Nobel laureate, Wole Soyinka has lashed out on his critics and Nigerians who have taken to the internet to troll over his vow to destroy his U.S. residency permit should Donald Trump emerge President.
In a report by The Cable, Soyinka said his critics should return to school as they are merely displaying crass ignorance.
In his words: "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 card for another, out of
embarrassment for occupying the same national space as you. But don't
get nervous or jumping too soon - The Nigerian passport is just as tough
to rip, physically, as is the Green Card," he said.
Soyinka
threatened to shred his U.S residency permit if Donald Trump emerged
winner of the the November 9, 2016 U.S. presidential election.
