U.S presidential election but unfortunately for him,Donald Trump won
it.
Trust Nigerians.They criticized him saying he must tear it.
Soyinka spoke on the matter saying he would tear the green card on the
day trump would be sworn in.
Despite that,he is still been heavily criticized.
Reacting to the attack, the playwright, in a statement he signed
titled, "Red card, green card– Notes towards the management of
hysteria", said he would carry out his threat but not at a time fixed
by his critics.
According Soyinka, those asking him to carry out his acclaimed threat
were ignorant of whatever they comment on. He said,
"Let me end with a Red Card to those noisome creatures, the nattering
nit-wits of Internet: maybe Trumpland is not as despicable as the
Naijaland you impose on our reality from your secure cesspits
of anonymity.
Go back to school. Your problem is ignorance, ignorance of whatever
subject you so readily comment upon. Learn to study your subject
before opening up on issues beyond your grasp.
Sometimes you make one feel like swapping one green for another, out
of embarrassment for occupying the same national space as you.''
'
If it even becomes convenient to bring it forward, I intend to do so,
but please don't come at me with plaints of time imprecision.
I never discussed it with you, nor invited you to a private decision
whose execution was already in the making.
Do not try to browbeat me. It's a waste of time, all you have to do is
immerse yourselves in my antecedents. It will not attempt to deal with
the notion of an exit time-table as conceived by others.''
