Nobel laureate and revered playwright, Prof. Wole Soyinka has said he will hold a private funeral on January 20 when United States President-elect, Donald Trump will be taking over from Barrack Obama as the country’s 45th President.
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.
Recall that the respected laureate had promised to destroy his green card should the republican candidate, Donald Trump wins the US presidential election.
However, Soyinka made true his intention on December 1 when he said he has destroyed his green card.
He also said Nigerians did not have the right to query his personal decision to tear his US green card.
