Prof Soyinka Throws Away His U.S Green Card ( Wolexit)

                              Trump: Soyinka throws away his U.S. green card

Nobel laureate Wole Soyinka has thrown away his United States residency green card.Shortly before the United States presidential election, Prof. Soyinka had vowed to give up his permanent US
residency over a Donald Trump victory to protest against the Republican billionaire’s campaign promises to get tough on immigration.
 ”I have already done it. I have disengaged (from the United States). I have done what I said I would do,” the 82-year-old told AFP on the sidelines of an education conference at the University of Johannesburg.
 “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” — meaning his homeland Nigeria.
