        @ma_Ndosi Eerrmm...so many of our Pan-African elites R citizens of the world who carry foreign passports (American, British etc).

        Shouldn't Soyinka and other Nigerians with PhDs be ASHAMED for not improving the lives of ordinary Nigerians? #TearYourGreenCard

        They will learn that Trump will bring disaster to US economy -- partly because of reducing immigration & foreign links

        Very true. As UK under Brexit. Not just saying this as you're Canadian but your young PM Trudeau showing us a greater way.

        I understand the sentiment, but Soyinka is only hurting himself by doing so. There are smarter ways to dissent.
