Nigeria’s Nobel prize winner Professor Wole Soyinka has said he had fulfilled his promise to destroy his US residency green card and leave USA.
Prof. Soyinka said this on Thursday at
an education conference at University of
Johannesburg, South Africa.
Prof. earlier vows to destroy his US
resident green card and leave America if Republican candidate and American billionaire,
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.” Prof Soyinka
stated.
He further added “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,” Prof. Soyinka said
Prof. Soyinka has been lecturing at
many US universities including Harvard and Cornell universities for many years.
However, he encouraged Nigerians looking
for the green card to apply for it because it may be useful to them in many
ways.
“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 concluded
A man of his words.
