of His Excellency John Franklin Kennedy simply known to many as JFK… Though he
ruled for a short time before he was assassinated but his days were remarkable
and commendable..He was elected a president of the United states on the party
platform of Democratic party but most of his programs where of Social
democratic ideals.. And in particular the followings:
Affirmative Action Programs: His Excellency John. F. Kennedy
began a radical program in his days called the affirmative Action program that
asserts the inalienable rights of all citizens of the united state to equality,
jobs, healthcare, and freedom from discrimination, nuclear and military parity imperatives
to world peace and security and he pursued these ideals with dexterity, determination
and youth….. The Affirmative action Program was designed like a quota system
among races that made up the America… so if you must employ you have to employ
a certain quota of whites, Blacks, Hispanic in that admixture of quota… and all
government agencies in the United States followed that legacy till today. But before
his time, wide spread discrimination was the order ; where establishment scorn
and frowned at employing blacks, Hispanics and other races….
He followed this noble ideal by introducing healthcare insurance
for most Americans and did a lot to develop education and infrastructural
development in the ghettos and inner city decay of America, He also pioneered a program that ameliorated
the urban poverty and rural decay and neglect in the American society… his days
were one of the most revolutionary for the American state of the United States…All
these programs are the pillars of Social DEMOCRATIC Ideals…May his Soul Rest in
Perfect peace…
Obama/Clinton Healthcare programs: Similarly Bill Clinton
and President Obama are from the same party of Democrats with JFK and they share
similar appearance, looks, heights, handsomeness, intelligence and social democratic
ideals with JFK…Bill Clinton pursued vigorously a populist policy trust of
social Democracy, especially in the aspects of Health care of Health Insurance
policy for all Americans.. He also extended olive branch to assist the rural drabness,
and urban frustration and poverty of the American peoples…
Obama’s 774 billion dollars infrastructural development bill
; For the rehabilitation, reconstruction
of American poors, The case of president Obama is still very fresh as at Last year
he introduced the 774 Billion dollars reconstruction of the rural areas of
America, urban poor AREAS Addressed to uplift the living standards of all the
poor peoples of America which includes job creation, education, healthcare,
provision of amenities for healthy living of all Americans… these are giant prerogatives
of Social Democratic ideals…that are highly commendable…
The Nigerian Forerunner of Social Democracy: And in the
Nigeria front the forerunners of social Democracy are Chief Obafemi Awolowo,
Alhaji Aminu Kano, Dr Sam Ikoku who were
also political allies as in the alliance between Action Group of His Excellency
Obafemi Awolowo , Dr Sam Ikoku and the Northern Progressive Elements of Alhaji
Aminu Kano popularly called the Talakawa’s Party…They all believed in Social
Democratic ideals as being the best options for true equality, rapid social
economic and industrial advancement of the Africa society…And in this context
Chief Obafemi Awolowo implemented remarkable social democratic programs in the
western region as the first Primer of Western Region…he introduced free
education at all levels, healthcare for all, housing for all, jobs for all,
water for all, public probity and sound representation…in the aspect of intelligent
quotient all the aforementioned three sages were sound intellectual and forthright
in all their dealing…they never accumulated wealth at the expense of the masses

Chuba Okadigbo, Alhaji Umar Musa Yar Adua as second generation
social democrats; the former president of the Nigerian Federation Alhaji Umar Musa Yar Adua, who began his political
career as a social democrat in the fold of radical social democrats of Nigeria
but later borrowed the ladder of a conservative PDP to attain to power and
began to implement Social Democratic programs to take Nigeria to the promised land
but he died before he could attained enviable levels of the implementations of
the social democratic ideals… otherwise before this time Basorun MKO Abiola a transformed
conservative flicked over to the side of social democracy after the implosion
of the NPN party and led the Social Democratic party to capture power in the celebrated
June 12 polls of the Nigerian federation… he died before he could actualize his
mandate…while other notable social democrats includes former Senate President
