Nobel laureate Wole Soyinka says he will cut his green card and leave the United States if Donald Trump wins the presidential election, according to a reportby The Guardian. The report said Soyinka, a scholar-in-residence at New York University’s Institute of American Affairs, disclosed the plan in a speech to Oxford students.

“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,” said Soyinka, who is scholar-in-residence at New York University’s Institute of African American Affairs this autumn. “The moment they announce his victory, I will cut my green card myself and start packing up.”

The Nigerian playwright and poet, who was imprisoned in Nigeria during its civil war, later fleeing the country and receiving a death sentence in absentia, urged young people to stand up against oppression.

Giving a seminar to students at Oxford University, he also laid into Brexit, saying it was a “ridiculous decision”, and part of an international rise in what he called “ultranationalism”.

“What is happening in Europe shouldn’t surprise any of us … It has happened before,” he said. “We were here when Enoch Powell was leading his thugs out to drive blacks from here … it’s a constant fight to try to get a nation to recognise its own noble persuasions, its own persuasions of the loftiness of human possibility. It’s for young people like you to say no to them whenever that happens.”

Will destroying his green card solve our economic recession, insecurity and divisiveness in the country

He should be more concerned about state of happenings under the bigoted incompetent BC he and others helped brought to power and sufferings brought on Nigerians by their stupid decision.

Even though we didnt pray for Donald Truck or Trump self to emerge as president, but if he destroys his green card and leave US will that change anything?

Mtcheeww.. Renounce ur nigerian citizen first. PMB is worse than 500 Donald Trumps combined.

This man na truly mumu those grey hair na wash no sense in that skull
