When newspapers became ministerial list

The desperation for political offices in the country seems to know no bounds. Every Emeka, Muhammed and Omotayo wanted to be a minister. Before the ministerial list was sent to the senate on Monday, the jostling for the high offices was taken to such a ridiculous extent that President Goodluck Jonathan must have been forced to make up his mind and put an end to the shenanigans of opportunistic politicians.
The story was told of a man who stormed the Department of State Security headquarters last week to be screened as a ministerial nominee. When asked how he got to know that he was a nominee, he replied that he read it in the newspapers. Pray, when did newspapers become the ministerial nominee list? The poor man was, of course, asked to disappear.
