The warning signs straight-A student was on road to Syrian Isis stronghold

Posted: 28 Mar 2015 02:30 PM PDT

The long-awaited election in the continent's biggest democracy, with 60 million potential voters, did not descend into the chaos or violence that the doomsayers had predicted, but it was hardly plain sailing. From the moment that President Goodluck Jonathan himself was rejected by a malfunctioning voter registration machine there were glitches until, by late afternoon, beleaguered officials had been forced to announce that polling in some areas would spill over into a second day.
