Nobel laureate, Professor Wole Soyinka, has said he won’t destroy his United States’ residency permit until President elect, Donald Trump is inaugurated in 2017.
In a report by Vangaurd Newspaper, Soyinka reportedly made this known on Wednesday, November 9, 2016.
The writer reportedly said he will not destroy his residency permit until he sees what becomes of Trump’s administration after inaugurated into office.
“Why don’t we wait until Trump actually takes office? I am just going about my normal commitments, but definitely not getting into any more commitments. Let’s put it that way for now,” he said.
Days before the United States presidential election held, Soyinka had threatened to tear his permit should Republican candidate, Donald Trump emerge winner.
Following Trump’s victory on Wednesday, November 9, 2016, Nigerians had taken to social media to request that the Nobel laureate made through his threat.
Lol
Typical nigerian lying scum of the earth
I don’t see any sense on what u just said sir unless u have an intention of eliminating him #trumpalldway
Hehehehe
He has a point, we should wait till then and let see how is goin to react.
Hahahhahahahahhahahaha….. Nobel men keeps to their word not twist it
Mayb he wants 2 protest, or beta stil take 2 court
I knw baba will defend himself
Sir…Please go n seat dan
Please sir you have to destroy it now or never
JUST BELIEVE IN YOUR SELF- BUSINESS LESSONS FROM DONALD TRUMP’S VICTORY. Many people are celebrating the victory of Donald Trump today but I don’t know how many people believed he would ever win. When it became very obvious that everything was against him, I was afraid for him. Consider the fact that Trump was up against all the former Presidents of America, he was up against the incumbent president, he was up against Michelle Obama, he was up against Hollywood and the American celebrities, he was up against the Gay movement, he was up against all illegal immigrants, he was up against the the American press including the almighty CNN. Even France president wants to vomit at the mention of Trump, back here in Nigeria the “prophecy” was not in his favour, some were going to tear their green cards. But guess what? Despite all the oppositions, there was one person that did not only believe that Donald Trump was the best candidate for that position but also that he was going to win, and that person is DONALD TRUMP himself. Not even in the face of all those scandals did he for once weaver from his believe that he was going to be the president of America. The lessons for me and I guess any entrepreneur will want to take this home is that: 1. Trump believe so much in himself and the fact that he could fix the American problems. 2. He didn’t need the endorsement of others to believe in himself. 3. He was so blunt in declaring what he stands for and what he feels is right irrespective of who it is that feels otherwise 4. He was resilient even in the face of challenges. 5. He was able to exploit the weakness of his competition 6. Most importantly he was able to connect with the voters and those are the people that really matters. I BELIEVE HE WILL MAKE A GOOD PRESIDENT Now come to think of it. If Clinton had won, she will owe so much to The Obamas and all the other godfathers, but who will claim to be the reason for Trump’s victory, who is his godfather, who will be expecting him to take orders from him or her? For once, let’s have a successful business become a president (that is what I have always wished for my dear country Nigeria). Let them apply the same principles they used in building their businesses to run our country and will see if we can have a difference. Trump has done it in the private sector and I believe he can do it in the public sector. WHAT ABOUT YOU? Now, keep Trump aside for a minute. What about you? Do you have a vision for yourself or your country? How many people have told you that you can’t? Are you already discouraged because powerful forces are against you and no one seems to believe in you? The question is DO YOU BELIEVE YOU CAN? Where is your self confidence? Are you really going to go back because you have met an Obama or a Clinton on your way? If a thousand Obamas, Clintons, Bushes etc couldn’t stop Trump I think nothing can stop you. You will succeed! #DontEverFightWithAnEntrepreneur
hahahaha, this guy a real yoruba man camelon,

Naturally I don’t join issues with people especially those that can not see beyond their noses.Social media especially fb is where people air their views as they feel,whether scrutinized or not,after all the only qualification is to have a smart phone and subscribe to a data plan.
Good teaching they say is lost on a man who would not like to learn…so forgive them for they do not know what they are doing @ suwaibah Aliy
This statement is costly, trump should watch this man
Lol
thats an act of cowardice
Hahahahahahahahahahahaha…… I know you won’t…. Why would you..

Yes, he used “Irony”. What he meant is that if Trump wins, he will safeguard his green card as a priceless Nigerian-American. It means his green card has become even more precious to him.

tearing your green card means nothing..its just a piece of plastic you tearing.your name remains in the system so it can always be replaced…
he needs to go the commune and officially give back the greencard.
When will Nigerians understand that all Soyinka’s comments on national issues are political gaols meant to pull crowd to his candidate. He is not at all laureting in this era. He has drank the water of degree in deceit. Tutututufiakwa !!!
You are really a Prof

Yes, I agree with Itz Felistar Chi. Soyinka only used “Irony”. What he meant was that if Trump wins, he will safeguard his green card as a priceless Nigerian-American. It means his green card has become even more precious to him.
You should have waited for him to take office before telling the world that you will destroy your green card if he wins. Smh

Foolish old monkey.. Talkative 419 professor
See prof thinking upside down, you expected election inconclusive in some states of US as we are used to in Nigeria?
Some Nigeria celebrities, politicians and scholars just think Nigerians really care about what they say or do these days. Nonsense!
DATS UR OWN CUP OF TEA
The truth is, he has seen better days in life. He is only coming back to Nigeria to spend his remaining days on earth. He has nothing to loss. Please, come back home safely, OK… Don’t forget to bring your smoking pipe and snuff cos that’s what old men need when they retire..
Of what good is that to u and I and every other Nigerian? Will DAT reduce pump price or make bag of rice to sell for #8000. Abeg make una free proff. Freedom of speech

“I will tear my green card”It shouldnt be interpreted from the literal point of view..It may be a proverb,an idiomatic expression,or an anverbial clause of precision.
Soyinka pickin
His a really Nigerian man
So what are you trying to insinuate. Are you going to remove him from office???? Your words just boomeranged and you’re shying away from it. Smh

cowwarding proffessor
Prof, ur dis ur grammar actually taken over office can implicated u if anything happen to Trump. I hv told u America is Nt kogi so mind ur word.
He’s a Yoruba man , they can never change from being a cameleon they’re. That was what their elders did when they agreed with Ojukwu to declare Oduduwa state instead they got home n refused in the said agreements. That’s how Biafra was on their own to fight the 3yrs civil war with the Nigerian army . They’re good chameleons
Shameless man
Where is your word of honor?
Hmmmmmmm…Have said without prejudice that the likes of Mr. Wole Soyinka are not respected men any longer and they are also part of problems we are facing too as far as am concerned… We urge him to honorably redeemed his pledge without any stupid excuses….
Old fool
Trump’s victory, and the US election as a whole has been a great lesson to me.
This is not the Soyinka we know, the glory left him long after he became a politician.
Real men keep to their words
“shame” you think US is like Nigeria where the the likes of you confuse the government in power with your deceitful tongues like the two edge sword.
Let him ascend office first, before u tongue lash both he n tb joshua abeg
Nigerians want to kill themselves on Wole Soyinka speech , God is not too late let Nigeria twist my speech like wole Soyinka speech , a man spoke Nigerians are meditating , Oh lord let me speak, Nigerians should be meditating .Amen
Too much hair,too much talk!
Its just a figure of speech, wole Soyinka is a noble man
Destroy the thing jor hes the new President anyways…lame excuse from a Prof
Daddy, pls always b a man of ur word
Hahahahahah. He is full of regrets or his statement was idiomatic!
Because of you guys he should destroy his green card una try. That is the level of not wanting trump to win . everyone his or her own to express yourself leave him alone
