How does changing phone number affect address? Is it in d phone that d govt will drop d rice?

You have a smart phone, a little bit of research would have given you more information. An sms was sent to phone numbers that was used to register asking them to confirm if address is still valid. If you get the Sms and don’t respond it’s as good as your address is no longer valid and the relief material won’t get delivered to you.

D heading says "food items" and u saying "stimulus package". Are they d same thing?

By d way, does NEPA need to send sms for u to confirm ur address b4 they bring bill or come to cut light? Does d govt send u SMS to confirm ur address b4 they collect ur tax?

SMH. So it’s wrong to have them verify if recipients address is still valid or not to avoid waste of limited resources and time?
It is well Sir.

Is Relief material (food items) not the same as economic stimulus package. Why not use your smart phone to read and understand what an economic stimulus package means.


Nepa and tax authorities have data base that is updated regularly as such they don’t need to send you an sms to confirm if your address is valid. I hope that answers your question.

When u used your phone to check, what did it tell u relief material is and what did it tell u economic stimulus package is? If u say they are d same, how does free food fall into d category of stimulus package?

If u say FIRS and NEPA has a database, does LIRS not have a database?

You are very funny, so you expect govt to use lirs data base to share relief material when the same government has an agency responsible for registration of residents.

And to answer your question as regards the stimulus package/ relief material question, YES it is a stimulus economic package put together by Lagos state government for residents, targeting 200,000 households in the first phase.

This involves food packs, put together by the agriculture ministry

It falls into the category is stimulus package because the essence is to cater for the vulnerable communities and households, who rely more on daily wages.

Being funny isnt what i asked u? D question i asked is does LIRS not have a database just like nepa and LIRS?

Kindly attempt a definition of "economic stimulus package" on one hand and "relief materials(food)" on d other let's be sure u even know what u talking about. because d more u say they are d same without being able to state what they mean, puts u in ridicle

What has lirs data base got to do with this? The state government was clear on what they wanted to do and their target audience .

Maybe you should explain what an economic stimulus package mean then we take it from there.

According to u:

"Nepa and tax authorities have data base that is updated regularly as such they don’t need to send you an sms to confirm if your address is valid."

One of d greatest tragedies in human existence is for a person not to know something, but yet he thinks he knows. Its now worse when d person is still arguing that he knows.

If u remember at least ur secondary education, every time there is a new topic, d teacher begins that lesson by first and foremost attempting a definition of d topic. That puts d topic in perspective & helps students understand subsequentl lessons being taught. So am wondering what exactly u are arguing about when u can't even attempt a definition of d concepts u are throwing around. And if u can't define d concepts u are using then it means that u don't even understand what u are saying which is a tragedy.

I am surprised u said "You have a smart phone, a little bit of research would have given you more information", but yet u couldn't do d needful. In fact, u don't even need a phone to do that. I will show u how.

D term economic stimulus package has 3 words. If u isolate d three words& begin dissecting, u get d meaning of d concept because 3 words were put together for a particular reason. What does "economic" mean? What does "stimulus" mean? From d noun stimulus, u get a verb stimulate. Then what is "package" as used within this context?

Economic stimulus package are a set of measures (package) put in place usually by a govt to stimulate an economy. Based on this definition, how does giving free rice to people stimulate d economy?

I don’t think we need to resort to insults in trying to drive home our point. You said an Economic stimulus package are set of measures put in place by govt to stimulate an economy, I quite agree with you but you are missing my point. The economic activity here isn’t the giving of free rice to the people. The LASG don’t produce this food items themselves, they have to buy them off from either individuals or organizations that produce them. What this simply means is that money would exchange hands between them and that’s an economic activity. With the lock down, the possibility of having this items sold by this organization or individuals would have been reduced. So the action of the state government to buy off this items from this people in large quantity is an economic stimulus package to that sector.

In d course of making ur comments, u have used two concepts, "economic stimulus package" and "relief materials". D problem is that u don't even no d meaning of d concepts. And if u don't no d meaning of d concepts, it means u don't understand them. And if u don't understand them, then what exactly are u arguing about? So if u are arguing about something u have no idea about, that is a tragedy, not an insult. If I even ask u to identify d insult u are referring, am sure u wouldn't be able to. D problem here is that u are a victim of ur own choice of words. If u can't define a concept that u are insisting that u no, that is definitely a tragedy.

Let's look at d analysis u made & see how u corroborated this tragedy. This "economic stimulus package" is an iniatiative of d Lagos state govt. That means, if it is actually a stimulus package, it is meant to stimulate d economy of Lagos. Now several bags of rice were bought. D first question u should ask urself is this: was d rice that was bought produced in Lagos state? If it wasn't produced in Lagos state, how's buying rice for distribution in lagos now a stimulus for d economy of Lagos state?

How was d rice procured? Are u aware of how d rice was procured? How many contractors were involved in procuring d rice?

What d Lagos state govt is calling "economic stimulus package" isn't economic stimulus package. It is simply providing palliatives for people by distributing relief materials. Its what charity organisations and philanthropists do. Its also what is done for people in IDPs or those who have been victims of natural disasters like flooding. How's that an "economic stimulus package"? That simply entails distributing relief materials like food, drugs, mattresses, roofing sheets to ease d burden of suffering on people in d short term.

D late Myles Munroe said several times, when purpose is unknown, abuse is inevitable. D question u haven't asked urself is what is d purpose of an "economic stimulus package" and what form does it take? Can u answer that?
