Nobel laureate, Professor Wole Soyinka has reportedly carried out his threat to throw away his United States residency green card and leave the country if Donald Trump defeats Hilary Clinton.
“I have already done it, I have disengaged (from the United States). I have done what I said I would do,” Soyinka was quoted as saying at a conference in South Africa.

“I had a horror of what is to come with Trump… I threw away the (green) card, and I have relocated, and I’m back to where I have always been,” added according to an agency report.
He however said he would not discourage others from applying for a green card.
