Good morning my good people of nairaland. Right from my younger days, this issue has been more of a cliché to me, have sat and thought about this most of the time "why must this happen in every festive period in Nigeria"?

Especially the Christians festivity be it Easter, Christmas and New year Celebration. It is at this point of the year that there is always huge scarcity and increased in pump price. And which in turn cause lots of hardship on Nigerians mostly in the Southern Part of the Country....

My question now is, could this be politically motivated? Why must this happen recurrently in the SOUTH? Is there scarcity of fuel in the Northern Part during Christians festivity too? Is there increased on Pump Price in the North as well? Or is only a Christian thing?

I had to post this, because I was listening to news this morning and overhead a lady on radio, crying and was really emotional lamenting on how she bought fuel at a filing station for #360 yesterday (ph). She really spoke about the hardship it has caused her and I wept.
