91-year-old, Nigerian author and Nobel Laurate, Wole Soyinka has linked his recent U.S visa revocation to his open criticism of President Donald Trump’s administration’s radical stance on immigration. Soyinka describes President Trump as a ‘petty dictator’ and compares his tactics to that of former Ugandan, dictator, Idi Amin.

IF YOU'RE NOT FORFILLING THE ( GREEN CARDS ) RULES THEN…… YOU…. TO EXPECT GREEN CARDS TO BE BE REMOVED….. GREEN CARDS ARE TO BE PERCEIVED AS … ADMINISTERED TO PEOPLE NOT BORN IN THE USA…. THEREFORE ARE REQUIRED TO REMAIN, AND STAY REMAINING TO THE GOVERNMENT LAW REMITES…… NO DIVERGENCES ARE ACCEPTABLE…… LAW ABIDING, KIND ONES KEEP THE GREEN CARD WHILST TROUBLE MAKING ROBBING ONES… LOOSE THE GREEN CARD…. AND CORRECTLY SO…..
thom in Scotland.
The way he acted in a America was extremely disrespectful to the USA.🇺🇸
Totally disgraceful destroying his green card, when people wait years to get one.
With all due respect to Nigeria 🇳🇬
he should try to improve things in his own country instead of attacking the President of other.
It's as if he expects special treatment.
If an American was living and working in Nigeria, 🇳🇬 deliberately destroyed his
e-CERPAC (A card allowing the right to live work and do business in Nigeria)
and spoke harshly critically about Nigerian President Bola Ahmed Tinubu repeatedly and publicly would do you think would happen him ?
At the very least his right to live and work as a permanent resident in Nigeria would be affected.🤔
Isn't the 1st lady there on an Einstein visa 🤔
People have a right to their perspective, that's what makes the world go round 🎉
Totally agree with him..Trump is a horrible Man..sometimes I wonder if he is the devil.
The BBC should be held accountable for US Election interference. They edited Trump's Jan. 6th speech and aired it two weeks before the 2020 elections. If that's not interference I don't know what is.
BBC 😂😂😂😂 🤡 show
Our beautiful mind Africa, she will pride of you
Trump is just a matter of little time, the Dems are coming back. Give Trump a try is just a chaos and all the fights he started is a fight that he will never win.
But he, Soyinka, support the vilest of men in Nigeria politics who have and are still doing worse things than Trump
Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved. It's time to make amends with your God than to focus on other people. Remember,it is appointed unto men once to die and after that the judgement. Jesus Loves you. ❤❤❤
Kudos 👏 our Nobel laureate sir !
All the while, a professor can teach a classroom from thousands of miles away…calling him a dictator is giving him too much credit…at least those bad guys have motives, plans, and execute (no pun intended) well. This pdf is just a moron in its purest form…when ppl used the word “simple”, they meant folks like him; literally operating on 1 neuron.
You are also a bigot. You criticise both Buhari and Jonathan’ Gov because they are not Yorubas. Where is the criticism of the worst Nigerian president Tinubu.
Fix your own countries
Soyinka AKA The Human Dandelion.
Such a world treasure
The president of a country banned a foreigner for engaging in mass political criticism whilst benefitting from that country's infrastructure and public spending. This isn't news.
He said he would tear his visa!.
He of all people should know that words have consequences
This man is right!
Comparing Trump to an African dictator is just not it Mr Soyinka! Two different scenarios. Idi Amin led a campaign of great terror murdering people, little freedoms.. Americans are privileged they're dealing with their own meltdown
Remove what is in your eyes before you remove other person's own. Focus your energy on Nigeria, where we have leaders who merit your criticism .
