Abstract
Abubakar Gimba is a novelist who through his
writing seeks to re-invent the Nigerian dream. In each
of his novel, he delves into the complex socio-political
problems confronting Nigeria and blames the country's
general state of underdevelopment on the moral weaknesses
of its citizens. It is implied in Gimba's novels that
if Nigerians want to actualize the dream of the
founding fathers of their nation they must trod the path
of Honour and morality in everything they do. This is
t h e o n l y way they can build a prosperous, united and
democratic Nigeria. This project is a critical appraisal
of Gimba's passionate search for Honour and Morality in
Nigeria as enunciated in his novels.
