wole-soyinka-trump

Noble Laurett Wole Soyinka vowed to destroy his green card if Donald Trump is elected.

Speaking at the Oxford University in London, Soyinka said

“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.”

Now, Nigerians are reminding him of his promise,some suggesting he do it on live TV..

  54. 1 And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
    2 Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel that prophesy, and say thou unto them that prophesy out of their own hearts, Hear ye the word of the Lord;
    3 Thus saith the Lord God; Woe unto the foolish prophets, that follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing!
    4 O Israel, thy prophets are like the foxes in the deserts.
    5 Ye have not gone up into the gaps, neither made up the hedge for the house of Israel to stand in the battle in the day of the Lord.
    6 They have seen vanity and lying divination, saying, The Lord saith: and the Lord hath not sent them: and they have made others to hope that they would confirm the word.
    7 Have ye not seen a vain vision, and have ye not spoken a lying divination, whereas ye say, The Lord saith it; albeit I have not spoken?
    8 Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Because ye have spoken vanity, and seen lies, therefore, behold, I am against you, saith the Lord God.
    9 And mine hand shall be upon the prophets that see vanity, and that divine lies: they shall not be in the assembly of my people, neither shall they be written in the writing of the house of Israel, neither shall they enter into the land of Israel; and ye shall know that I am the Lord God.

  182. See as dem run election, free and fair, pop and plain, out and open. Everybody see am. Dem take about 8days to cast votes. But 9ja na only 1day about 6billion people go cast vote. With break and quench voting method.. With Enough shooting and snatching of ballot boxes. Blood go flow like river Jordan. Hmmmm

    • It is not the matter of size my sister, it’s actually about the population, and last year I checked the Google I can remember USA was the 3rd or 4th most populous country in the world and Nigeria was either the 4th or 5th.(I’ll make a research about that again). But whatsoever, I’m pretty sure America cannot be trice or even twice the population of Nigeria.

  207. so if dey leave una … U go believe sai woman go rule united state , sit down for white house .. Woman oooo wa belong to kitchen .. Dats impossicant … From day one I knew donald trump would win … So for all those wa want tear dey green card make dem go ahead tear am and burn am .. if dey get both yellow and red or pink make dey tear cuz na tearing tins we dey so … Lols … Long lives donald trump

  212. Some old men will not respect their old age,what even pushed him to make such comment,do he think that America is Nigeria where they rig election to give who so ever they wants.

  239. God I thank you for victory of light over darkness.
    I will not offer God a sacrifice that cost me nothing! 2:Samuel 24v24
    God,i therefore offer to you as a sacrifice all Nigerian fake pastors,T.B Joshua, Wole Soyinka,Jay-Z,. for burnt offerings

  247. abeg make una leave my prof alone joor, don’t mind them sir , u can never tear ur green card rather u can stay away from America untill after trump’s regime .(4yrs)

  251. I can’t imagine how we can all be claiming proudly Africa while all we do is to be trolling, calling out and our hero and those that keep our name in the world map educationally. so you want the world to respect him when you his people saying shit to his Name, you have to be on his level to reason and see his view on the issue, and secondly most of you browse with just 1 mb with 1gb comment over unverified post you saw SMH for you ooo

  258. Such is life, u never can tell, this America election have taught us to be focus in what ever u want to achive in this life, believe in urself regardless of what people are saying about u, don’t let d pass draw u back, just believe in future, dat’s Trump for u, man propose, God dispose, a lesson to those that say, u can never make it, sorry to wole soyika, next time he will know how to control his tongue.

  262. I am yet to hear that wole soyinka has tore his green card. Let him bring it to me, I can help him tear it to pieces in case he is finding it hard to do so. I hope our old professor hasn’t changed his mind.

  270. Some people are very excited when something bad happens to their people, just because Trump said that he will send out all Blacks from America, they were happy for that. Yoruba proverb says ” ajegbodo nwa ni kun ra”. Every bad agendas of Trump will not stand in Jesus name.

  282. Now I know most Nigerians are lacking understanding, that is why we are having leaders that enslave us, we put ourselves in their hands,A man speak the truth of what he intended to do to his country but because of our own greediness we dislike him now he won, all those who say they will tear or live America should start immediately,, come back to your father land and repair the damages of Nigeria

  303. Don’t u guys understand proverbs, metaphor, parable, idioms, irony, … Which are essential materials in art & literature?
    I’ll tear my green card if trump wins, simply means : my value and respect for America will drop if the Trump wins.

  316. Yes! here we are…
    Donald Trump will be taking over the #WhiteHouse by 20th of January 2017.
    Meanwhile, Whole Soyinka made a vow to tore his Green Card when he does win.
    We’re expecting you back home whole soyinka … come taste this so called #Recession ????????? LMAO

  356. Donald trump wins and everyone returns to their root I can’t wait to see Lil Wayne in Warri, Rick Ross in ASABA
    50cent in OGUN
    Akon in Senegal
    Wale in OYO
    Jay z in Anambra
    Snoop Doggy in Kano.

