Lagos Slum Mechanic Trains and Mentors 3 UK Teens For BBC Reality TV Show
The UK's BBC3 has a new reality TV show titled Slum Survivors, which features young jobseekers who can't find work in the UK, and then the show gets them apprenticeships abroad.
The series kicks off in Lagos, which according to the BBC is a city obsessed with cars, and so the episode set in Lagos features British teens who want to be mechanics.
See photos of the reality show participants below as they fetch water, eat local delicacies, and do the local punishment, 'pick pin'. There's also a video trailer of the complete series.
For those who weren't happy with the other BBC show set in a Lagos slum, this is not a good idea. What do you think?
Beyoncé Might Have New Half-sister As Her Father is Served With Second Paternity Suit
According to court documents filed against Beyonce's 63-year-old father on May 30 by a Houston-area woman, Matthew Knowles may also be the dad of a female child born in 2010.
30 year old lingerie model turned estate agent TaQoya Branscomb filed the courts document on May 30th where she named Matthew Knowles as the father of her 4 year old daughter.
Beyonce already has one half-brother she doesn't acknowledge, this means there may be a half sister to add to the list if these claims are true.
The woman says she gave birth to the child in 2010 in Harris County, Texas, and is demanding Matthew Knowles takes a DNA test. She is also asking for child support and money for her attorney’s fees.

ADMIRAL MICHELLE HOWARD is the very first woman in the 239 years history of the US Navy to reach the rank of a Four-Star Admiral. And she's an African American.
Admiral Howard has faced critics who say she was promoted for political reasons rather than merit, a notion that both Mabus and Greenert were quick to dismiss in their remarks.
"Michelle has put in a tremendous career," Greenert said. "Thirty-two years of mainstream, at-sea, tough tours. Michelle came up through the amphibious expeditionary warfare arena and came into [Washington] and did the hard jobs that needed to be done. And so she is definitely ready to assume this position, there is no question in my mind."
