#TBDaily x Taking Mauritius in Pictures from #OnlyTheBest Content Showcase

#TBDaily x #OnlyTheBest There are mosquitoes in Mauritius and other cool Day 2 stories!

This post has to start with that revelation.

When you get on a plane in Naija, you assume you're leaving traffic, NEPA and yes, MOSQUITOES behind. I got bitten by two mosquitoes yesterday, or the same mosquito bit me twice. Either way, it was an interesting welcome. It could not however overshadow the main Welcome Dinner- a Night of a Thousand Stars. First off was the Walk of Fame with our names in stars...

Then there was the paparazzi screaming my name and scrambling to take my picture. A selfie here and an autograph there (ok fine I was just giving my email address out) and I was up for a great night.

Even the food was for #OnlyTheBest

Had to take a quick selfie with Banky W

I ended up crashing early because I knew the next day would be a long, fun one.

Breakfast, check! Then we had a Multichoice Roundtable where people had various questions like why there's no Pay Per View, how come GoTV was not available in certain countries, why Supersport had moved to a premium bouquet in others and more.

Considering that I had been remarking with my friends from Kenya that we (Nigerians) don't seem to know what goes on in Kenya, it was nice to hear from Multichoice that they will look into making content from one region available in all (eg, East African Content). Amen. Amen. Amen.

We had lunch, bumped into the stars like Stonebwoy and Basketmouth, then went off for Sony TV's take on the Amazing Race.

Naija Meets Ghana! Stonebwoy

My bandanna indicated I was in Team Red; not a bad team to be in. The race involved downloading an app, answering a question, getting the clue then going off! I ran past Korede Bello at some point but I had my eye on the prize. Did i win? Find out here- Sony TV takes us on an Amazing Race!

Not the first time i have been in a Team Red!

Running but had to take a picture of Korede Bello

I did win a Mojito though!

*sigh*
This Nigerian dey carry last o. Or at least almost.

I'm back in my room resting now after a session with Supersport (Caroline moderated and she was so good!). 

Join me here tomorrow for what else I'm getting up to but get instant details via my social media- 'tosynbucknor'.

#TBDaily x #OnlyTheBest Truly a Night of Stars (Tosyn takes Mauritius)

The invite said, "A Night of Stars" and by the time the night was over, it was obvious they tell no lies.
lol.

After a long flight and some rest, a welcome dinner at the Outrigger Beach Resort was the perfect way to settle in although, there was more dancing and picture-taking than settling.

The dinner was graced by stars like musicians (i spotted Banky W and Flavour), actors ( Genevieve, Rita Dominic, Ramsey Nouah and Desmond Elliot) and a comedian or two ( Basketmouth). Everyone felt like a star though, especially as we got on the pathway to see our names literally written in a star, (creating a Media Walk of Fame), and also had 'paparazzi' announcing us, screaming and taking pictures. There were loads of selfies tweeted, and if i didn't dislike my lip colour and how i styled my hair so much, i would have taken more pictures.

After the wine tasting, we sat down to dinner with hosts, IK and Eku Edewor kicking things off. There was a lot of music from some of my favourite movies like "Time of my Life" from "Dirty Dancing", and also a live edition of "Highlites with IK". His guest was Banky W and he suggested a 'Mrs W' reality show. Flavour and a lady from the audience, Adaora, were called on to play a game and thankfully, Flavour's questions were so tough that he had to take his shirt off.

No complaints here, thank you.

He also performed four songs and by the third song, everyone was finally shaking what their mama gave them.
Thank you mama.

The food was delish and the waiters kept our glasses full. I went more for juice though as i did not need a hangover the next day, but i did have some delicious white wine, because let us face it, if wine is made from grapes, then i was actually just drinking a salad.

There were speeches, but thankfully, nothing boring. First up was Tim Jacobs the Multichoice Africa CEO, and then from M-Net Regional Director West Africa, Wangi Mba-Uzoukwu.
In all, it was a great night and a foretaste of what i hope is to come.
