President Goodluck Jonathan Tuesday suggested the establishment of a Hall of Shame where documents, names of criminals and societal misfits could be sourced to serve as a deterrent to those nursing the idea of criminality in the country.
Jonathan made the proposal while responding to the request of the Legends of Nollywood, led by its Chairman Paul Obazele at the Presidential Villa.
They were at the Villa to confer the honour of the Grand Patron of the body on the president.
According to Jonathan, immortalising the names of criminals in the proposed Hall of Shame would make families and youths to stay away from crime so as to prevent their names from being soiled.
I heard you saying that you are planning a Hall of Fame; I think we should start thinking of having a hall of shame where the names of criminals would be written.
This will serve as a deterrent to those who may want to indulge in criminal activities as they would not want to soil their family names” Jonathan said.
He said actors and actresses in the film industry had contributed to the nation’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP). – Thisday.
