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.

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.

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

According to him, immortalizing the names of criminals in the proposed hall of shame would make families and youth not to be attracted to crimes that could bring shame to their names.

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.”

Acknowledging the contributions made by the actors and actresses in the film industry, he eulogized them for contributing to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP).

He said that the Nollyhood actors have done the nation proud by projecting its culture positively within and outside the country.

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.

He called on the actors to help project agriculture positively in their movies so that youngsters could develop interest in going into the business.

The President assured them of government’s support for the production of such movies.

Speaking earlier, Obaziele sought for more support from the government in terms of welfare.

He also requested for comprehensive health insurance and pension schemes be created for actors and actresses and the provision of accommodation for those who cannot afford decent housing.

#Yimu...dey deceive yourself ooo

Buhari, tinubu n ameachi's name will take d first line ... GEJ till 2019!!!

Sounds funny sha... But if this is true, obj's name should be number one

I think this man's advisers have really messed his brain up completely!! Like hell, is he so oblivious of the shape of his and his wife's image out there in the public?? Is this guy for real??

I'm really surprised here honestly!!

and he will be the first to take the shame.

dude, can't you guys make a constructive criticism without resulting to name calling for once? Only pple with poor upbringing behave this way.

@topic, it makes sense to me..if you can't fight them, shame them into stoping corruption and criminality. That's classic human logic. Igbos have been using this method since the beginning of time

Why should it be OBJ? From the news, I heard he conceived that idea while he was bayelsa governor. I think Alameyesia his former boss whom he set free should take the lead. He has no moral justification to put OBJ's name if his former boss and Kashumu's name aren't there.

But the idea could make some sense sha if it isn't another arm of pdp witch hunting agenda

the first five that should be documented are the five presidents
(1) GEJ
(2) PEJ

Chief abeg maintain your lane. Where's the insult there??

And only an illiterate wouldn't know the word is "resorting" and not "resulting".

And don't quote me again.

Mr Clueless, Criminals belong in jail.............Not putting their names in a "Hall of shame" while they enjoy their loot in freedom.


This GEJ is so unexposed, its nauseating.

he taught Zoology and he is actually acting like one of those elements in the zoo. GMB till thy Kingdom Come.

Brb

we don't want any hall of shame, what we want is long jail term for corrupt politicians.

Rather than Hall of Shame they should be in a Hell of a Jail.
QED!!!

Granted that our politics may be too complicated with ethno-religious bigotry so pervasive to allow for my option to work now

Ok... in other news













Happy birthday to me

He Mr President His name should be at the top list.
