The tradition of signing peace accord when ever an election comes around raises many questions that tells the world about Nigerians political culture and often questioned the Democratic society of Nigeria because the tradition of signing peace accord remained an collosal assault to what democracy is all about and this was a manifestation that democracy had failed in Nigeria totally. About 20yrs of democracy in Nigeria the nonviolence spirit of democracy should have united Nigerians as people in many ways of which these spirit could have abolished the the undemocratic sense of regions, senses of religion and the senses of tribal sentiment that often divided the minds of Nigerians which were the major characteristics of Nigeria political culture however if the principles behind section 15 therein of the 1999 constitution are been put to us by the political parties there would be no need for peace accord because the philosophy behind the political objectives would create senses of compatriot by upholding patriotism in all political agendas collectively and individually as people devoid of religion, religion and tribal sentiment. Democracy had failed totally in Nigeria since it also failed to unite Nigerians as it united Americans that has more differences than Nigeria of which the major problem was the Nigerians political culture that moralised what is immoral, legalised what is illegal and above all turned politics to business affairs as only mean to be questionably wealthy where money rules every affairs of governance than rules of laws. These are all confirmation that democracy not really compatible with a sicked society like Nigeria where payments of workers salaries gives impression of doing them favor and also a subject of politics
