Nobel laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka, who spoke in Lagos on Monday, explained that the funeral is not to mourn with the citizens of the US over their choice of president but to mourn the death of Nigeria’s common sense.
“Our common sense is totally lost. I am embarrassed sometimes that I occupy the same nation space with some people,” he said. He also said Nigerians did not have the right to query his personal decision to tear his US green card.

This man is over exaggerating his importance. At least respect the Americans who chose Donald Trump. Do you think you are the only human being who was created with brains? Those who voted for Donald Trump have brains too. Why don't you help Nigeria to become a better play? Why did you obtain a green card in the first place to be able to live in American? How many Americans come after a paper to stay in Nigeria? Stop over shooting yourself. Who cares if you never step in America again?
why did he accept the green card in the first place? it didn't go in his favour so he is angry. "odabo"
WHO CARES ABOUT YOUR TEARING OF YOUR GREEN CARD? NO WONDER YOU ARE FROM NIGERIA. PURE BLACKMAN. BOKO HARAM WILL CATCH UP WITH YOU IN YOUR NATIVE COUNTRY. WAIT AND SEE IF YOU WILL HAVE PEACE IN YOUR OWN COUNTRY.
Alata Yaw Soyinka you have more to loose than Donald Trump, because many universities in the US invite you often as a visiting lecturer. Now that you have destroyed your green card you have to pass through many huddles to get a visa to the US,The man you hate will be in power and I bet you he is going to win the next election because the citizens of US are tired of the political correctness of the politicians in the country.The corrupt system at the white house.Anyway did you want that criminal woman to win power
