Wole Soyinka reportedly fulfills promise to tear US 'green card' over Donald Trump's election win

Nobel prize-winning author Wole Soyinka today revealed that he has fulfilled his pledge to throw away his US residency green card if Donald Trump won the presidential election. 

"I have already done it, I have disengaged from the United States. I have done what I said I would do," Soyinka told AFP on the sidelines of an education conference at the University of Johannesburg. "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."

However, Soyinka said he would not discourage others from applying for a green card. "It's useful in many ways. I wouldn't for one single moment discourage any Nigerians or anybody from acquiring a green card... but I have had enough of it," he said.

Kanye's step brother finally speaks, claims the rapper is 'mentally exhausted & probably feeling depressed'

Hal Carmichael, whose mother Cheryl was married to Kanye’s father, has spoken out about over Kanye’s hospitalisation. Although Hal has not seen Kanye since 2014, their families reportedly remain close and he even attended his wedding to Kim in Italy.

Hal, who lives in San Antonio, Texas, spoke exclusively to The Sun UK...

According to him;

“No one thought Paris would happen in a million years and now he’s seen it happen to Kim, it’s traumatising. Ye is tired, he’s hurt, he feels betrayed and he’s probably feeling depressed. “It’s like who can he trust? You can’t trust anyone, even the people you’ve been paying to protect you. They haven’t been doing their jobs correctly. I think Kanye got to a point when he was fearing for his life and for his family’s safety because of what went down in Paris – I think it took a toll on him. He ends up walking about worrying and thinking, who’s going to do what to me?”
