Foreign Affairs › Breaking News: Identity Of France (Nice) Truck Driver- Attacker Revealed by ajbabs(op):
French-Tunisian man named as Mohamed Lahouaiej-Bouhlel, who killed 84 people in Nice, appears to have been a violent petty criminal.

The man responsible for Thursday’s murderous attack in Nice was a violent petty criminal unknown to the French security services, who was born in Tunisia but had been living and working in the coastal city, prosecutors have said.

Mohamed Lahouaiej-Bouhlel, a 31-year-old delivery driver and father, was shot dead by police after killing 84 people, including 10 children and teenagers, and injuring scores more in a deadly Bastille Day rampage .

Despite a criminal record which saw him convicted for the first time in March this year, Lahouaiej-Bouhlel was not known by French or Tunisian officials to have links to terrorist organisations and was said by neighbours to have had little apparent interest in religion.

Echoing the remarks of French officials, security sources in Tunisia said he was not known by the Tunisian authorities to hold radical or Islamist views.

At a packed press conference, the Paris prosecutor François Molins said Lahouaiej-Bouhlel had been “completely unknown to both France’s domestic and foreign intelligence officials”. But he added: “Although yesterday’s attack has not been claimed, this sort of thing fits in perfectly with calls for murder from such terrorist organisations.”

Molins said the investigation would focus a number of key issues including potential accomplices, how Lahouaiej-Bouhlel had procured the gun he fired at police and whether he was connected to radical jihadi networks.

On Friday, at the modest five-storey block of flats in the Quartier des Abattoirs where he had lived and which was raided by officers from the elite RAID unit at 9.30am that morning,neighbours described him as a quiet and “not very religious” man.

Born in 1985 in Tunisia, Lahouaiej-Bouhlel had come from the town of M’saken near the city of Sousse – where dozens of foreign tourists were shot dead on a beach last year – and had reportedly last visited the town four years ago.

Speaking to reporters in his building, neighbours said he had rarely spoken to them and did not return greetings when their paths crossed in the working-class neighbourhood. Photographs from inside the flat showed a cramped and shabby home whose contents had been turned over by investigators.

Sebastien, a neighbour who spoke on condition that his full name was not used, said Lahouaiej-Bouhlel did not seem overtly religious, often dressed in shorts and sometimes wore work boots.

He had a van parked nearby and owned a bike, which he brought up into his first-floor apartment.

Of those who were interviewed, only one, a neighbour on the ground floor, said she had had any concerns about him – describing him as “a good-looking man who kept giving my two daughters the eye”. Other people who knew him – quoted in the French media – described an individual interested in women and salsa music.

Another neighbour, identified only as Jasmine, aged 40, told the Guardian: “He was quite handsome, greyish hair, looked a bit like George Clooney. He never answered when we spoke or said hello, he just sort of stared at us aggressively.

“I was really scared of him. All I knew is that he had trouble with his wife, but we never saw her or their kids. He spent a lot of his time at a bar down the street where he gambled and drank.”

Others who knew him said they believed he was either divorced or in the process of getting divorced. Police raided the 12th-floor apartment of his estranged wife, elsewhere in the city, where neighbours said he had not lived for three years. His wife was later taken in for questioning.

In the cluster of towering red and white blocks of social housing in northern Nice, where the couple had lived together years earlier, the Muslim community was in shock. A group of teenagers sitting on the porch of one of the huge towers claimed that Lahouaiej-Bouhlel, who they said had been in conflict with his ex-wife, drank, smoked and never visited the mosque.

“I was woken up by people screaming: ‘Let her go, she didn’t do anything’,” said one woman, who gave her name as Saïda, when asked about the questioning of his ex-wife. “It hurts because they are an adorable family and I don’t think they have anything to do with it. We knew her husband was violent and had moved out a while ago but that is all.”

Another woman, Halima, added: “We are all really stunned. All those victims. We didn’t sleep all night and we cried for absolutely everyone.” The group lost a friend, who they said was the first person to be hit by the driver on Thursday night.

The first clues to Lahouaiej-Bouhlel’s identity emerged in the immediate aftermath of the attack as police combed through the bullet-ridden lorry he had rented from a local company on 11 July. Investigators recovered a mobile phone, bank card and driver’s licence – all pointing to Lahouaiej-Bouhlel.

