Why did oromo expand north into Ethiopia & Somaliweyn instead of bantu lands

The bantu lands were tiny in population and very fertile. I wonder why the oromo decided to push north instead of colonising Kenya and Uganda since I believe the oromo originated around the modern border between Kenya and Ethiopia.
It would've been much easier for oromo expansion into bantu lands and they would probably have the largest and most fertile lands out of any ethnicity in Africa but instead they decided to go to war with empires and get victimised by habash. Why?
