The winner of the 1986 Nobel Prize for literature says he has fulfilled a pre-election promise to cut up his green card and leave the United States if Donald Trump was elected president.
“I have already done it, I have disengaged [from the United States]. I have done what I said I would do,” Wole Soyinka, an 82-year-old Nigerian poet and playwright, told Agence France-Presse at an education conference in South Africa on Thursday.

WoW! “An 82-year-old Nigerian poet and playwright!”

Oh wait! Who the hell is he anyway? Never heard of him. Oh well, let him go since he really didn’t do anything for anyone anyway.

Many prizes these days are based on political correctness as much as merit.
A Nobel prize in chemistry I respect. A Nobel Peace prize is a bad sign. A Nobel prize in Literature is suspect.
The Pulitzer Prize (PP) lost much of its luster for me when I learned about Walter Duranty and the NYT receiving the PP for denying the Ukrainian holocaust.
I suspect this author could leave the planet and we would be better off.
bye Wole....I’ll miss you even though I never even heard of you and your so called “fame” until just now....and glad of it too...
His green card? Bwahahahahahahaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think Obama ought to reflect and act on this information. After all, aren’t we all still wondering about the validity of that Peace Prize being bestowed on Our Titular King who is an verified War Monger?
Don’t let the door....etc. etc.
Winning IS great, maybe he can open a KFC franchise in Africa.
I’m crushed! I just don’t know how I will sleep knowing that this brilliant guy is no longer in my country!
Yea, Right! Who ever heard of this clown and please do stay in Africa! Don’t leave; stay right there!
Buh-bye!
Yeah, don’t let the doorknob hit you in your worthless Black a$$.
Good, and when he decides to change his mind, deny him any other reentry green card.
Never heard of her.
82-—Pollute someone else’s air or soil.
wow only one with enough character to make good on a personal promise.
