Renowned political and social activist, Reno Omokri has advised his social media followers to channel their effort into learning a new skill.
In one of his regular posts on Twitter, the legal practitioner said it better off to be an illiterate with skills than to be a PhD holder without a job.
According to him, a skilled illiterate can feed himself, whereas a doctorate degree holder without a job cannot eat his degree.

He wrote:
“Is an unemployed PhD better than a skilled illiterate who can feed himself? You can’t eat a PhD or spend it. Go to school. Get your degree. But realise that a PhD that you can’t use to improve your life is just a decoration. Rise by learning a skill.”
