Femi Kuti , son of Afrobeat Legend, Fela Anikulapo-
Kuti, has reacted to the statement made by Nobel
Laureate, Wole Soyinka about tearing his green card
over Donald trumps victory.
Recall that literary icon pledged to keep a promise he
had given a few days before the Nov. 8 election, when
he told students at Oxford University that he will cut his
green card and start packing up if Trump won the polls .
Soyinka also said he will leave the United States by
Jan. 20, 2017 , the day president-elect Donald Trump
will be inaugurated. The green card is the U.S.
permanent residence permit.
When asked for his opinion concerning Soyinka’s
‘Green Card tearing ceremony’ in an interview with
TheNetNg, Femi Kuti said: “He should quickly tear it.
“My question is why does he have a green card in the
first place?
“Africa is so beautiful, look at our landscape; there is so
much to see in Africa.”
The music legend added that he wondered why most
Nigerians took the American elections so personal, as
he felt the outcome doesn’t really affect him or any
average Nigerian as he felt the outcome doesn’t really affect him or any average Nigerian.
