The fact that the child occupies a prime importance in the African culture has driven some African writers like the Nigerian Buchi Emecheta (The Joys of Motherhood) and Flora Nwapa (Efuru) as like the Nigerienne Boubou Hama (l‟Aventure extraordinaire de Bi Kado Fils de Noir), to discuss the impact of childlessness in traditional African household. This lack of child is seen as a misfortune, a tragedy or a calamity. The infertility (sterility) or barrenness leads, most of the time, to divorce and downgrades barren woman to the second class in her own community. The aim of this paper is to discuss the prime importance of procreation in Boubou Hama‟s novel titled The Wonderful Adventure of Bi Kado an African Child. This autobiographical work makes the author‟s entire childhood genesis and puts into exergue the Zarma- Soŋey people‟s cosmogony and religious beliefs of both Niger and Mali. This research paper, through a socio-historical and literary approach, will put an accent on four principal axes: (i) historical background of the Zarma- Soŋey people, (ii) Cosmogony and religious beliefs among the Zarma- Soŋey, (iii) value of a child among the Zarma- Soŋey people.
