I'll be surprised if he reapplies.

I mean what's the essence of shunning the Embassy's invitation earlier, only to reapply later?

Baba should maintain his ,steeze' and call their bluff to the end.
And deliver his papers and speeches via Zoom after all Elon Musk’s Starlink is good everywhere especially the isolated bush Wole Soyinka lives.

He needs the money for what? Did he chase money even when he was younger? Do you see him chasing luxury?
Some of you just talk as if you have no capacity to think at all.
You disappointed me highly when you became abusive after your string of questions 👎🏿. Anyways, WS like everyone else needs money. The jeep he drove in his younger days while at Ife cost money. The isolated bush house he built and lives in when he is not at his beloved USA costs money to build and keep. Like Fela Ransome-Kuti whose best food is custard pie, he makes pretence to being loathsome to the world of the Caucasians! WS is a well-known wine connoisseur. His taste for expensive and choice red-wine and Cuban cigars all conveyed and kept in well-worn wooden cases are not unknown and that costs a fortune as well! My friend, WS needs money!

When was Trump convicted

WS is clearly overtaken by the drowning man’s syndrome! Each straw is a mighty Iroko clutched at to avert drowning in the murky waters of pretense his life has been for this long!

Nobel laureate Professor Wole Soyinka has hinted that he might reapply for U.S. permanent residency following the conviction of President Donald Trump.

According to a report on Tuesday, October 28, 2025, the renowned playwright made this known in a statement issued on Friday, where he reflected on the global attention that surrounded his earlier decision to destroy his U.S. green card after Trump’s 2016 election victory.

What this thread captures is the nature of Eboes

In their minds they are catching cruise with deliberate falsification

When the consequences come they will feign surprise

And for Cuban cigar and fine wine he would betray his own principles and cower before some foreign tyrants?
Is there anything in his past that made you think he might behave this way?
I apologize if you feel offended by my previous post. Not everyone would prostrate for a cow so that he may get some beef to eat.

You must be the one feeding him and paying his bills. Which other work you give am? Those international conferences and lectures keep him afloat financially. You think he travels to the US to go deliver free lectures? grin The same way you will probably assume Sowore is fighting for your freedom from bad government policies. grin Meanwhile the guy dey gather him daily bread. cheesy

Don't be fooled by the austerity facade prof sells the public. Dude has been living off hard currencies since he became an international literary icon. Undermine what dollars can do at your own risk. cheesy

You're nothing. You don't matter Mister professor of bigotry. You don't even exist as you're not even on the table as America's problem. You're contributing nothing. Again, you're nothing..

Is it a curse or blessing that many Nigerians don't start running until the rain start falling on them? Uncle Wole is beginning to realize that Trump is not Biden. He's now thinking or reapplying for what he openly destroyed 🤔

It seems it'strue that old age really changes people.

This man is shameless

After destroying your green card because of hate for Donald Trump , he still wants to reapply for another under the president he hated so much .

This old baba is foolish

Soyinka threatened to destroy his US documents in public view. The man was reminded by the US government that the document is not his personal property to destroy. Wole will not apply for a US permanent residency or passport. I do not know what these bloggers smoke before they post. Did they stop using their supplier from Colombia?
