Every culture seeks to create an orderly society of law-abiding members. Thus, since orderliness, law and order are important components of democracy, a very strong cultural nurturing is important for a successful democracy. This paper argues strongly for effective cultural reorientation among the Eggon and their neighbours in order to facilitate functional democracy in Nasarawa State. The process of achieving the success of this paper was anchored on the adopted methodology. A carefully prepared questionnaire was administered in the field and responses were matched against available written documents for corroboration. The findings show that functional democracy is developed and nurtured by an effective cultural factor.enArticle
