Reno Omokri, a former aide to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, has listed courses Nigerians should study in universities.
Omokri said the courses he listed are relevant up to tomorrow.
He explained that the courses offer the best successful outcomes against time and money spent in a university from a cost-benefit analysis point of view.
The former presidential aide mentioned accounting, agriculture, banking and finance, engineering, medicine and surgery etc.
He listed all the courses via his X handle (formerly known as Twitter) @renoomokri on Monday, November 18.
- Accounting

“These are relevant degree courses up to tomorrow. From a cost-benefit analysis point of view, they offer the best successful outcomes against time and money spent in a university. I may have missed one or two. But not much.”
Omokri said many universities offer courses that are obsolete and irrelevant to current realities.
“The point is that many courses now offered by many universities are obsolete. According to research from the Pew Institute, some universities only offer such courses to raise their income. Many, including Oxford and Cambridge, are shutting down some out-of-date departments.”
Man lists “useless courses” to study in university
Meanwhile, Legit reported that a Nigerian man simply identified as Brooda John, tagged some courses as “useless” to study in universities in the country.
He listed law, microbiology, biochemistry, agriculture, sociology, political science, business administration, English language, etc. as the “useless’ courses.
According to Brooda John, the courses are useless because they are not worthy to be studied in Nigeria.
