Wole Soyinka with another big talk again, says he'll hold a private funeral the day Trump is inaugurated

Wole Soyinka

Wole Soyinka has resorted to transferring his frustration to the Nigerian public for making a promise that he found difficult to fulfil.

Respected writer and Nobel laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka, says he will hold a private memorial service on January 20 when United States President-elect, Donald Trump, is initiated as President.

Soyinka, who talked in Lagos on Monday, clarified that the burial service is not to grieve with the subjects of the US over their decision of president yet to grieve the passing of Nigeria's judgment skills.

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

He additionally said Nigerians did not have the privilege to question his own choice to tear his US green card, which he later said, rather than tearing it, he ‘threw’ it away.
