kaka22: In order to fully understand why USA wants to intervene in syrian crisis, we have to look at what has happened in Syria since the beginning of the peaceful protest before it turned to civil war and the role played by foreign actors. Also,I will use two theories of international politics in my analysis.
1. Realist theory or Realism
2. Idealist theory or Idealism.
SYRIAN CRISIS.
The Syrian crisis popularly referred to as Arab Spring started out as peaceful protest against dictatorship,tyranny,oppression and economic problems. It will be recalled that Arab spring started in Tunisia and later Egypt, libya,Yemen; and now Syria... Arab springs in the countries mentioned above excluding Syria have achieved its aim. Although the aim of Arab spring has led to controversy... The success of Arab Spring in these countries was due to the decisiveness of international community but due to division among members of international community, war in syria still continues...
RUSSIA'S ROLE IN SYRIAN CRISIS.
Since the beginning of Syrian crisis, Russia has been selling arms and ammunitions to Assad led government... Russia and China have blocked many resolutions at the level of security council of UN citing the defects of such resolutions for their actions... Russia argued that such resolutions condemned only one party(Syrian govt) in the war and not both parties.
USA's ROLE IN SYRIAN CRISIS.
Shortly after the peaceful protest in Syria turned to full blown civil war, USA and her allies began to supply the rebels with non-lethal aid. Such aid has been increased due to recent happenings... USA in collaboration with her allies has formulated resolutions that seeks to condemn Syrian government although such resolutions were blocked by Russia...
IDEALIST'S VIEW ABT SYRIAN CRISIS
It should be noted that idealism is about what what ought to be rather than what is. Although some elements of Idealism are applicable in current happenings... Idealism advocates for peaceful resolution of disputes through negotiation and the use of international organisations which explains the continued attempts by UN to resolve the crisis in Syria through its envoy(first Koffi Anan and now Brahimi)...
REALIST'S VIEW ABT SYRIAN CRISIS
Realists see states in international system as selfish actors who seek to protect their interests by whatever means possible... Realism sees the global system as anarchical in nature. Anarchical in the sense of absence of overarching authority to regulate the actions of state. Therefore, each state resort to self help in order to protect her interests... So Usa and Russia's actions are seen as protecting their interests rather than protecting the people of Syria... Following realist's argument, Russia keeps blocking UN's resolution as a result of protecting their interest( money being made by Russia through selling of arms and ammunition to Syrian govt) and USA insistence on interfering in Syrian crisis can be seen as trying to protect her interest(Syrian oil and introducing liberal democracy in syria)...
CONCLUSION.
There is no one way of explaining Syrian crisis... One's point of view will be a product of one ideological or theory's leaning whether realism or idealism... No matter one's ideological leaning, everybody's effort should be on how to resolve the crisis rather than pointing fingers... I rest my case

Mubby4luv: I waz then supporting ASUU buh they just proved how irrelevant they re. Selfish old cargoes. their president carry face lyk dry sh**t. #Okada carry me go the nearest public toilet make I shi*t abeg.

Burlah4u2c: it was a painful experience. Remember d guy in blue/black(from unilorin)?. I am. I just hope the strike be called off soon.

mubalex50: , I would like 2 support U.S in attacking syria, but attacking syria won't solve d problem otherwise worsen d situation, cox 2 wrong can never make a right, in d case of egypt, dat always happen in d third world society,

Okelity2812: ^ I think it less than 100k; as for the poly i did not write their post ume. Well thats what i got for putting all my eggs in a basket

Okelity2812: @ Selena and onlyme, my parents cannot afford the fees of a private university

Harbioollah: I laugh at the poster above me. The Unilorin i chose, had 242 and 78% in the post-utme and was denied admission while those with less were admitted for the same course.
Unilorin is the last school i'll recommend for a person without connections, except you are from Kwara state.

Unaab is the best for you. We've got a very transparent admission process

mubalex50: As a political scientist, I think contemporary issue need 2 b iron out in dis room, nigeria politics, Africa politics & even world politics @ large

olivertwist: My friend, I'm not a French so I don't understand what you write up there in quote. If you check again, you'll realise that I didn't mention Dangote or any private business man in my list above. I mentioned public servants like president, V.P, Govs, Senators, House Reps, Ministers etc.

We elected these people to take care of our education system but what do we get back. They steal our commonwealth, impoverish Nigerian public universities by enriching private universities with money stolen from the public.

And the most painful part is the 'systematic discrimination of public schools in Nigeria be it at primary, secondary or tertiary level. The impression that public students are inferior to their private counterparts must be stopped.

The only slight advantage private institutions have over public institutions is that of good facilities and well paid lecturers. If our elected leaders can do the right things, by providing QUALITY education for our public institutions, there will be a level playing ground among Nigerian students.

A situation where an Education minister sends his children to private schools both home and abroad must be stopped. What this means is that they themselves don't believe in the quality of our education. I was priviledged to study both home and abroad and to be honest, we need to invest more in our education.

Infact, the reason why a lot of civil servants are corrupt is because of their children. Most civil servants are beginning to enrol their children in private universities because of strikes in public schools, even though they don't have the means. Because they just want to give their children good education, they'll turn to corruption and start to steal public money.

As they say, if you can't beat them, you join them. But is this the way to go about it?

olivertwist: MY assumptions after going through most comments above is that:

1) Most NLs that are against NANS threat are family members of the elites who can afford to send their children to private universities or maybe,


2) Most of them are just sympathetic with GEJ at the expense of Nigerian poor students or maybe,

3) Most of them don't really understand what 'Hell' it is, to be a University student in Nigeria or maybe,

4)These set of people don't realise that, David Mark, Tambuwal, OBJ, GEJ, Ameachi, OUK, Tinubu,Sambo, IBB, Fashola, NOI, SLS, Okorocha, Tony Anenih, all senators, govs, house reps, ministers, special advisers (SA) to president, SA to govs, commissioners, etc will never send their children to public universities, hence, no one cares if Poor public university students stay at home for 4years or not.

5) Finally, without disrespecting anyone here, I strongly believe most commentators on this topic are either secondary school drop-outs who are now into trading of some sort (hence the beafing of uni students) or perhaps, they are half-baked graduates who are govt paid agents like Beaf & co.

Lastly, I strongly support ANYTHING that will put a final end to strikes in Nigeria universities.

For those saying or thinking NANS threat is just an empty threat, remember, an Idle mind is the devil's workshop. If these guys are pushed to the wall, the middl east problem will be like a joke.

Govt needs to do more for Education in Nigeria. No more mouth service.Enough is enough.

Olsey: No initial list will be released. All applicants will have to report at the venue for the interview on September 10th.
I wish you success in your interview.

ShehuAba: I have tried applying severally with my phone but to no avail.
Seems it's P. C that's very sure now.
BTW is there anyone who has applied with his/her phone and was successful?

ledafaze: Even though I can say I dont know how others work, I still know about Samuel Adegboyega University of The Apostolic Church, where I am a church member. The school is the cheapest and even to meet up with the payment of lecturers, we pay special offerings during sunday services nationwide.

Other schools want to build more, make profit and also raise brows...
