Wole Soyinka says he will tear up his green card if Trump wins

Wole Soyinka, the Nobel literature laureate who currently lives in the US and works as a scholar-in-residence at New York University’s Institute of African American Affairs told students at Oxford University that if Donald Trump is elected president of the United States next week, he will leave the country.
While giving the seminar to the college students, he said:
“If in the unlikely event he does win, the first thing he’ll do is to say that all green-card holders must reapply to come back into the US. Well, I’m not waiting for that.”
“The moment they announce his victory, I will cut my green card myself and start packing up."

Is this the main open photograph of the Samsung System S8? Coming Walk 2

Image
Coming March 29, source says With the  Galaxy Note 7  gaining distance in the rear view mirror, both Samsung and mobile enthusiasts alike have  turned their attention to  “the next big thing.” Barring an unforeseen catastrophe of similar proportion, Samsung’s next major release will be the Galaxy S8. Leaks and rumors regarding the upcoming smartphone have topped headlines in recent weeks. In retrospect, they all culminated to a  Twitter post  earlier today from serial product leaker Evan Blass which allegedly showcases the Galaxy S8 in all its glory.
