Wole Soyinka - A man that keeps his word! Wole Soyinka confirms he destroyed his green card after Trump win

Nobel laureate, Wole Soyinka will add to his accolades, the title 'a man who keeps his words'!

Remember that in November, Soyinka said he would destroy his green card and he got a lot of stick for it mostly from Nigerians?

Well, after threatening to do it a week before the US presidential elections last November,  Wole Soyinka has confirmed he has destroyed his green card because Donald Trump won.  

In an interview with the Atlantic on Tuesday, Soyinka confirmed he had followed through on his pledge to destroy his green card if Trump won.

Soyinka stated that he had made his green card “inoperable”. “I don’t have strong enough fingers to tear up a green card. As long as Trump is in charge, if I absolutely have to visit the United States, I prefer to go in the queue for a regular visa with others. I’m no longer part of the society, not even as a resident.”

I guess he has made his stand for what he truly believed in!

Now what?
