I read Pantami's most controversial book, but in no place did i read where he employed words that are derogatory to the hard earned degree. His advocacy centres on coupling degree with the skills attached therewith.
Although, i am not a pantami fan, and i will never be one, his calling for debate is a clear symbol for his ineptitude to contain himself when his works is criticizes by academic professionals.

Our biggest interest is to learn and decimate information even if it's contrary to our stand so long it's not a personal attack. Kuma Alhamdulillah we are learning from your piece.

Ms I must confess u are a very good writer pls keep it up u don't know where Allah will take u from there.

You said it Decently.... Meanwhile, according to his book skills rather than just degrees his professorship is an appointment.
- Abdullahi EFCC
Brilliantly composed, the word "Just Degree" is really derogatory and abusive from a person who claims to be a professor. However, skills and degrees are equally important.
- Ummuhani Salawu.
I personally haven't read the book but from all I've gathered fro. Pantami's discourse on social media, it appears Sheikh Pantami meant "only" not "merely" i.e "skills not only degrees" not the widely believed "skills not merely degrees" which indeed sounds derisive to degrees.
It won't be far from the truth that it is that anger that blinded our academics into reading a different meaning to the title, because without a doubt a man like Sheikh Pantami who has multiple degrees cannot come out and tell us to our faces to do otherwise, when the evidences of the benefit he has enjoyed from having those degrees are abound.

This article is a MUST-READ for anyone like me who's passionate about the most popular news in the recent week "Skill rather than just degree", I must say I'm so impressed with the kind of instances you raised just to clarify some issues in the article. And for Prof Pantami, what I believe is that; it takes only a good work to be criticized, so why being so sensitive about the criticisms. To be very honest Sir_MS you absolutely nailed it. Keep writing bro, More ink to your pen.

Well, you said it all regarding the conflict between the two professors. But you left me with some question;
1. What are the criteria a person need to be elevated to the rank of a professor?
2. Do you think Prof. Pantami didn’t meet up to that criterion or the institution that awarded him this professorship compromise as you conclude by addressing him “Dr”?
3. Finally you haven’t give a stand weather a degree can be just or not when it’s in comparison with skills. Allah ya karawa rayuwa albarka

In my point of view Prof Ali Pantami was not trying to accuse Degree, he was advising Nigerian youth not to rely only on a degree. Prof is given a piece of advice to youth to combine soft and hard skills rather than holding degree certificates only, because relying on a degree certificate only is making our youth live jobless, also degree certificate is making our youth heartless.

Sir MS, you really try, per se the cause of doing justice to the subject matter on how you project the perspective of both parties to the stage.
"Skills rather than Just Degrees "title of Dr. Isah Pantami's book needs to be analysed critically, in the sense that, the two given words "Just" and "Degrees" are parallel in other words. Prior to publishment of the book and after the paradigm became pervasive to echo of media to deliminate the courage of undergraduate student and others.
- Dalhat Ameer
Critically looking at this issue, it can be said that what infuriated academicians is the use of the word "just" as a qualifier to the noun, "degree".
Assuming, it was titled as "Skills,rather than only degrees", he would have accurately conveyed the message that a combination of skills and degrees is better than degree only.
In Nigeria, the subconscious meaning of "just" is derogatory and mostly used in our day to day activities to refer to small things or issues. The word just is usually used to diminish the value of things. Little wonder why you'll hear Nigerians correcting you when you say "just 0 million". The next thing you'll hear will be " why are you saying just 10 million naira, is it small money ?"

Well, it's a masterpiece that even-handedly discerns the position of the subjects involved. It's a debate that tends to rekindle the fundamental ideas of skills and degrees. It's a matter of proposition and opposition, and what Sheikh Issa Ali Pantami posted on his mediasphere calling for an open debate is not in academic culture. It demeans the utmost position of intenlifensias.
It also raised the issue of his professorial appointment which some academics have bluntly rescinded in the most constructive way.
However, I believe the skill and degree are mutually exclusive, and your piece give an in-depth analysis on subject matter.
Keep it up.

Very well written Ms. I think you're really growing in this writing field
- Mkdache
Good write up man! But I think you should take a stand after all your analysis. What do you think?
- A.G Bappa
A well composed article differentiating both ends, really educative.
- Ibrahim Khalil.
My opinion on the issue clouding the Social Media , as to take a stand either it's Degree or Skills is important , instead of me taking a side , i will rather sitting on fence ,as both work interdependently , as a system absence of one affects the other.
- Elhakeemy
Well... You're right in many aspects. But I implore you to read the book and deal with the facts within the content of the book before throwing some words.
Also, you've brought some challenging issues undermining his title as "professor" is this a critism on the basis of his book titled "skills rather than just degree" or critism on his title as professor?
