From an African perspective, the British Empire’s legacy is marked by the devastation of the slave trade, the violence of colonization, and the imposition of systems that prioritized European interests over African well-being. (1/4)

[Atlas Press @realAtlasPress]

Western Civilization has largely been a force for good.

A prime example is the British Empire. In many places it occupied it:

-raised the standard of living
-developed infrastructure
-promoted education

It also single-handedly ended slavery for much of the world…🧵

@T_R_morales @KaganTech I am just talking about my personal experience. Make of it what you will.

[Captain Cook @OrdinaryAbbas]

@zoeymikey @omoalhajaabiola @NaijaFlyingDr Pursue a masters in one of Financial engineering, computational finance, quantitative finance, e.t.c. Then hustle internships like your life depends on it.

[Captain Cook @OrdinaryAbbas]

@NaijaFlyingDr More importantly, our leaders are products of our culture. The better the culture, the better the calibre of leaders produced.

@_wej01 Man... He should have added, "You have to pay the whole bill. Don't worry, I am not going to like it too."

@BasitOriola @SafwanAlghazal The term is Epoxy Resin, not Resin and Epoxy. Resin is the umbrella term and there are different types including epoxy, polyester, UV, and polyurethane resin. So you can have a UV Resin, but not "Resin and UV".

[Captain Cook @OrdinaryAbbas]

@SafwanAlghazal I think it is epoxy resin. There are other types but epoxy is the most common type of resin used for floors.

@ifindretardNG @Tunde_OD Wrong. Tunde castled first, removing his rook from h1. Even if that is not the case, the h file is not open because of the pawn at h5. If he tries to checkmate by playing Queen from d3 to h7, black king just takes the queen for free.

@B7frankH Two wrongs doesn't make a right. But the second wrong is bound to ensure the first wrong never happen again.

[Captain Cook @OrdinaryAbbas]

You have local government chairman, you have state rep, you have a senator, you have a house of assembly member, you have a governor. All these people serve as a conduit to federal. I honestly do think we as Nigerians need schooling on the proper way to escalate issues.

NNPC wanted to do maintenance on an oil well in Okrika Rivers state. They awarded the contract to Builders Resources Limited.

While working on the well, They caused a fire that has been burning on the river since 25th Feb 2024, polluting the environment and killing all fishes in the river, leaving the community with no way to fish or farm.

To this day, nothing has been done about it. The funny thing is that some people from the community will still vote for this incompetent APC government in 2027 because they worship wike.

@Banjy47 Guy: 2+2 is 5 because....
Me: (Interrupts) No, 2+2 is 4.
Guy: Oh, is that so? Prove it.

Lady: 2+2 is 5 because....
Me: (Interrupts) No, 2+2 is 4.
Lady: You are mansplaining. You don't want to listen to me because I am a woman. You want to always dominate, toxic masculinity.

@official_QV Not the Engineer in me wondering how 14 missed calls got into a dead phone 😭😭😭😭😭😭

[Captain Cook @OrdinaryAbbas]

@qroniqls Why does this remind me of the book "Sizwe Bansi Is Dead" 😂😂😂😂

[Captain Cook @OrdinaryAbbas]

@tobyasky If you are with the ball, find the space, if you are not, occupy the space. In both cases, try as much as possible to push forward. So, they both just did the basics. Muller will take 2 touches to shoot and that is bad, Lewandowski new the next best decision and where it will go

[Captain Cook @OrdinaryAbbas]

@Tifeoluwani3 @alpontif Most of them will rather give one random QS guy 200k for structural design, and that one will borrow seal to attach to the drawing. We are lucky we don't have earth quakes in Nigeria, and I am very sure a lot of houses will fall the day we have a slight earth tremor in Nigeria.

[Captain Cook @OrdinaryAbbas]

@0xkitng Even the physics doesn't support it. A quick back of the envelope calculation gave me about 17 MPa assuming you are shooting 5 days non-stop. That is significantly less than the yield stress of the human bone, so it can't cause a permanent damage.

[🐆 @ajokesterling]

looking at how bent his index finger is, i’ll like to believe he pulls the trigger for a living.

@AskMichaelTaiwo Computer Aided Design and Engineering Drafting.

I won't say never touching exactly, but I am definitely sure it will be amongst the last to be significantly affected by AI.

[Captain Cook @OrdinaryAbbas]

@AskMichaelTaiwo Apparently, there is a term called "Marital Rape".
