 Over 25 million phones stolen in one year – FG The Crime Experience and Security Perception Survey report of the National Bureau of Statistics, a Federal Government agency, shows that Nigeria recorded 25.35 million phone theft cases between May 2023 and April 2024. According to the report, this was the most common type of crime within the period under review. The report read, “The number of crimes experienced by individuals in Nigeria was analysed over a period of time. The results show that theft of phones (25,354,417) was the most common crime experienced by individuals, followed by consumer fraud (12,107,210) and assault (8,453,258). However, hijacking of cars (333,349) was the least crime experienced by individuals within the reference period.” It also noted that most phone theft cases occurred either at home or in a public place, and about 90 per cent of such cases were reported to the police.

Elon Musk Unveils Tesla Optimus Robot That Can ‘Be Your Friend’ | Video


The “humanoid” can do your chores for you for $20,000 to $30,000


Musk on Thursday night unveiled the Tesla Optimus Robot, the company’s new 5’8″ robot that can be, what Musk called, “your own personal R2D2 [or] C-3PO.” The Tesla boss gave a preview of the bot, which the company plans on selling in 2026, at Warner Bros. Studios in Burbank, CA.


“What can it do? It can basically do anything you want,” Musk said. “It can be a teacher, babysit your kids, it can walk your dog, mow your lawn, get the groceries, just be your friend, serve drinks. Whatever you can think of, it will do.” 


The faceless robot — which looks a bit like it could be the third member of Daft Punk — will cost $20,000 to $30,000 once the company is producing them at scale, Musk said.

While Musk was on stage, the video behind him called the robot an “autonomous assistant, humanoid friend,” as the audience watched it water plants and play board games with a family. (Musk did not say whether the robot from Rocky IV inspired Tesla’s bot.)

Later, event attendees were able to play the robots in games of rock-paper-scissors, watch them dance, and have them serve drinks among other things. 


“I think this will be the biggest product ever, of any kind,” Musk said. “I think everyone is going to want their Optimus buddy, maybe two.” 


Musk — who has shared his concerns about rogue artificial intelligence wrecking humanity — said he believed there was an “80% probability of good” from mass robot adoption. Beyond household chores and playing with your kids, the Optimus Robot will be able to do certain jobs, like move boxes in warehouses.

“The costs of products and services will decline dramatically,” Musk said. 

Tesla’s robots will likely spark further debate about the rise of AI and how it’ll affect workers in a variety of industries.

  SSANU, NASU threaten strike over withheld salaries The Joint Action Committee of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions have threatened to disrupt industrial peace in universities should the government fail to release the withheld salaries of members. The salaries were seized by the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari during their strike in 2022. The unions, in a joint letter signed on Friday by the President of SSANU, Muhammed Ibrahim and General Secretary of NASU, Peters Adeyemi, questioned the rationale with which the government released four months withheld salaries to members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities but failed to release the withheld salaries of non-academic staff. The unions noted that they would no longer be able to assure the government of industrial peace in universities should the amounts owed by the government are not released. Earlier, the uni...
