Apparently, in an interview, Nigeria's Nobel-Prize winning author Wole Soyinka said that he would leave the US on the day Donald Trump is inaugurated as president.
Prof. Soyinka promised last week that he would tear up his green card if Mr Trump were elected.
The green card is a permanent residence permit for the US - prized by many African immigrants to the US.
His comments emerged in a filmed conversation with students at Oxford University in the UK.
The famous author appeared to have been taking a swipe at Mr Trump over his radical stance on immigration.
Mr Soyinka is one of Africa's most celebrated literary figures. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1986 - becoming the first African to be honoured in that category.
