Nigerian noble laureate Wole Soyinka says he will destroy his green card and leave the United States if it so happens that Donald Trump wins the presidential election.
According to a report by The Guardian, Soyinka, a scholar-in-residence at New York University’s Institute of American Affairs, disclosed the plan in a speech to Oxford students.
He was quoted as saying:
“If in the unlikely event he does win, the first thing he’ll do is to say (that) all green-card holders must reapply to come back into the US. Well, I’m not waiting for that.
“The moment they announce his victory, I will cut my green card myself and start packing up.”
The Nobel laureate also criticised Brexit, warning that there is a rise of “ultranationalism” and calling on young people to resist oppression.
His comments come less than three weeks after 70 Nobel laureates backed Democratic Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

He said he wanted Change and here is the Change he also craved for, now he has gone to America to decide for them , Let him shout up who asked him about his Green Card Status If Donlad Trump Wins is that his Concern?? Before you guys talk also think well before you support……..

Stanley i must say Some Nigerians ehnnn like the recession because it doesnt affect them and that is because they dont help other people, i will always respect the whites why because almost all Of Them when they have Little cash to spend they give it To *Charity Organisations** or they form thier own…..
Instead of Us To come together as a Nation and Find Ways to Curb this Recession…. we are playing with our Rulers who claim they are leading us….. If Truly the Federal government recovered all those Cash they said they had recovered that we didnt see why Does he want to borrow that huge amount of Money…….. lets be careful so that we wont have to see something worse than Recession if there be…..

Bro you said nothing oo. What about those that are making lives and doesn’t have hand in Nigeria problems.
@markson,dats an abuse you know? Thanx anyway.
wow i didn’t think of it that way
I support you
Funny because you don’t know how hard nigerias work here in order to send money to their sick and well relatives in Nigeria. We do double job in order to meet up with uncountable phone calls we receive from nigeria. Eventhen as a scholarship student … I worked in the school library and was able to help those I helped in my own little way . We know our problem in nigeria. I worked for 2 years as a nurse before traveling. We the masses do all sorts in order to survive . People seal fake drugs to hospitals thereby increasing the rate of kidney and liver issues in Nigeria. We the youth has refused to use our talents since the government are not helping . We the youth wants to harvest without cultivating . Our parents suffered so much just to be what they are now but we want everything to be placed directly in our care .I came from an average nigerian home ,I never made my hair myself ,I never cooked for someone .. but as I came to the US as a student , I had to work in the school library and in the fitness center . I couldn’t afford $200 to braid my hair because thats like 80k then …. I had to readjust and went on youtube ti learn that and now I’m paid to braid people’s hair and I also cook for some *lazy* mother’s and get paid and then I made sure that my younger brother in unizik then got monthly pocket money from me . So saying we want us all to come back …hmmmmm is a dream that can never come to reality . We wear one jeans here while those we give money in Nigeria does ashebi all the time in Nigeria . They flaunt iPhones while we use just normal ones .
That y I said Nigeria should be fixed, so you don’t have to be slave in another man country. ..my prayers is that all bad leaders should experience plane crash and die expecially the one tie money that surpose to be use to invest or build industries to create employment. …
Bro, u dey vex oo @Markson
Yes na……if you watch some videos documentary of ppl wen don die…vex go hungry u like me…..ppl wen don die for sea all bcos of abroad plenty pass ppl wen cross….all bcos of bad govt on job….hungry wan kill families finish..I dey vex if I get opportunity i go kill everybody wen get from five million and above for account. …Instead of use am provide job d idiots go stock am for account. ..for watin…
@Markson I’m a proud professional nurse in the US and a citizen for that matter . I’m not a slave to any. I make my millions in a a week .. gaa juoo ese . Yes I’m proud to have worked while I was a student . I’m proud America brought out the Good Nigerian sense in me . I’m also proud to say that America brought out the creativity in md . So save yourself that #slaverycomment
His business
You are right my brother let them come home
So sorrow @Ada ogene I dont mean it that way
My dear fin sister just ignore him @ Ada Ogene
Lol no mind some people. . Lol thanks fin
Mr Markson use your head…you go tell him if your papa buy shares for Nigeria Govt ..if you like they wait make we come back by that time you go they give your children excuses why you are that poor.double your hustle…Nigeria govt don’t give a fuck about you, even politicians, even Trump..you have a Lazy brain.

Ounpe… Your father land is in recession nd you are there talking of Donald duck or wat is he called.
I want to use this opportunity to #officially endorse #Donald_J_Trump for the 8th November, 2016, US Presidential Election.
——————————————————————————
Of all among the greatest and moral virtues that are available to a good leader truth and honesty are a two-one thing that transcends above all in the realm of civic leadership. Donald Trump possesses this rare quality. It is in this light that I forward him to be the winner of 8th November election. Clinton is a liar and a terror sponsor monger. Therefore she must loose for peace to rain on our earth. It is incumbent upon all peace loving races to follow my devin suit. Whoever voted for Clinton canvasses for global crisis. We had had enough crisis, it’s time we build peace and trust.
Vote Trump!
Fail Clinton!
Thank you!!
who cares if he destroys his green card ….how e take affect the price of rice for market.
God help Donald Trump to win for so that APC members and evil people around the world to pack and leave this planet earth for us to have peace
