He said more people are leaving the accountancy profession every year than entering it.
Omokri tweeted:
"Please fact-check me: In 2022, America lost 300,000 out of its 1.6 million accountants, whereas only 47,000 new accountants joined the profession. That ought to tell you that accountancy is on its way to becoming like Latin, a dead language."As a human accountant, there is nothing you can do that an AI cannot do better. Meanwhile, AI is getting better and smarter."Continuing, the estranged Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) member said major universities began labelling International Relations as obsolete as far back as 1991.
He questioned why anyone would devote four years of their life studying the course at Nigerian universities.

- Agriculture

- Engineering (all kinds)
- Geology

- Marketing
- Anatomy
- Banking and Finance
