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.

See ya’. Wouldn’t want to be ya’.
Yawn. Another affirmative-action ‘award winner’ heard from. Boring.
He’ll miss the USA and be back in no time.
Good for him.

That was basically my tag line for 6 months prior to the election in 2008.
“Obama: Carter’s only chance to avoid going down in history as the worst U.S. president ever.”
Gotta give it to the guy....he catches on real quick.
The dividends just keep getting payed out from this election!
How can you tarnish a turd?
Joy.
More winning
One Nigerian Nobel "PC" Prize winner for literature going back to Africa is a start...
...But if a Kenyan Nobel "PC" Prize winner for peace followed back to Africa that would surely be a real PRIZE FOR AMERICA.
May the door not hit either Soyinka or Obama in the ass on their way out!
The end of corruption is death knell to Africans
This Nigerian references Obama African father. His sperm donor was African. That doesn’t qualify as “father” in civilized culture’s book. Same with Kaepernick. It’s amazing that both Obama and Kaepernick condemn white people (who raised them and did everything for them) and identify with the sperm donors who didn’t stick around.
And stay out $$hole!!!
If you trash America it usually nails down that Nobel Prize.
Pray America woke
So long, and take Babs with you.
he’ll be back.
I just commmented : he’ll be back - if I may, add - maybe these “leavers” should have their visas or passports revoked.
Exactly. The Left isn't afraid of Trump because of what he wants to do. The Left is afraid of Trump because he'll expose them for the worthless frauds that they've been for the past eight (or maybe more like 20-odd??) years.
