loomer:
Oga go sleep. Who ask you?

OZAOEKPE:
i dont know how and why they gave this olodo of a prof nobel prize, what major work has he done in this 21st century

cowardSeun:
Wole Soyinka is an illiterate old fool..

Pedagogue:
Responding to some infantile people here is a waste of precious time. Any perspicuous mind here will know that the reason why many folks are attacking Soyinka is not because of the Green Card issue! Far from it!

Professor Wole Soyinka is the greatest Nigerian academic-living or dead. PERIOD.

Many Soyinka haters are still reeling from his severe criticism of the GEJ regime! Interestingly, most of these people are from the region that are pained that Soyinka won the most prestigious Nobel price, which Prof Achebe could not! That is the REAL cause of their hateful comments.

hyperflex:
...see pple still getting excited over someone else's green card utterances. Is it ur green card?? Abuse the man when uv been internationally acclaimed for something. Half of you are just an embarrassment to this 20th/21st century generation. Every one in the internet age has something to say whether sensible or senseless but mostly senseless. No respect for older people again and u wonder why children born in the 90s entering 2000s are valueless. Come for me and perish.

MONITZ:



Percuniary wat??I want to belive that u dont truly know this man...U surely dont know this man's pedigree ,initially people didn't believe wen he said he would tear- up his green card,they said he wouldn't do such a thing nd that he was just bragging. Having fulfilled his promise, we re on a different level from: 'he can't do it to 'to "wat is wrong with this man? ,this man is senile,he talks too much".


How can one actually satisfy Nigerians?

LorDBolton:


Since you're not wole soyinka's son, why not tell me what your own dad has achieved so I talk about mine??

What govt oppression did they fight?
How did they fight it?
How did they manage the fraternity?
What was the impact of the fraternity on university culture?
What legacy did they leave behind?

Mtcheeew why am I even issuing an intelligent rebuttal to gibbon like u.

He won a Nobel laureate? Renowned prof?

Lols pls Get tha fvck out my mentions twerp!!

jon1:
Soyinka brought this upon himself with his loquacity. He was myopic to envisage the plausible outcome of the U.S. elections which was glaring to some of us right from the conventions and it's attendant effect on his character. He spoke without foresight and pledged without insight to TEAR his green card. Proves peroxide blonde bleached hair doesn't instil wisdom. It is merely a fashion statement.

Rossikki:


HE HAS A RIGHT TO BE DISGUSTED AT THE ELECTION OF A RACIST, IGNORANT, UNQUALIFIED, WARMONGERING, DANGEROUS DEMAGOGUE AS THE US PRESIDENT.

JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE SO FILLED WITH INFERIORITY COMPLEX THAT YOU CANNOT IMAGINE CHALLENGING OR QUESTIONING ANYTHING 'WHITE' DOES NOT MEAN YOU SHOULD EXPECT WOLE SOYINKA TO BE A SLAVE LIKE YOU. UNDERSTOOD? HE'S WAY ABOVE YOUR LEVEL INTELLECTUALLY, SO SEES THINGS VERY DIFFERENT FROM A PERSON LIKE YOU WHO CANNOT SEE OR THINK BEYOND HIS NEXT MEAL.

Phlegmwash:


They're children of hatred. Only rhetorics of hatred and inter tribal slurs excite them.

rapistomenka:
Somebody should pleas get prof a wife


Only an erection and subsequent ejaculation can calm his body down


Jimmy Carter gave you your green card and you accepted it with both hands and ran in a neck-breaking speed to America

otukpo:
Somebody should please advise Soyinka to stop ranting.

He is embarrassing himself.

DedeNkem:
Why create a problem for Jimmy Carter? Soyinka, you're ungrateful!

thesicilian:
Jimmy Carter gave you a green card free of charge, while others were slaving away for years to get theirs. And the best way to pay him back was to tear up the green card because an election did not go your way

castrokins:
What Exactly Has Happened To Prof. Soyinka? If I Didn't Watch This Report On Channels Tv, I'd Think It's Made Up By The Media. You Made A Promise, Not Just Before Nigerians, But The Entire World. What's Wrong In Reminding You Of An Earlier Promise? I Know You Campaigned For Buhari Who's Cancelled All Hi Promises To Nigerians, But One Would've Expected That A Professor Of Your Standing Would Be Different. Disappointing!!

MrPrsdent:
EXCUSE ME PLEASE....

1. Every ADULT who is granted a green card has to apply for one. Documents needs to be submitted, application needs to be filed and SIGNED BY THE APPLICANT/BENEFICIARY. Interviews take place ,either in the US or in the applicants' home country ,before permanent residency is granted. So NO ONE CAN GET A GREEN CARD FOR ANYONE. So if the Prof said Jimmy carter just went and got a green card for him. THAT"S A LIE.

2. Green Card is just a physical card representing your status of permanent residency in the U.S. If you tear it up or lose it, you can always get a replacement. It doesn't mean tearing it up is a loss of your permanent residency status. If the prof tore it up, he is still a permanent resident of the US and can always pay for a new card to be issued. Replacement cost is $365. Here is a US govt site where you apply for replacement green card. https://www.uscis.gov/i-90. BTW,there is no proof he ever tore it up.

3. The green card is mostly shown while entering the US from overseas. For day to day living in the US, you would seldom be asked to produce it. Because you will already have your social security number and state I.D/Driving licence. The state ID/social security links to your immigration status in the US,so the green card is not needed. That's what (I.D card/driving licence/SSN card) law enforcement or employers would ask you to show. So even if the Prof destroyed his green card, all he has to do is go to US immigration or US embassy overseas, present his Nigerian passport and they would check his details on the computer and fingerprints/photos, and stamp his passport with his green card details. That's all. He doesn't actually need the physical green card to enter or remain in the U.S.

4. The prof is most probably playing to the gallery. I'm sure he'd be back in the U.S within months. He's just traveling ,giving paid lectures and speeches overseas and pretending he's left the U.S once and for all.
