The guy just stated facts and you went on the offensive, what has soyinka done for Nigeria if not cursing buhari in 1983, 2003, 2007, 2011 and blessing buhari in 2015. Americans don't take such a man serious.

I know you know, that soyinka will sing Donald Trumps praises in 2020, na him way.
What facts did he state please? These are all personal opinion... nothing to do with reality

my bro,Wole soyinka is not the only person that will say unfulfilled promise.so i dont know the reason u guys are deriding him.what we should dream of is for our names to be on spotlight instead of pokenosing what concern us not.does the card affect u?pls,stop being tribalist.
Aha! I have got you where I wanted; tribal abi? Okay. So this is why you can't, for once tell the truth.
You have on all occasions, on this issue breached intellectual procedure; you have been busy attacking personalities, instead of telling us the merits or objectives for
1. Swearing to tear his green-card if Trump triumphs.
2. Telling us that he has torn his green card.

i expect you to tell Soyinka to cut his head off.i believed he was ignorant when he said it,but,he has realized his mistake.bro,should he go to jail because of his tirade on Trump during the electioneering campaign?and to please the haters,he said he would leave america.so,if u were in his shoe,would u prefer to go to jail because of what you say ignorantly.Your clamour can never be fulfilled by Soyinka,you are just wasting ur time and his worthy life will only become a bane for you.So i will advise you to stop vituperation and face your challenges.thank you.

Far from it... making belittling and baseless statements is different... However I have had enough of Soyinka's debate for a day

From the majority of posts on the thread 3 things are obvious to me:

1. Integrity doesn't mean much to the children of these days. Soyinka said he was leaving US if Trump wins.(that is the meaning of the 'tear green card').

2. There is a certain disrespect for elders which I believe comes from a certain region which has ties to Uganda. Most of them, their grandfather is not yet 82 yet they spew insults on the honourable man. A man who spent 22months in jail for supporting their failed attempt at secession!

3. Education is really deficient in Nigeria. One would think with internet on their phone they can check information. If you ask many of what Nobel prize means, they come up blank. For your info if Prof applies for residency in any country in Europe he would get it IMMEDIATELY.

We don't believe prof and for Nigerians to belief, kindly show us the shredded or destroyed copy of the green card.
