Then, on Saturday, the elections were delayed for six weeks. Nigeria’s security agencies, we were told, would not be available to secure the elections because they would be fighting Boko Haram and needed at least another month and a half to do so.

Democracy, Deferred: Postponed election, an embarrassment of bad choices, by Chimamanda Adichie.
