Why have so few read Soyinka? And can we find hope through his cynical dramas? I admit I am a victim of the myth-making around me which has made Soyinka and other African writers largely invisible.

Wole Soyinka says U.S. revokes his entry visa
Key Points
Nobel laureate Wole Soyinka (Akinwande Oluwole Babatunde Soyinka) speaks today. He says the United States revoked his travel visa. He reveals the move at a Lagos media briefing.

The case comes amid recent U.S. visa revocations. Officials sometimes act without public disclosure of full grounds. He says he will seek clarity through proper channels.
What Soyinka says so far
His visa was a B1/B2 for business travel. He says a notice arrived on October twenty three. He earlier declined a request for a re-interview appointment. He says the invite sought a full re-interview.
He insists he holds no crime record in any place. He asks if he ever misbehaved to the United States. He says “I have no visa,” during the briefing.
How visa rules may apply
It is a B1/B2 class for visits and meetings. Such visas face revocation under State Department rules. Officials may cite general discretion in such reviews. Lawyers can seek review or apply for fresh waivers.
Revoked visas can be reconsidered after extra checks. Applicants sometimes attend fresh interviews for status updates. Consulates may suggest routes for lawful travel neùeds. Wait times often depend on local resource levels.
Soyinka keeps a calm tone toward U.S. officials. He says relations remain polite despite the new bar. See the U.S. mission visa ban warning for background.
He told hosts abroad to pause any travel plans. He says those with invites should avoid new bookings. He adds that people can find him in Lagos.
Soyinka has long ties with American schools and groups. He has taught and spoken widely across many states. He says past relations with officials were always polite. He values dialogue and fair process, he adds.
The briefing held at Kongi’s Harvest Gallery, Freedom Park. He invited group hosts to suspend any U.S. events. He thanked supporters for patience while he seeks answers. He urged calm while the process runs its course.
In September he received a recall for a re-interview. He first thought the notice was a fake letter. He later confirmed the letter came from the mission.
