Nobel Prize-Winning Author Wole Soyinka Throws Away Green Card, Relocates Over Trump Win
By Jessica Chasmar - December 1, 2016
Nobel Prize-winning author Wole Soyinka said Thursday that he fulfilled his promise to throw away his United States green card and relocate if Donald Trump won the presidency.
“I’ve done it,” the Nigerian author told news channel eNCA on the sidelines of an education conference at the University of Johannesburg, Reuters reported. “When I was ready, when I’d finished, I negotiated my departure,” he said.
Mr. Soyinka said Africans are worried that Mr. Trump could tarnish the legacy of President Obama, whose father was Kenyan. “We on the African continent could boast that we had a contemporary descendent ruling the United States,” he said. “Suddenly, somebody is making speeches which are meant to reverse those gains.”
Mr. Soyinka won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1986 and has been a regular teacher at American Ivy League universities, including Harvard, Cornell and Yale.

Could we please have more Nobel Prize PHYSICISTS, CHEMISTS, and PHYSICIANS, and FORGET the “LITERATURE” crap???
Don’t let the door hit you on the west out. There are literally thousands of people that are lined up for a green card that would be happy to be here.
WHAT HAVE WE DONE?!?
.......and the reindeer you rode in on.
You nailed him.
Making America great again, one ungrateful import at a time.
We just keep winning. Not tired yet.
I don’t think Madonna expected many people to remember she made that fake promise. She has about run out of ways to shock people. If any music star tries to mainstream a perversion like zoophilia, I can see her doing it or pretending to.
Wole might read the Preamble to our constitution. Our founders preserved to their posterity: that would be us, the blessings of liberty. Domestic tranquility, etc. Not every free-booting African, muslim and central American border jumpers who could evade ICE, with the assistance of his pal Obama
Get tough on employers and put the illegals back in the shadows and they’ll self-deport. Won’t need a wall.
Award Wole the Darwin, also.
Self deportation begins now
Great news !
May 10’s of 1000’s of African imigres follow suit .
BACK TO AFRICA !
His novel on African bed bugs sealed his Nobel.
Trump is winning already!
Can America survive without Wole Soyinka?
Perhaps we should re-think this whole PRESIDENT TRUMP thing now.
rofl I’m just heartbroken here! It’s the end of the world as we know it......
Where there’s a Wole there’s a whey.
Oh no... what will we do without a radical progressive Nigerian? Maybe he will need my help sneaking $50 million out of Lagos.
