they love that communist culture!! We need to apply heat and force them to keep their pledge! FB and TWITTER oughta do just fine! GET THE HELL OUTTA THE USA!!!
Winning.
so sad bye
Need help packing?
Don’t know who this person is, yet I’m reveling in his absence. Wish more like him would have the courage of their convictions and head for foreign lands, preferably toward the outer edge of the solar system. (I hear Uranus is lovely this time of year, if you don’t mind 1000 mph winds and frigid temps).
