|October 30, 2025
Author Wole Soyinka of Nigeria says he had recently compared Trump to Idi Amin.
Nobel Prizewinning author Wole Soyinka said his nonresident visa to enter the USS. had been rejected, addingthat he believes it may be because he recently criticized President Trump.
The Nigerian author, 91, won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1986, becoming the first African to do so.
Speaking to the press on Tuesday, Soyinka said he believed it had little to do with him and was instead a product of the United States’ immigration policies. He said he was told to reapply if he wished to enter again.
