January can be a dull month as people drag themselves back to work after the colorful holiday season. Many people across Africa complain about being financially constrained and this makes the mood worse. However 2018 has started on a light note across Africa as Twitter got busy with people making relationships match-ups for people with similar features, activities and geographical positions.
The hashtag #DateOneSide was started in South Africa, but like a wildfire the whole of Africa and beyond jumped onto the bandwagon. Let's explore some of the hilarious tweets out of it..
Twitter user Mwes M Drew mocked Arsenal's loyalty of holding on to its long serving coach Arsene Wenger, further more using Manchester United's expressive photo.
