Wikileaks’ week of leaking Nigerian leaders

SINCE September 6, the nation has been awash with one detail or the other by the whistleblower Wikileaks which has released hundreds of classified US cables on Nigeria and its leaders.

Some of the cables detail the inner workings of Nigerian government, the corruption of its leaders and policies re, how the personalities clashed for one reason or the other. Indeed, one is now let into how the destiny of the nation is shaped. The reports are confessional stamens by the leaders.

For example, the cable said some officials in the office of the National Security Adviser once offered the United States Government full access to the biometric information stored in the international passports of Nigerians in 2007.