Known to the police for a violent altercation in which he had hurled a wooden pallet at another driver, Lahouaiej-Bouhlel was given a suspended sentence and asked to contact police once a week, which he did, said the French justice minister, Jean-Jacques Urvoas.

But little else in Lahouaiej-Bouhlel’s past indicated he would commit an atrocity on the scale of Thursday’s attack. Investigators will want to know where he acquired the stash of weapons found in the cab of the truck, whether he was indeed acting alone or had accomplices – and, perhaps above all, what motivated him to launch his murderous assault.

In practical terms, too, police will have questions to answer, including how – amid a high-level security alert and state of emergency – he was able to get through a security perimeter to launch his attack.

One of a community of 40,000 Tunisians living in Nice – among a wider community of 120,000 in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region – he was not, say neighbours in the Quartier des Abattoirs, a familiar figure in the 18 or so mosques in the city.

One focus of the investigation is likely to be connections in Nice itself – a city which has in recent years emerged as a centre of radicalisation and jihadi recruitment, not least through the network of Omar Omsen, also known as Oumar Diaby, whose name has repeatedly surfaced in French counter-terrorism investigations.

Just as they have the powers to "tweak" the budget, so does the constitution empowers the president to veto any bill!

At this juncture, all that is left is to count the days to 2019, this present NASS case is a forgone conclusion, Nigeria nor fit see any profit from this transaction, make loss nor too plenty na the only prayer.
Madam, national assembly has the higher power constitutionally when it comes to issue of passing bills into acts(laws). Constitution of the federation only honour the president to veto the bills passed by the national assembly within a stipulated period or raise an objection to the area necessary. But after this grace period, the National Assembly shall have power to pass into acts which shall bind on everyone, people in presidency inclusive.

Foolish talk.
Right in this country we once had a fool of a President who sat comfortably in aso rock and asked his "prime minister" to go present budget to both Houses. It was well received and u lot never had any issues with it. Hypocrites.
Nigerian constitution did not mandate for president to there himself/herself compulsorily. Some of you commentors on nairaland are kids and naive politically.

there is no award for foolishness. As fayose hates pmb, he still ask senators to clear fayemi for minister, but alas! My people will reject any good from this govt because their hate. This is project their idol could not do in 6yrs. Did amechi insert keke-napep & local roads without design in the budget also, pls get sense.
National Assembly has right under Nigerian constitution to modify budget presented to it by the president. Also, it is a mere law provision in order to honour president for him to sign the budget in law after the budget might have been passed by both chambers of the national assembly. But in a situation where any president of the federation want to prove too hard, after a time frame, the national assembly shall have right to pass the budget into law themselves and it shall bind on the presidency (executive) and even the judiciary.

This is a follow up to my post above as regards salaries of teachers in "specific location".

Negotiation is key to getting the needed salary, although preference is given to B.Ed & B.sc edu. gradutes because that is their terrain. More often that not, they are paid the same with other degree holders. A "few"schools pay them a little above other degree holders.

P.S. Schools that are starting CANNOT pay you the needed salary. Some would increase your salary as the number of pupils increases, though there are exceptions especially for schools in highbrow areas and A'level or sixth form schools.

