        #Soyinka He's a failed clown from a failed state. Trump will never notice him. Maybe Bob Dylan would

        - @ProfWSoyinka is wrong to go low! Brexit & Trump are eye opener & part of the problem is education. A Prof shouldn't go so low!

        Trump's win was validated by the November polls. Wole Soyinka must man up & embrace objectivity.
