Or even among people from West Africa.

Even at the time of Wegener people were raising this objection, and 
proposing much more absurd explanations of the match between South 
America and Africa, such as "land bridges" that inexplicably sank. 
Anyway, we've learned a lot since then. Even the theory of plate 
tectonics has been around now for more than half a century. I suggest 
you read the article on it at Wikipedia and see if you can understand 
it.
