Wole Soyinka Blasts Trump Policies by SalamRushdie(op): 10:27am On Apr 10, 2025
Nobel laureate, Prof Wole Soyinka, says he feels saddened by happenings in the United States, where Donald Trump is in the saddle as President.

Soyinka, who had in 2016 threatened to shred his green card if Trump won the election and became President, remarked: “It’s one of the saddest developing phenomena that I know of.”

I just feel very, very sad that what’s happening in the States should be happening in such a potentially progressive country,” the nonagenarian world-acclaimed writer said in a conversation with freelance arts journalist, Laura Collins-Hughes, published in the New York Times.

This hypocrite has deliberately refused to criticize Tinubus bad policies for two years has suddenly found his voice against Donald Trump's policies that's are just 6 days old .

Prof is sad over Trump policies, - that's why he spoke out; and happy with Tinibu's policies- that's why he can't speak out about issues at home. The double face stinks to heaven.

Well said professor, some Fools criticized tinubu for his reform but accept a barbaric trump reform.

The beast knows his time is short.
Re: Wole Soyinka Blasts Trump Policies by RuggedBiafran:
The celebrated NOBLE FRAUD called Soyinka is lamenting foolishly as expected, but is quiet about the humongous disaster he blatantly supports in NIGERIA.

THAT is why TRUMP BLACKLISTED him from coming to America. He must quench in NIGERIA... Nonsense

Americans LOVE TRUMP...that he HATEs
NIGERIANS HATE TINUBU...that he LOVEs.

Such a despicable person, claiming to be an advocate of progress.



Typical breed of a treacherous Region cool

You have been deceived already. Evil is evil. Anything that when spoken off elicits resentment shall be condemned.

But silent on Tinubu’s policies.

Well done
Re: Wole Soyinka Blasts Trump Policies by mrvitalis(m): 11:27am On Apr 10, 2025
Honestly the Yoruba race would never be looked at the same after Tinubu leaves power


I hope my Igbo race don't decend to this level of hypocrisy n pettiness because of 4/8 years of Presidency

Old cultist. You have not blasted the drug baron you support, it is a man in his country that is your problem. Don't worry, Fulani herdsmen will one day visit you in that your place so that you will feel what the citizens are feeling.

He should have begin his criticism with his country first. Your country is on fire, you want to quench another man's own. What a misplaced priority. grin
Re: Wole Soyinka Blasts Trump Policies by Justnation: 1:16pm On Apr 10, 2025
Look at this confused hypocrite, you have no mouth to condemn your brother and associate who has destroyed Nigeria, you are putting dirty mouth to talk about the great Donald J Trump.

Re: Wole Soyinka Blasts Trump Policies by Racoon(m): 1:35pm On Apr 10, 2025
Saddened by developments in Trump's America but comfortable with the unfolding calamities being inflicted back home by your kinsman. Prof Bolaji Akinyemi, Wole Soyinka, Itse Sagay among many hypocrites were really demystified in 2023.

The Policies have helped the U.S Dollar and brought down the Chinese Yuan of which Trump is proud of. grin

Oga go siddon one side.

Wetin concern this one with U.S when Tinubu dey your backyard.

Wole Soyinka that tore his Green Card is still obsessed with America when Abacha part two is in Nigeria.

He can't blast the incompetent and corrupt clown in Aso Rock because they have named National Theatre after him

The hypocrisy of these fake intellectuals
Re: Wole Soyinka Blasts Trump Policies by Mabuggi88: 2:13pm On Apr 10, 2025
Why not give Trump one or Two years?
Region of double standard.
Meanwhile it's not like your financier in Nigeria is doing well, your continuing support for him and his non yielding policies have ruined this Nation to rubbles
