SKILLS RATHER THAN JUST DEGREES.

My Submission as a linguist.

I understand how disheartening it can be to see people criticize others without bothering to understand the content of their work. Recently, I came across a many posts about a book " Skills rather than just Degrees" written by Professor Issa Pantami, the Former Minister of Digital Communication in the Administration of President Muhammad Buhari, and it's been the subject of much debate on social media. It's unfortunate that some people, particularly those in the academic community, have chosen to attack the person of Isa Pantami and question his award of professorship by FUTO, instead of focusing on the content of his book.

However, I believe that it's important to criticize Pantami based on the content of his book, rather than on how he got his professorship title. We should aim to offer constructive feedback to improve the work. Moreover, it's far better to be positive towards our fellow human beings who have done something to help our society grow.

The title of the book, "Skills rather than just degrees," resonates with the current reality in Nigeria. The book will raise important questions about the value of degree certificates, particularly in social sciences and humanities courses, and the importance of acquiring skills to remain relevant in today's world. I plan to read the book myself, based on the title alone, and I believe it's a must-read for every Nigerian youth.

I commend Professor Issa Pantami for putting up a debate challenge, and I am surprised that no one has shown readiness to engage him. Those who are shouting that he is not a professor should debate with him and see the difference. Every book has its commendations and criticisms, and it's important to focus on the content and offer constructive feedback to improve the work.

In conclusion, let's learn to focus on the content of people's work and offer constructive feedback rather than criticize individuals based on personal biases. We need to embrace skills and acquire them to remain relevant in today's world. Let's be empathetic towards one another and strive to make our society a better place.
My only concern is the title of the book it's should be "skills rather than only degree" and not "skills rather than JUST degree. I mean Professor Isa Ali Pantami should understand and recognize the value of formal education.

The fact that he used the word "just" to describe degrees could be seen as undermining the hard work and dedication that students put into their studies.

It's important for professors to lead by example and to promote the importance of academic excellence, while also acknowledging the importance of practical skills.

Thank you


Everyone

“Every minute someone leaves this world behind. Age has nothing to do with it.
We are all in "the line" without knowing it.
We never know how many people are before us.
We can not move to the back of the line.
We can not step out of the line.
We can not avoid the line.

So while we wait in line:
Make moments count. Make priorities.Make the time.
Make your gifts known. Make a nobody feel like a somebody.
Make your voice heard. Make the small things big.
Make someone smile. Make the change. Make love.
Make peace.
Make sure to tell your people they are loved.
Make sure to have no regrets. Make sure you are ready…”“Every minute someone leaves this world”

May Allah grant us good ending.

BEFORE YOU CAST YOUR STONE

B4 u judge me, take a minute walk in my shoes
Maybe then you'll know better,
Take a Walk in my life experience for a minute
And tell me if u can do better.

B4 u cast ur stone
Think about the pains, the struggles
Feel the weight of my burden
The pain from my scars,
The times I've fallen
The times I was sad

B4 u criticize
Hear 👂 my story
Despite the thousand fall
I still stand tall
Amidst the storms
I give my all,
for I'm all I've got and I built my walls.

Before u judge me open ur heart,
Understand my journey, each part,
and tell me which part u can handle better.
For u have absolutely no idea what it costs to be me.

The EFCC has every right to arrest anyone who's a cybercriminal or even a suspect; If the OAU students are innocent, they can press charges when released. Owing a laptop, an iPhone or car isn't a crime, but let's not pretend like yahoo isn't rampant & a big problem in Nigeria.

I am a blessed sanctified land,
that Allah himself sanctified
I am the land Allah mentioned in the Qur'an
I am the land on which the second masjid on earth was built.

Have you forgotten me?
From me the messenger Muhammad (SAW) was taken up the heaven to meet Allah.
From me one prayer is equal to 250 prayers.
From me the messenger Muhammad (SAW) lead all the prophets in prayer.
From me the angels of Allah have spreed their wings over until today.
To me you faced in prayer for 16 months before turning toward the KA'BAH.

Have you forgotten the land ?
The land on which the prophet took a cup of milk, as a result, his ummah were guided to right path.
The land on which Prophet Isah son of Maryam said the best of the inhabitants of the earth will reside

This is me the land
This is me the land on which Prophet Isah son of Maryam will kill the biggest fitnah on earth the Dijaal.
This is me the land on which the prophet Musa requested Allah to let him die close to it.

I am AQSA
My guardians are crying in trying
Standing on the front lines with their lives, families and never give up the fighting,
against those who unimaginably transgressing
All human decency.

While you listen to the tunes, made by ignorant fools,
Israel blocked the UN from delivering food,
They'll bring in the troops and you won't even glimpse at the news.

My Guardians are not TERRORIST
This is for the child that is searching for an answer.
Each day you see more sadness grow
Always sounds of bombs and cries,
ruins are left, under darkened skies.

Everyday my Guardians are sent away,
They are told they can't stay, no more delay.
Against them, they use so much force,
Leaving them with sorrow, and much remorse.
They may break their homes, but not their will,
In their hearts, their hope is still.
Night is dark, but day will come,
End of suffering, and they'll overcome.

O you who reads and listen, you know about the Zionist lobby,
But u put money in their pock.
Don't get offended by the facts just try and listen,
Nothing is more anti-Semitic than Zionism,
So please don't bring bad vibe when you speak of my Guardians.

Whatever they try, my Guardians will never die!

I am AQSA
Pray for 🇵🇸🇵🇸Palestine, and pray for me (Aqsa).

The end time is Near.
