President Jonathan Proposes 'Hall Of Shame' For Criminals In Nigeria

President Goodluck Jonathan on Tuesday pushed for a designated place to be created and named "Hall of Shame" where names of criminals and societal misfits will be documented, The NATION reports.

Stressing that he muted the idea while he was the Governor of Bayelsa State, the President said that it will serve as deterrence to those who may want to indulge in criminality in the country.

According to The NATION, the President gave the suggestion on Tuesday while receiving the Legends of Nollywood, led by its Chairman Paul Obaziele, who conferred on him the title of Grand Patron of the body at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

He said: "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 noted that the country used to be proud of soccer stars in the recent past but since the national team has begun to disappoint the nation, the Nollywood has overtaken them.
