Reading time: 1 minutes


Your salary feeds your family, but your absence slowly devours it from within.

🌳 The Baobab of Choice — How does it work?

Every week Baobizz plunges you into a dilemma rooted in African realities.
No good answer, no bad one: two paths, two values, an impossible decision.

Read the staging, choose your camp, vote — then come back 48 hours later
discover the complete analysis and what your choice says about you.

You left. Thiès seven years ago for Dakar. You share a room at Parcelles Assainies with two cousins, you work in a call center, and every month you send 120,000 CFA francs to your mother. Thanks to you, your little sister Fatou finished high school. But your mother's getting older, your father died last year without you saying goodbye, and your uncle just offered to take you back to the family orchard. The problem: Dakar costs you so much that you don't save anything, but the orchard won't pay for three years. If you leave, Fatou will have to give up his first year of college.

What do you choose?


A — You stay in Dakar and sacrifice your presence to finance Fatou.

B — You go back to the village to raise the orchard, even if you stop Fatou.
