It's now up to fans to vote for their favourites in this public-voted event, with more than two months for the continent's music fans to have their say.
This year's nominees list features many longstanding members of the African music scene, among them are Zimbabwe's Buffalo Souljah (Basawine for Most Gifted Ragga Dancehall Video), South Africa's Oskido (Tsa Mandebele for Most Gifted African Southern), and Mozambique's Lizha James (Vais Rochar with Anselmo Ralph for Most Gifted Female).

Skinny Jeans You Never Want To Put Your Butt In

Dear IMB Reader,   No matter how skinny you actually are, there’s no way you should ever be caught dead in these disastrous denim DON’TS. Seriously, just don’t. I’d rather prefer you go pantless; that’s how bad these are. 1. These jeans sure do bring a whole new meaning to the whole, “eyes in the back of my head…oops, I mean butt!” saying. WINKERS JEANS  2. I love a good denim DIY as much as the next girl. Creating cutout slits for your butt cheeks though…defs not a tutorial I want to read! EXPOSED BUTT JEANS 3. Is it a string bikini bottom? A thong? A pair of jeans? Ohhhh wait…it’s a combination of all three! HOT.

Public Masturbation Has Been Declared Legal In Sweden

On June 6, 2013 a 65-year-old man took off his shorts at a beach near Stockholm and began masturbating into the ocean. According to Swedish newsite, The Local ; the man was charged with sexual assault, but was acquitted last week after a judge ruled that he was not targeting a specific person. The prosecutor even implied that it was “okay” to play with yourself in public! Public Prosecutor,   Olof Vrethammar said: “For this to be a criminal offence it’s required that the sexual molestation was directed towards one or more people.

PHOTOS: Historical Judgment Babies #SupremeCourtVerdict

                    Thursday August 29, 2013, shall forever remain a historic day in the lives of Ghanaians. But like any ordinary day, it certainly marks the last day on earth for some people and the first for others. Coincidently the number “29” seems to have some uncanny importance as the major persons involved  in the 2012 Election petition,  John Dramani Mahama and Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, were both born on the 29 th- John was on the 29 th November and Nana 29 th March. Though President John Mahama has not yet celebrated his birthday this year, some of his fans expressed the belief that this is a memorable day for him and the party. Consequently, out of sheer curiosity, The General Telegraph visited some health facilities in Accra just to find out the number of babies born on this historic day with the auspicious hope that they might all turn into great personalities someday. As of 2: 00 pm on Thursday, the Osu Maternity Home, La General Hospital , Police
