"I Mourn The Death Of Nigeria's Common Sense" - Prof. Wole Soyinka

Nobel laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka, who spoke in Lagos on Monday, explained that the funeral is not to mourn with the citizens of the US over their choice of president but to mourn the death of Nigeria’s common sense.


“Our common sense is totally lost. I am embarrassed sometimes that I occupy the same nation space with some people,” he said.

He also said Nigerians don't have any right to make him tear his green card, he initially said he will tear his green card if Donald Trump wins the presidential election. Immediately after Donald Trump won, most Nigerians have been asking him to fulfill his half baked pledge.
