Nigeria’s Nobel
laureate, Professor Wole Soyinka has finally destroyed his US residency green
card and he confirmed it. He said he has fulfilled his earlier pledge to
destroy his residency permit and abandon the United States if Donald Trump won
the presidential election.
“I have already
done it, I have disengaged (from the United States). I have done what I said I
would do.
“I had a horror of
what is to come with Trump… I threw away the (green) card, and I have
relocated, and I’m back to where I have always been,” BBC quoted Soyinka as
saying at an education conference at the University of Johannesburg, South
Africa.
At the same time he
said he would not discourage others from applying for a green card.
“It’s useful in
many ways. I wouldn’t for one single moment discourage any Nigerians or anybody
from acquiring a green card… but I have had enough of it,” he said.
