In order to make its contribution to the fight to safeguard the Burkinabè religious heritage, Savane FM radio broadcasting in Burkina Faso has included in its program entitled »Sonre«, a section called »thought and proverb of the day« which consists of read and comment on a thought and a proverb in each issue. We have devoted this study to it, the objective of which is to make a sociological analysis of the educational and socio-cultural aspects contained in this radio range. Starting from the hypothesis that the section is a springboard for denouncing social flaws, an exaltation of moral and civic values and an invitation to consider Burkinabè culture as a guarantee of development, this research, supported by a qualitative method made up of interviews, sample analysis and documentary research show that this radio is a local media and has a certain cultural anchorage. The section analyzed has a considerable contribution to the lives of listeners and appears to be a formidable means of information and an educational area for the populations since it is a forum for sharing life skills, good practices and fundamental life values turning around solidarity, respect for others, living together, love of neighbor, patriotism, dignity, work, honesty, sharing, civic-mindedness, commitment, listening etc,... Also, the promotion of culture and development in Burkina Faso are perceptible there because the proverbs and the thoughts meet the needs of transmission of the elements of socialization and remain of the best tools of questioning of the vital problems of the populations.
Finally, devoting a special slot each month to comments and testimonials from listeners, initiating sessions to collect the thoughts and proverbs of listeners and special programs dedicated to children, publishing books compiling the proverbs and thoughts collected are, among other strategies, proposed appropriation.
In this article, we explore the proximity or even the complicity that exists between the animal world and the human world in the Moose of Burkina Faso through the distribution of thoughts, proposals and philosophies to animals. This phenomenon may be perceived as a sociological fact or a cultural vehicle that is not only available from oral genres and media but also on the basis of the wildlife, ecological and cultural heritage of this community. Part of the hypothesis that the attribution of proposals makes it possible to denounce the faults of men without frustration and to influence the social and cultural life of Moose, the study comes to the conclusion that, indeed, these propositions are social realities and of oral literature having an undeniable impact on the social life of the skin by playing the role of cultural and identity imprints, by expressing the realities of the environment, by containing values, customs, habits of this community and in objective of moaaga education.
Finally, the study proposes to revalorize by judiciously exploiting the channels which are the media, the cinema, the Internet, the writing for the fixer and bringing it closer to the young generation.
