Someone explain to me where and how the beef between West and East Africans started?

[Swahili P'Bitek]

East....East.......East... ........














But a "Bantu" , so I'm with the west africans on the jokes hehee.

It's the same shyt that happens on here with the New York vs Down South shyt vs LA shyt. Nobody in real cares about it but it's controversial so a loud vocal minority can make things appear more than they are.

Right.

There is no beef.

That girl in the OP is a "feminist" troll trying to emasculate EA men using a stereotype.
She knows the incels are gonna jump straight to racist rhetoric and the idiots fall for it every time.

The praise EA women have gotten has gone to some of our heads (subconsciously even I do it),
and that shyt will backfire.
People like your "look", not you.

but that's another conversation and I'm too tired to get into it.

As for the meme, EA men are way too diverse to pinpoint,
but Eritrean men take the crown for the finest.

I would be lying if I didn't say in college, I seen a girl who was Ethios that I didn't go crazy for. That look at unique to me at the time and she was fine to me at that time. I am pretty sure that shyt would get to your head especially in 2020 where every girl who's bad can be an IG girl or at least get the love. shyt, I know success went to my head.

All in all, she just talking about her preferences of muscular men with a certain facial features. Women like what they like. I just wish she didn't have to insult anyone to do it.

I'll even add on to what others said.

Basically.....there are a ton of ethnic groups in Nigeria but Hausa, Yoruba and Igbo are the largest.

Hausa are mostly Muslim, historically very autocratic and didn't believe in education for women.

Igbo were very democratic and felt everyone should debate and give opinions to figure how to solve problems...more equality.

Yoruba are sorta traditional like Hausa but more open minded like Igbo.

The British felt that the Hausa's autocratic style and tendency to be less educated overall would make them easier to work with as leaders.....so the Hausa ended up with a ton of power during colonialism and even right when the Brits left. The northern part of Nigeria where the Hausa traditionally resided is quite a bit larger than the southwest (Yoruba) or southeast (Igbo).

However....the oil and wealth was in the southern parts, especially in Igboland. The Igbos wanted more influence and power since Nigeria's best monetary assets were near them. Plus they simply didn't like a top heavy government approach. Eventually they go to war....Biafran War, from 1967 to 1970. Igbo, with more money and support may have had a shot but the Hausa with some Yoruba help ended up winning.

I'm not sure Nigeria has even had an Igbo president since inception.

There's probably a lot more to the beef but that's what I know.

The UK and USA won that war for Nigeria. These was all about big oil and control for them.

It mostly stems from East African thoties (mainly Somali and Ethiopian) going for West African or West African looking men. The brothers in the east disown them for tribal/cultural reasons and mock the west.

Don’t get this wrong, it’s not an East Africa/West Africa beef.

More like Somali/Ethio vs the West.
