Everyone hoping to become a successful politician, either young or old, need a godfather in their political establishment. Political authority is full appointments. Individuals, therefore needs to be known and seen by an appointing authority or their cronies that would appoint anyone to any position.

Individual in employments not under the influence of goverment also stand the chance to quote their experience at their institution as basis for goverment to appoint such a person into the goverment institution. Unemployed individuals and/or those without any professional qualification stands the chance to be overlooked for any possible reward.
