DailyCaller: The winner of the 1986 Nobel Prize for literature says he has fulfilled a pre-election promise to cut up his green card and leave the United States if Donald Trump was elected president.
“I have already done it, I have disengaged [from the United States]. I have done what I said I would do,” Wole Soyinka, an 82-year-old Nigerian poet and playwright, told Agence France-Presse at an education conference in South Africa on Thursday.
Well, buh-bye.
Barak Obama is living proof of the worth of a Nobel prize… rememkber?
A good start
Wole Soyinka? Oh No! Not him! How in the world have we done this to ourselves? Is there a way to reverse this? Should Trump concede?
Well, crap –
Looks like I picked the wrong week to be a connoisser of Nigerian pottery.
This indescribable loss really, really hurts. Really.
TTFNMF
I haven’t felt this bad since Paul Rubens was busted for giving himself a happy ending at an adult movie theater.
p.s. for those who can’t place the actor’s name,
his signature character role was Pee Wee Herman
Here is some of what Wole is denying we Americans by his departure
Peppers green and red—child—your tongue arch
To scorpion tail, spit straight return to danger’s threats
Yet coo with the brown pigeon, tendril dew between your lips.
bravo, bravo sir. WTF is this Nigerian scammer smoking
Did he leave a brown stain on Barry’s shorts?….you bet he did!…
First they came for the Nigerian poets but I didn’t care because I am not a Nigerian poet.
Then they came for the disgruntled Islamic Somali engineering students but I didn’t care because I didn’t attend Ohio State.
Where is this going? Beats me.
Not a complete disappointment. But was hoping it was about another worthless prize winner for when he and his family finally move t-f out of our Pennsylvania Ave. government housing.
So long @$$hole!
al, i think you meant pee wee spermin’
Sounds like he would have been deported anyway. Chow.
Not gonna happen. The liberals have put Nigerian poets and playwrights on the endangered species list. They’ve already formed a drum circle around him.
Hey, he can’t leave! This guy owes me 20% of the $31 million I helped him recover!
Good riddance!
Our Gain, Nigeria’s loss. tooo bad, sooo sad.
It’s a darn shame that both Barry & Hillary didn’t pledge to leave America if Trump won the election.
I’m sure many people would volunteer to help them pack. They’d even cage Barry’s little Iranian pet that’s been the WH for eight years for the journey.
Hey you deplorables, have some respect for Doctor Wole. After all he taught at N Y U, Harvard, and Yale. But could never master water faucets, cab rides, and air conditioning. That’s why he returned to the ould sod, to die in peace.
Sorry Tommy, We didn’t know he was your gynecologist. LOL.
write when you find work.
Not another Poet! At least Maya Angelou was nice enough to check-out early. Too soon?
ya know, there’s this old saying….
something like…..good riddance to bad garbage….
just might be applicable here…..
here’s hoping he’s not the last……looking for a tsunami of emigrants, based on their promises……
not expecting many of them to keep their word, of course…lying leftists have this weird tendency to lie…
fidel trudeau jr notwithstanding, our neighbors to the north are just a weebit more finicky about whom they allow into their country than we are…….
which should be a lesson to us……just as the border security on mexico’s SOUTHERN border should let us understand how mexico REALLY feels about BORDERS…….
just as long as they flow in the “correct” direction……
too bad our “freedom of the press” professionals can’t remember the POINT of the first amendment – which is that a WELL-INFORMED electorate is necessary for free and fair elections…..we’ve seen what happens when the “free press” decides that the electorate does NOT need to know the facts, that, in fact, they have colluded to support one candidate over the other – because OMG, TRUMP!!!!….but that was nothing compared to the way they presented their Messiah, the FIRST BLACK PRESIDENT….
there is no excuse for their corruption; it has been IN OUR FACE since the election of Ronald Reagan, and pretty visible to any one who was paying attention for years before that…
the Donald needs to revoke the credentials of any so-called “journalists” who take sides, who ask loaded questions, or who are in the pay of lobbyists or either party….these people are not journalists……they are moles….
i don’t like moles….
and by the way, powers booth was HOT….REALLY HOT….in the oldentimes…. 🙂
Dang, how can people type that much stuff? I’d forget what I was originally trying to say.
Never heard of him and I really don’t care,just get the hell out–NOW and take Rosie, Cher and Whoopi with you.
Oh damn, I was hoping it would be somebody important.
Who?
If you haul your ass back to Africa I will respect you from afar.
He’ll still collect his ‘benefits.’
Gee … now I got the sads … just like Mrs. Clinton …
Wole, Wole, Wole! Your name woulda been right up there with George Gordon’s if only you had had some semblance of poetic mastery! Back to Nigeria, I guess, where the izlamists can cut your fukkin head off.
A moment of silence, please, for the passing of a … what?
izlamo delenda est …
…also known as the “Dylan of Nigeria”.
I hope he’s the Pied Piper of Immigrants.
His leaving has no doubt raised the collective IQ’s of BOTH countries.
He’s a poet, but we don’t know it.
