Donald Trump winning the US presidency has prompted Nobel Laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka to give an indication that he will tear up his Green Card on January 20, 2017, the day Donald Trump will be sworn-in as the 45th President of the US.
The Nobel Laureate had last week threatened to destroy his green card with the possible victory of Republican’s Donald Trump ahead of Democrat’s Hillary Clinton.
Soyinka expresses his resentment at Trump’s emergence saying that it spelt trouble for humanity and promised to do as he said last week with the response.
“Come January 20, 2017; watch my WOLEXIT!”
By WOLEXIT, he seemed to be referring to his final ‘exit’ from the US, playing on Brexit, the expression referring to Britain’s historical exit from the European Union.
Although he said he was not too surprised that Trump won, he noted that his victory had brought an already teetering world closer to the precipice.
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!”
