[size=18pt]No Mr. Soyinka, you are the troll.[/size] I read Soyinka's latest rants "WOLEXIT" first published by Sahara Reporters in response to clamour from Nigerians online for him to stick to his earlier vow of destroying his American Green Card if Donald Trump won and I must say I was really appalled not with Wole Soyinka but for myself having held any respect for this man over the years. In his self grandiose delusions, Soyinka took us on an unnecessary voyage down memory lane recalling all his travels and immigration brouhas since his student years detailing his dissatisfaction and self blacklisting of several other countries which out of both ongoing political and personal grieviances with their immigration services requirement (Australia) imposed a self ban on visiting those countries fortunate not to have the fraud arrive their shores. It didn't just stop there. Wole Soyinka had the audacity to state that when he made that vow to destroy his American Green Card, he made it among civilized and fellow educated people in far away US and not for the pesky trolls of nigerian cyberspace. How pompous can this man be? Wole will round up his rants directing those same dismissed Nigerian "Internet trolls" to get an education stating that people like myself who demanded that he keep his word major problems' was ignorance and lack of education. Well Mr, Wole Soyinka, it appears that you pointless rants in WOLEXIT was actually directed to those same "uneducated Nigerian Internet trolls" who kept reminding you to do the honorable action of keeping to your words. Your civilized oyinbo compatriots in whose midst you made that vow, will not ask you to follow up on your promise to destroy your green card but you can bet they will be observing and taking notes on your lack of credibility on living up to your own words. As a Nigerian, I expect some one of your age and (dubious) academic background to at least do the honorable thing instead of directing all your frustration on your fellow Nigerians who you have deemed trolls. And for your info, it is widely regarded on the Internet as a golden rule never to respond to trolls. But in your latest rants, you angst seem to be towards those trolls as you never bothered to even address the fundamental issue which was for you to keep to your vow. For the accusation and generalization of all of us who demanded you keep to your own words, to which you described us as "uneducated", I believe the last election has proven who really the uneducated buffon is and that happens to be you because in your aproko cheerleading of Hilary Clinton you forgot to factor critical political indices other than useless MSM churned bullsh1t polls. The same MSMs which you based your confidence to vow to destroy your green card if the inevitable Trump presidency arises has since began apologizing for their bias and lack of objective reporting. Also, you termed us "busybodies" who should mind our business as you never made that vow to we "uneducated trolls" in Nigeria, I wondered then Wetin come concern you with US election? Last I checked you are not an American citizen or even remotely a politician back in Nigeria so wetin come be your own? Who gave you the sole right to comment on American affairs? To even add to your level of aprokoism, you were the lone voice from Nigeria to make a self committing statement over the likelihood of the American elections? No be over aproko be that? I also want to let you know Mr Soyinka that your fellow oyibos who vowed to do whatever demeaning act if Trump won have begun keeping up to their words. See the CNN pollster who vowed to eat bugs on live TV if Trump won. Well he has lived up to his own words. So instead of acting like a trolled old fool insulting young Nigerians who are young enough to be your grandkids kindly tear your green card or forever shut dah hell up. 8 Likes 1 Share |

[size=18pt]Soyinka will loose his respect both in Nigeria and Overseas if he fails to keep to his words of cutting his greencard should Donald Trump win the United States Presidential Election.

[s] Eastactivist:[/s] You and this your tribalistic outpouring: it is either you are jobless or someone is crediting your account for doing this. Instead of brainstorming on the economy and political issues we are facing at present, two old dead woods are behaving foolishly and you are joining them childishly. I hope tearing or non-tearing of his green card is adding to the developments of youths in the society. |

Omonigeriarere: It doesn't in any way help remove Nigeria from recession but a man at that age should learn how to keep his mouth shut or do what he promised to do. He is a highly respected Nigerian and a Nobel price winner and also he represent the image of his country he should learn not to allow emotions cloud his sense of reasoning. Then back to you what have you done to lift Nigeria out of recession or you just felt like spilling trash 6 Likes |

Ultimatesammie: The moment he addressed a world press Confrence stating his position in a US presidential election (which does not concern him), that moment it became public business and since he insulted us in Nigeria cyberspace through his WOLEXIT rants we will make it an ultimatum for him to keep to his own words. Old men don't talk carelessly. We expect him to act according to his own words and we shall continue to torment him for that. 3 Likes |

Soyinka should keep to his words. Obviously he was just fronting to sell his image as a very serious person not knowing things could flip. I won't be surprised if he now says he was joking. |

yjgm: Gaffe or no gaffe, a man of W. S status can afford to do without America's green card and a lot of Nigerians still don't know this. W. S is an asset to any nation. Someone that was taken to Amsterdam by Swiss Air on just mere personal recognition with his iconic white hair wen Abacha's heat became too much for him.And Swiss Air even released a statement that read thus : "We took W. S took to Amsterdam based on personal recognition from a neighboring African country" even wen he had no document to show who he was,now how many people re on the surface on the earth and yet one man still gets this kind of recognition globally. America and even the university where he is a visiting professor have more to gain from him than him from them. There re other countries like Canada that re higher on the Human Index on development than the U. S. A. I agree that America is a big deal to most struggling Nigerians bt for someone of his status, it's no big deal. Tina Turner relinquished her green card a long time ago for Switzerland's passport and sometime last week Steven Seagal became a citizen of both Russia and Serbia,and more people re more than willing to do same. If these people that I ve mentioned can do that so y can't W. S do same too if he so decides? -- And where did Tamuno David-West crawl out from all of a sudden after the last election fiasco. Everything Tam said they would do wen the A. P. C were seeking office then ve since been disowned by them ,he ought to still be hiding his face to prevent further embarrassment bt suddenly he crawls out from nowhere to comment on yet another controversial topic like this. 1 Like |

case scenario: prof tears his card and hurries down to nigeria. trump calls for his repartriation (sic) else other nigerian green card owners in the states would have theirs revoked. just the excuse trump needs to say africans are undeserving of aid. |

David west is talking? he should hide his head in shame.After all the things he said buhari will do if we vote him and reverse is what we are seeing.But soyinka has lost the his revered status since he started to mingle with all these politicians during the last elections.He has even refused to condemn this govt.even with glaring cases of human rights abuse and the refusal to obey court judgements. |
