Thursday, November 6, 2025 - Nobel laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka, has claimed he saw the mass revocation of visas and green cards by the President Donald Trump administration coming.
He stated this in an interview published by BBC News Pidgin
on Facebook on Wednesday.
Recall that Soyinka’s visa was recently revoked by the US.
But the respected writer and author has insisted he is not
shocked by Trump’s actions.
Soyinka said, “This is a petty-minded dictator, you see how
he deals with his objects of hate.
“We saw that dark side of the American side. There were more
killings, extrajudicial killings by the police of black people, of minorities,
during that build-up, during the campaign, and on account of hate rhetoric, the
hate rhetoric of this individual.
“I saw it and I said, listen very carefully — and you can go
and check this –I said, ‘When that man comes to power, the first thing he will
do is cancel even the green cards’.”
