So who went home with arms full of awards and the most smile on the face? The new artist Stanley Enow with his new hit single "hein pere" was well acknowledged by the Cameroon entertainment industry; sweeping the board with two awards: one for best urban artist and the other for artist with the most impact. Also scoring the most awards was the movie Ninah's dowry: best actress, best director, and best film categories all came from it.

Cameroon did not forget Africa as a whole, as the best African actor award went to the Ghanaian  most popular and achieved father of three: Van Vicker.

A big thumbs-up to Akim Macauley; CEO of the SONNAH awards for this amazing initiative and to the SONNAH team in general. From now on, Cameroon talents have a platform and benchmark on which to compete and set their targets for. It is now not only a vision, but a mission to set higher goals for the Cameroon Entertainment Industry; both in the diaspora and domestically. More pictures and winners list  after the cut....

America's first gay Imam goes public with his reasons why...

Is this really possible? A gay Imam in USA? whos is even allowed to boast openly about it...! Com'on, it is no doubt to everyone that the United State of America is the land of all possibilities, but there is a big BUT here. To the best of my knowledge, the Quran forbids homosexuality. Infact, the traditional belief in Judaism, Christianity and Islam is that God forbids homosexuality, and this translates itself into the same-sex marriages as well. 

According to Linda Ikeji's blog, Imam Daayiee Abdulah originally was born and raised in Detroit as a  Christian of the Baptist faith.  But somehow while in China for further studies, he got himself converted to Islam .

So what motivated the new Islamic Daayiee Abdulah to become an Iman? the spiritual gap that existed in the Islamic faith for the lesbians, gays & transsexuals was the drive, all in the hope of providing an ideal channel of Islamic support for them, he says. More after the cut...

Merry Christmas to you all my readers
