Former presidential aide, Reno Omokri has said a bricklayer is more relevant than a sociologist.

The ex-presidential aide took to his page to share his opinion on the relevance of sociology in the year 2020.

According to Omokri, the return on investment for sociology is minimal, adding that it is a waste of time studying such course for four years in the higher institution.

"What is the relevance of sociology in the year 2020? The Return on Investment for such a course is minimal. In profit and loss accounting, reading sociology for 4 years is purely a loss, in terms of time and money. A bricklayer is more relevant!"

"I wouldn't agree less. But it can actually be a foundation to something. I actually have a friend or let's say two who studied sociology and I'm really glad the way their discipline shaped their thinking and how they approach certain things. They are on a second degree now tho."

Another Twitter user with the handle @Anikingsley3 wrote:

"I'm a sociologist by discipline.. And I'd say that one man's meat is another's poison. Sociology is a good course and enables one to relate and understand the society well. You can as well learn a trade for yourself because the country made it so and not the course itself."
