Following the successful inauguration of President Joe Biden on Wednesday,  Nobel Laureate, Prof Wole Soyinka ruled out plans to apply for his US Green Card any time soon.

Recall that about four/five years ago, the octogenarian threatened to shred his US Green Card should former President Donald Trump win the 2016 elections.

Following the win,  Soyinka said: “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 threw away the (green) card, and I have relocated, and I’m back to where I have always been” — meaning his homeland Nigeria.

However having successfully witnessed the ousting of former President Trump from the White House after a horrific end to his fou year tenure as the POTUS, the world would expect Soyinka to make move on his residency in the US.

Speaking in a recent interview, Soyinka admitted that he is already trapped in Nigeria.

“Donald Trump and his constituency lynched George Floyd and many more of his race. Here, we lynch school pupils, traumatize them for life, sell the females – yet again – into slavery.”

“That the same unrepentant misfit should earn the votes of nearly half the votes of America’s supposedly mature, supposedly history conscious population – not counting the unsolicited votes from his Nigerian slave plantation – is too unsettling. I am already trapped in one shithole country, why should I rush to restore the duplication of my status?”

“No, I shall not be applying for restoration of the Green Card any time soon. One Green document will more than suffice!”
