🌳 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've been living in Dakar for seven years. You left your village in Casamance to work, send money to your mother, pay the education of your two little sisters. Every month, you transfer half your salary. But Dakar's strangle: your rent has doubled, the rice has blazed, you sleep three in a room at Parcelles Assanies. Your uncle's calling. In the village there is a family land, a market gardening opportunity, a women's cooperative looking for a manager. But leaving is losing your urban wage — The only net that keeps your family from sinking.

What do you choose?


A — You stay in Dakar, you survive for your family to survive.

B — You're going back to the village building an uncertain future but yours.