1. Ikorodu-Bayoku, Idiroko, Ajegunle, Igbogbo e.tc, some schools in Surulere 15k-22k (Likewise in Uwelu, Barrack and after the Airforce barracks in Benin, Edo State).
2. Bariga- Somolu & Bajulaye 28-30k depending on your qualifications;
3. Festac, Mile 2 & Apapa- 45-75k depending on your qualifications, PDGE inclusive;
4. Lekki-80k- 160k depending on your experiences, professional certifications and qualifications, Nursery and primary 40-60k(source: luffskidz);
5. Gbagada-60k depending on qualifications, experience; (oluemmakay could be reached for details).
6. Anthony- 70k depending on the school and location experience counts a lot plus professional qualifications;
7. Akute-Ajuwon Axis- 35-45k depending on the location, qualification and experience. Most of them usually have high turnover of teacher.... that leaves much to be desire (visit some post on pages 1-23).
8. Ipaja- 35-50k depending on location, qualification and experience... some are ready to give you accommodation. Based on information gathered on this thread, they would want applicants living in that axis.
9. Ayobo along Redemption camp-18k-28k (Not all schools in that location would pay such salary. Just a handful are willing to provide accommodation).
10. Jabi(Abuja), Maraba, Nyanya 25-45k- it depends on the school & location.
11. Ekiti depending on the school- 20k, some 35-45 depending on qualifications. Accommodation is provided for some schools.
12. Ile-ife- 60-75- OAU International school and Alex Henry Duduyemi Internationla school source-Prof-gday. Accommodation is given in certain school for experience hire.
13. Kwara-13k schools around Ansaru-deen, tanke, Taiwo, post office 25-30k
14. Zaria- 20k upwards
15. Ondo - depends on the curriculum, if it is A sixth form 80-150 with accommodation provided you have the perquisite qualifications.
16. Ogbomoso- details are still sketchy
17. Ogun- Mowe, Ofada, Lambe, Matugun, Ijoko, Are-po
It depends on the school, curriculum, qualifications and experience. In Abeokuta, there are A-level schools that pay well such as Daywaterman e.t.c other Nigeria curriculum schools to the best of my knowledge 60k.
18. Onitsha- 12-20k depending on school, qualifications ( from Information gathered, irrespective of qualifications in some quarters, they cannot pay above 40k).
19. Bayelsa- In Bayelsa, Belary Schools, Ayakpo Schools, Faith Comprehensive Sec. school (FACISS), Winners Academy(Not owned by Winners church o), Bieodomo Schools, Divine Comprehensive, New Total Child Academy and Benny Schools are the "Big ones" (though some other schools are springing up and giving the aforementioned schools a good run for their resources). so
Belary = 30,000 entry level may rise to 40 0r 45 but not above 45 plus Accomodation for few staff.
Ayakpo = same as Belary but with little/no accomodation.
FACISS = 30000 Entry level but can pay up to 60000
Winners = Negotiable entry but more rules as it regards dress style.
Bieodomo Schools = 35000 (but no holidays even in August else be ready to lose the month's salary)
Divine Comprehensive = 30,000 and may hit 60,000 depending on your impact.
New Total Child Academy = same as Divine Comprehensive
Benny Schools = Negotiable entry salary but not below 25000.


With this, you should be guided on what smaller schools pay.
the Minimum here in Bayelsa is 5000 (for WAEC holders teaching in private primary schools)

Feel free to ask questions or add if you are also in Bayelsa.Source: Makozona

20. Porthacourt- information from reliable source gathered from their thread and Morrygreat corroborating the said information. 25-30k. They also have the A-level schools that pay as high as 70k.

21. Ejigbo- 35-50k, power of negotiation is important and experience.

Caleb schools- 70-100k
Redeemers schools -90-150k
Chrisland- 80-120k
British international- 150k
Turkish international- 145k
American international 200k
Pampers- 95k


I also sympathise with school owners because they spend a lot, the reason they set up the business is to provide services at acceptable profit and reduce cost to the bearest minimum.


WARNING: The above should not be relied upon totally. You can either bargain below or above the stated figures above. I STRONGLY advice you do your findings so as to ascertain what is obtainable in the location above.

actually, that wasnt the reason why they quashed the judgement. It was quashed because the court believes that the crime of contract splitting which tewonde george was prosecuted for by LASG wasnt a crime by the time he was committed to prison.
The court never ruled that the LASG had no right to prosecute. that is the crux of the matter. Get ur facts right and stop spreading shameless lies.
You are the one spreading lies. Bode George case was procsecuted in an incompetent court , more so,what he was charged for was not a crime when he was in office. So, the authority then including the judge were just emotional. So also, you were emotional about him. Get a life.

According to him, “We would not support the fight against corruption. People took our money from the state, and we wrote to the police asking them to go and make a statement; nothing has come out of it.

Foolish Man. U wrote to the police without attaching ur evidence to make ur case solid. Yet u expect the police to act on it. Of cos, pending when u present ur evidence, ur letter will be thrashed. The one Livingstone submitted, it was noticed that it was nothing but a heap of lies to deceive and mallign the Best Rivers state governor in her history.
Besides u dont need FG to commence prosecution. Lagos never seek for FG permission before prosecuting and sending tewonde George to jail. Amaechi has no immunity, ask ur AG to do the needful.
No one cares whether u support Buhari or not. It doesnt stop Buhari from doing what Buhari will do. U are just another inconsequential nonentity like fayose in the scheme of things. Baba is on vacation, and strategising on his next move on u fools.
The same reason both Appellate court and Nigerian Supreme Court of Justice quashed the judgments against Bode George.
