Wole Soyinka Says He’ll Tear His Green Card On The 20th Of January

Is he for real? Nobel Laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka, has said he will tear up his Green Card on January 20, 2017, the day Donald Trump will be inaugurated as the 45th President of the United State.

Last week, Soyinka had, in annoyance with the possible victory of the Republican candidate, threatened to destroy the card.

In a chat with The INTERVIEW, when asked if he would still thrash his green card, the world-acclaimed writer and human rights activist said:  “Come January 20, 2017; watch my WOLEXIT!”

He said, “The possibility (of Trump’s victory) was looming nearer and nearer, getting scarier and scarier.

“As the election day approached, the specter became near palpable. I refused to switch on the television this morning until I had stiffened myself with a strong espresso. I felt disaster in my marrow.

“Trump’s wall is already under construction. Walls are built in the mind, and Trump has erected walls, not only across the mental landscape of America but across the global landscape. “I am glad you referred to the anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall – that was one anniversary in reversal!”
