Bandits have killed 1,460 persons in 2019 - FG

The Nigerian Government on Thursday August 29, disclosed that 1,460 persons have been killed in 330 attacks by bandits across the nation in 2019.

The Permanent Secretary of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation's office on Special Services, Amina Shamaki made the disclosure at the federal and states security administrators’ meeting in Kebbi state.

Shamaki said the north-west which was one of the most peaceful region before the bandit attacks, has remained a major source of concern even though the killings have been on the decline.

“From January to July, 2019, about 330 attacks were recorded, resulting to the death of about 1,460 civilians,” NAN quoted her as saying.
“However, between June and July, 2019, the number of incidents declined, especially in Zamfara state, that had been the epicentre of armed banditry.”
The permanent secretary also attributed the decline to the combination of “kinetic and non-kinetic measures” introduced in recent months, including getting criminals to lay down their arms.
“Application of the carrot and stick approach is an effective strategy that enables criminals wiling to embrace peace to do so while repentant ones are identified and isolated for appropriate actions by the security agencies,” she added.
“Another security concern is the porosity of our borders; the borders aided smuggling of small arms and light weapons from war-torn zones, including Libya and Central Africa Republic, terrorism, cross- border crimes, human trafficking, irregular migration and smuggling of migrants, among others.
“The federal government is doing a lot to improve border security with a view to addressing some of these challenges.”

Sex robots could easily malfunction and attack you - Experts warn

Experts have warned that sex robots could ‘easily’ malfunction and attack users.

According to Brick Dollbanger, who works with Realbotix, he said a simple coding error could turn sexbots against their owners.

He said: “It scares me to death, it's a machine and it's always going to be a machine. It's not going to be something you can hit with a pipe and it's going to fall apart. I've always said, when a synthetic can support itself, that synthetic is going to be much stronger than a normal human.
"It's going to be more durable, instead of having bones it's going to have high impact, plastic or aluminium frame, it's going to be very strong, and it won't get tired, it won't stop unless it runs out of an energy supply.
"Unless you can stop it with some kind of projectile, like a gun or something like that, if this thing got out of control it could do some serious damage.”

Brick also claims that all it takes is one bad line of code for the sexbot to turn against its user. He added: “If you make one mistake and you have a line of bad code in there and it hits this line of bad code, depending on what it's doing or where it's at or numerous other instances, it could just decide this is what it's supposed to do.

"It's been programmed, and more than likely it's going to be answering to a cloud server of some kind to get updated to have any kind of work done on AI itself, it will have to link to the server. And it wouldn't stop until those things occurred.
Put it this way it can put its arm around your neck and just stop you from breathing, and you wouldn't be able to get away from it, something as simple as that, a simple hug could be a constriction that could literally compress your chest and airway and stop you breathing. It can keep the constriction going until you stop breathing."

Brick's warning comes shortly after futurologist Dr Ian Pearson claimed that there should be 'visual laws' in place to stop sex robtos from looking too realistic.

Ryan Russell, a former NFL defensive end who last played for the Buccaneers has revealed he is bisexual.

The 27-year-old penned an as-told-to article to ESPN, where he broke the news.

“Have I lied to teammates, coaches, trainers, front-office executives and fans about who I am?” Russell wrote in an article posted Thursday to ESPN.com. “Not exactly. But withholding information is a form of deceit. And I want the next part of my career – and life – steeped in trust and honesty.

During the season you spend more time with your team than with your own family; truth and honesty are the cornerstones of a winning culture. My truth is that I'm a talented football player, a damn good writer, a loving son, an overbearing brother, a caring friend, a loyal lover, and a bisexual man.


“Today, I have two goals: returning to the NFL, and living my life openly. I want to live my dream of playing the game I've worked my whole life to play, and being open about the person I've always been.”

“Those two objectives shouldn't be in conflict,” Russell wrote. “But judging from the fact that there isn't a single openly LGBTQ player in the NFL, NBA, Major League Baseball or the NHL, brings me pause. I want to change that – for me, for other athletes who share these common goals, and for the generations of LGBTQ athletes who will come next.”

Russell also went public with his relationship with his boyfriend, who wrote of the NFL player on his Instagram page, "This man is the top headline on @espn this morning for speaking his truth as a player in the NFL and as my boyfriend. I couldn’t be more proud."