  364. Soyinka sef… Who is taking him seriously? People of his calibre of her countries are respected because when they talk,their statement carry force. Soyinka’s own is to speak big grammar that only him understands.

    • What the fuck those he knows, probably what some one else taught him, don’t be fooled jolly, his knowledge hasn’t helped u, me or our country Nigeria…. Just a Narcissist parading with novel knowledge… Grow up dude, don’t end up a dick ass like him, and in case I forgot, let him tore his fucking green card

  369. they are a joker , if they love and respect there country what would they have been doing in another country trying to be there citizens instead of join hands and make there own country great they are abroad fooling them selfs with out money

  371. He initially thought America was a place where corruption is perpitratrated easily just like he and his leagues do here in Nigeria, God has vindicated we supporters of Donald Trump as for prophet T B Joshua who publicly tarnished his much respected image by declaring that Mrs Clinton will come out victorious; let me just rest my case…..

    • What would have made me to vote for a woman to rule this world, my friend don’t provoke me anymore .a woman that ruled American with her husband as old as she is will never give others a chance to test what having power means but instead obstinately decided to disturb her very old age by contesting for the American presidency, shame on you if you supported her

  375. Father of bigotry, he should not only tear his useless green….whatever, he should go ahead and tear himself up, who cares? Atheist and homosexuals are one & the same, they call God a joker, but in reality they are the jokers

  376. My brother…you make me laugh…I told them that no shaking I stand by trump…who is the real prophet of God? Is he God? How can he predict such evil? I wonder why some men of God cannot see good thing is only bad bad things….may God have mercy on them…..now God has turned back the captivity of Zion to prove him wrong…..his followers hope you are on line? Who is that man that will speak and it will come to pass when God has not sanctioned?… NO BODY…

  379. Hahaa..WHR is TB Joshua…. Frankly speaking, the so called men of God are the real people causing problem to our great pple in the country. For instance #u r sick,instead of going for medical care .one MOG frm no WHR wil start telling u DAT its witch craft# b4 u kW t its death…. We Nigerians need to b wise now….

  381. y will he tear is green card……if he said he would tear it if trump wins, he might b using figure of speech to express the horror,but dat doesnt mean he will tear it….if it were u will u tear ur green card?

  396. Abeg, make una leave the man alone. He is getting old and could not analyze things properly as at when he was younger. He did it in Nigeria last year and it was okay for him.

    This is a big lesson for all of us. In certain circumstances, you can give an opinion without taking a position. He should not have gone to that extreme. Stay blessed

  423. Make una no mind that old fool that studied with community efforts. Make him come study niw that everything is high and see if he will make third class. HE MUST TEAR THAT HIS ILL GOTTEN GREEN CARD NOW OR THUNDER GO FIRE AM THERE. Trump all the way. All hail Biafra

  429. Nobody needs to remind him of that..if he actually said it..he will do it..don’t be in a hurry guyz..nd mind u guys..he has other countries passports as well…so if he tears 1 there are still other countries he calls home…#mtcheew

  437. Prof despite much love and respect for your personality, you ended up on the wrong side after bluffing, well its a lesson to the self perceived great men of the earth to learn from, i sympathize with your mistake Prof. #GOD IZ NOT A MAN#

  456. Wow we call this inbuilt election, god punish any of our politician that will ask me to come out side and stand under the sun to vote, as for you mr Soyinka we are still waiting for your promise God bless you if you do as you say

  460. And Donald Trump wins… Well it simply show us that whites will always support theirs no matter what. They will pray for their own even if he’s a demon, that’s a PATRIOTIC spirit. Nigerians should learn from this, and stop the killing , criticism and pulling down with our mouths. As a child till now no head of state or President is good in Nigeria, from civilian to military back to civilian, Nigerians will always have one complain or the other, if he’s not slow, he’s tribalistic, or a thief, or murderer, or clueless or old and so on. When are we going to appreciate and pray for any of our own. An American blesses America everyday but an average Nigerian would rather find faults and curse. President is slow, Governor is a thief, Pastor is chopping money, King is this and that, It is not in our place to to judge them, God placed them there. Let’s pray for Nigeria it’s our country, Americans don’t mind voting in a demon and pray for him to become an Angel. But Nigerians would rather vote an Angel and turn him to a demon with curses. It’s not bad if we compare Naija with Uk and USA but we should also remember Naija is not as old as this countries. America did not achieve all this in 56 yrs. I love my country, God bless Nigeria and give us A Positive Nigeria of our dreams. AMIN.- Olori Alli Bidemi !

