Baba alatenuje, go and take a seat in the back and let us hear words

Someone should remind him of the green card he tore

Baba actually did this in protest of how Trump had been treating foreigner and migrants in the USA.
How I wish a lot of you can watch his press briefing about the whole thing.

Baba doesn't need America for anything. Otherwise he wouldn't have torn his visa in 2017...

Americans are the ones rather thronging to his house in Abeokuta for tourism...

dou Tinubu has never stepped foot in US before during his campaign and after he is president. Tinubu himself maybe even permanently banned a long time ago

You Criticised Trump. Have you forgotten?

Someone should remind Soyinka that he tore his Green Card when Trump won that first election.

We should know that certain decisions we took in the past could haunt us in the future.

Why is he crying? I thought he was invited for interview and he said he won't go? I thought he said he will tear his green card if Trump emerges as president? So why all the tears now he has been banned?
He should relax till after Trump must have completed his tenure.

Werey dey copy liberal democrats like say you be citizen. You can’t get away with what they can get away with. Make liberals whine you finish, you go dey think say you be one of them.

I thought his supporters said that it didn't pain him. Why did he call press conference?

BlackViper:
You're 100% right, but don't you find it embarrassing that our corrupt politicians can visit the United States, but our only Nobel Prize winner cannot?

Na turn by turn. They want to start with those who enthroned the disasters and then , the disasters themselves.

Without the disaster makers, there would be no disasters.

Was it not embarrassing that a man that should be as sophisticated and enlightened like Soyinka, would throw his weight behind these things in power today?

I have been personally disappointed

Baba doesn't need America yet he has been crying everywhere since he got banned?

Heffalump:
May be he thought it was a Ghanaian passport he tore in 2017. If not Dementia that's worrying him, tearing a nation's immigration document that's a symbol of pride is sacrilege! He's here asking questions that he hasn't been caught for wrong doings. No wonder he supported a drug baron who snatched the ballot boxes and ran with it.

Soyinka will be remembered for his double standards, who failed to uphold the dignity and social values that embolden his popularity in his prime days, the same qualities that earned him the Nobel Prize many years ago. Truly, the old man is on the path of irreversible psychological and social decline. It's a pity.

You dey reason person wey follow start secret cult for schools?

Has prof forgotten how he tore his US Green Card? You will always support evil govt in Nigeria to run to the US.

madridguy:
Which shege is that? He was invited for a program and let the people know his reason of not coming. Do you expect him to be crying?

It pained him. A quiet letter to the people who invited him is enough. The press conference was due to the sefia pains he is passing through due to the visa cancellation. He wants to sway the public and make them vilify the US government.

If its not on GOOGLE SEARCH, baba no worries . YOU HAVE DONE NOTHING

Bros leave talk.

It pained Soyinka deeply. He is in sefia pains. His ego has been crushed. Leave matter bros.

Why call to press conference? To sway public opinion?

Jayhome24:
Sir honestly if I were you I will just ignore the attention seeking govt running US currently and that was why the rest of the world going to Russia to formed ally dumping the US.

Sir you are already over 90 years of age
in real sense what do you need US Visa or whatever for? You have achieved everything, though you are not a millionaire but you are not poor, you eat 3 Square meal, you get cars, you get your own house and living comfortable so whatelse?

Ignore them sir same attention seeking foolishness made the Republican members turned CAN spokesperson and suddenly cares about blacks in Africa whereas their country blacks are suffering racially on daily basis but they focus on Nigeria fake genocide noise.

Be deceiving yourself na

Nwaikpe:
Again, here they come.

playing the victim

Don't mind him

Ojogbon Soyinka is already 89 years old, with great achievements so US visa is nothing to him.

Baba knows better and my opinion doesn't count.

Goodlady:
The issue of him tearing card. Do you think it'spropriate?

Why this is making headlines is nothing short of flimsy....yes, he's a Nobel laureate and whatnot, but hey, he's the one that made a public show of tearing his hreeen card. Why is he now making noise about the US's actions?
When he should have made the "right noise" about how the Nigerian populace are down because of the policies of the APC govt, he did nothing. Who gives a r*t's ass that the US have done what they want in their own interest.
Mr Old man, go and be telling stories to your great grand kids and let us hear word. The US is not your country.

And he didn't see another space to call his useless press briefing but freedom park. Same place he & his gworo chewing brown teeth Fela's met to protest removal of subsidy by GEJ regime.

He supported a criminal who forfeited close to $500,000 to the American government, proceeds of drug trafficking, to become president having rigged himself into office. He said nothing because he was his tribesman. With all the misrule by same man, he still says nothing. If it were another person destroying the country as Kilimbu is doing & same person named a national monument after him, he would have rejected it citing morality & principle. But since Na him brother & it's awalokun, no comment, no protest.

Let him go and meet his fellow Ronus & useless urchins let them give him visa to America. When their hired tugs were misbehaving & destroying properties & he was silent, does he think Americans are not observing his complicity?
Let the tribalists

Let the tribalists face his palavar & leave us alone.

SeverusSnape:
You never see anything... Mtchew

The fact that he, as a Nobel laureate, supports useless successive governments is enough, let alone tearing your green card.
Laureate wey no get sense.

Must everyone dey support your obingo? For sure i know a post from a bitter obingo when i see one. Ain’t dumb, you are just pained because someone choose who they choose to support for whatever reason, be its selfishness or not, everyone have their right to support who ever they so wish to i no know why it dey pain you for anú.s now go and drink sugar mixed with honey and paracetamol, maybe you wee feel well ok?

Yeah, anyway he doesn't need it anymore he is 91 years old give or take he has atmost 10 years more to live.

Of all the travels Tinubu, had, have you heard that he entered the United States?

It's good for him, hypocrites will definitely be served.

But why destroy green card

Prof sorry it is retirement from American government fights for your benefits.It is over 35 years so you’re qualified for entitlements as America oldies.

But you tore your citizenship card na. You have deleted your American citizenship so they ought to revoke your visa.

Why thinking so far to see if you have done anything wrong. You tore your green card issued to you by the USA in the open just because Donald Trump won the Presidency in the year 2016. That was your first sin against US if we try and forget the verbal utterance you spurred out of your mouth against Trump at that time.

Despite all these mentioned above, USA still granted you a non immigrants Visa that you have been using to come to the USA eversince. No US government authority has bothered to look at your past sins. Presently, USA has started revocation of all 5 Years non immigrants Visa b1/b2 issued previously and they have been recalling people with such VISA tickets to come to the embassy for revalidation. You were called but bullshit them, sent a letter for revalidation but your rather insulted them to do their worst. Yesterday, they made a response to your garrulous attitudes and pride by revoking your Visa. Your Visa finally cancelled just as you instructed in your reply that they can do their worse.......therefore, Prof, why the news, why you dey shout up and down? USA no be like Naija where everything goes. Abeg, just rest and stop crying over another country's Visa rights....just see it as an opportunity for you to follow up closely with your brother, Tinubu...to govern your country in the right way, lessen the poverty among the citizens and get rid of the insecurity happening every where......it's another opportunity to do something great for Naija before you join your ancestors, Prof.......

Prof, when you tear your green card, it means you no longer want to have anything to do with the country.

USA just helped formalize the decision you took years ago. Nothing new here.

Welcome back to Nigeria Sir.

We must get Nigeria working