  466. Inteligent don’t talk too much,they always mind what comes out of their mouth.Soyinka must prove his worth by tearing his green openly for the whole world to see,bcos is not everything an intellgent man see or hear he must talk.Soyinka has disgraced his reputation.God has proved to the world that with God all things are possible.Let the whole earth and every living being bow and worship the true living God,our Lord Jesus Christ.Am really happy for Trump,i congratulate the new president of America who won the election against all odds,thank u Jesus Christ.

  474. Buhari nd soyinka should burie their heads in shame. They are supporting H Clinton after saying that a woman belong to their kitchens. Buhari forgot his words against women simply because Obama and his alliance put him in power. As for Soyinka nd T B Joshua, am not surprised because it is in their blood. Don’t be surprised they will twist it.

  481. Now its b cleared to we black dat did white ppl are different by there determination, they don’t compromise wt wot they want. As an international man 4 years wit age, Prof should know hardly would American vote again 4 same party like ours,also,within them,I mean the politicians, spiritually even d outgoing president knows. Nigerians pls let’s come together and build our home
    Can u join say GOD BLESS NIGERIA

  490. Y are you guys jez waiting for people’s downfall y must he tear his green card…if u only know the stress time money it takes to get green card I bet u wont tell him to tear his…it’s a statement out of annoyance pls

  501. The way Nigerians requested for change and elected Buhari that’s way Americans just did.they needed something different from the norms.we wish them well.hoping their change won’t metamorphose into our kind of change..GOD help every immigrants out there.my only issue with Hillary’s immigration is the matter of terrorism that the Islamic refugees would have generated..

  509. Leave Prof Wole Soyinka alone o…
    Wetin concern “agbero” with overload sef?
    Una dey there when him talk the talk? Abi, you record him talk for tape?
    Even if una record him talk for tape, person no fit talk him mind again?
    As I dey so, I don tell my wife people say if Donald “The CrazyBoy” Trump win the election, naim be say I go divorce am if she no commot US. I dey bank on the idea say Hillary “Darling” Clinton go win.See how things come turn out!
    Shay I fit divorce my wife again? Shay I fit divorce my beautiful wife wey don born grown-up children for me sake of say one “yeye” gambler and tax evader win the US election?

  517. Donald trump wins and everyone returns to their root I can’t wait to see Lil Wayne in Warri, Rick Ross in ASABA
    50cent in OGUN
    Akon in Senegal
    Wale in OYO
    Jay z in Anambra

  524. If u are a figure,mind what u say in public cos it will come hunting u……de same vow Dat made David coumerone reseingn 4rm been de british prime minister…..talk less watch n listen more…..senior man we need 2 see u tear ur green card…..

  541. It was an American wonder & a political earthquake dat proved political pundits,pastors & professors wrong! Dont blame our dear prof;he thot like a Naija man dat he truly is!

  546. I’m happy soyinka said that word.atleast those of our brothers wen don lost there will cum home now.even d politicains children will cum back nd develop our country.build good schools,hospital, companies. Thank u Mr Soyinka God has used u to fight against our leader too,who waste our money there nd have a lot of houses nd cars.

  559. That is what happens when an old man refuses to tame his tongue and ego! We need Soyinka to come home and try to serve his country especially under the present government he endorsed wholeheartedly! Another person that should know that God did not call him is the one Rasheed Fayewiwowho who said that if Donald Trump wins the election, God did not call him as a prophet, Some of us have written him earlier (when he had made some of these wild predictions and stamping God’s name on his opinions) begging him not to take the name of our God in vain but he would not heed that. Now He knows as we have suspected for some time that God did not call him!

  563. Wolesonyika is a very big full,by making a promise that he can’t fulfil. If he tear his green card I will give him a cage of palm wine.

  564. The man was not in his right sense when he utter that and the worst thing that will ruin his integrity is for him not to CUT his greencard..pure nonsense.instead to maintain your champion in Nigerian, you went ahead to disgrace yourself in the foreign land. I billion poems can’t save you from this prof. You’re in trouble.

  573. These idiot is part of Nigerians problem. They stay in America and cause all the propaganda during 2015 elections. The country’s is in recession he runs to America to cool down. Please come back come follow us enjoy recession.

  579. Oya tear it now pls as obj do pls don’t shy.Donald pls give him three days to pack his load pls.Soyinka rice cost gari cost petrol us 150 per liter no light ketosine no area come let us sofer it together OK

  609. SOYINKA SHOULD NOT GO AHEAD OF GOD. .IF HILARY GOES TO D WHITE HOUSE , WHO WILL CARE FOR CLINTON D HUSBAND? OR WL CLINTON TAKEOVER D KITCHEN? NEVER BYPASS GOD IN YR PLANS.AS AN HONOURABLE MAN,SOYINKA SHLD APOLOGISE TO D WORLD
