The ranking named Burson-Marsteller twiplomacy, refers to the use of Twitter and other social media sites by government agencies and officials to engage with the public, disperse information and even leverage global influence.

It looks at how Head of states and Government, Foreign Ministers and International organistions use social media channels.

Aside ranking 14th in the world, the @NgrPresident account which is the official account of Muhammadu Buhari as Nigeria’s president was also ranked 38 in the world.

@Magufulijp and @alsisiofficial, the twitter account of John Magufuli of Tanzania and Abdel Fatah elsisi of Egypt respectively are the only two African countries who made the list of the 50 World leaders. They are ranked 36 and 43 respectively.

Other social media accounts ranked include that of the President of the United States, (@POTUS) which was ranked Number 1 as well as King Salman (@KingSalam) of Saudi Arabia ranked number 2.

Pope Francis (@Pontifex) is ranked number 3, Barack Obama (@barackobama) in his personal capacity was ranked number 7, while the Saudi Foreign Ministry (@ksamofa) was ranked number 50.

A statement on the ranking posted by the organisation said it identified 793 Twitter accounts of heads of state and government, foreign ministers and their institutions in 173 countries worldwide.

“The study analyzes each leader’s Twitter profiles, tweet history, and their connections with each other.”

“Data was collected on May 1, 2016 using Burson-Marsteller’s proprietary Burson Tools to analyze the 628,000 possible Twitter connections between world leaders. Other variables considered included: tweets, following, followers, the date the user joined Twitter, tweets/day, retweets, percent of retweets, @replies, percent of @replies, tweets retweeted, average number of tweets retweeted.”

“Burson-Marsteller looked at each account to see if it has a header picture, if the account is dormant, active or protected and if the world leader tweets personally. We checked the language the account tweets and checked for the presence of Twitter lists.”

Same way you people respected Dr Jonathan, it's a two way street. The likes of Lai Mohammed and El Rufai denigrated that office, it's payback time.

Funny people

op you mean world most social median insulted;

if the oposite is what you mean I don't believe this. first Nigeria and Nigerians is very popular not by buhari so as a result any dummy president will be popular by chance.

when Ebola hit Nigeria the whole world know of Ebola by force.

Since Jonathan is not there I don't believe the rank

while families ar selling dier children for bag of rice, dis govt is more concern about social media na social media go provide food for table
dis headline should be ''buari is d most repressive head of state''.

I agree because he has successfully influenced Nigeria's economy to the ground. Social media government...

In other words this feat will EPP our economy

Are you still ranting SENTIMENTS and ILLOGICAL attributes, JUBILATING? BUHARI 14 RANKS WHAT?

Please continue to holding your tongues until you understand fully the TWO QUOTES below.

Awolowo On The Nigerian Civil War

"It appears to me that the causes of the last Civil War lie embedded in the nether realms of such degrading and depraving evils as unemployment; mass ignorance; endemic
and debilitating diseases; low productivity; abuse and misuse of power, bribery and corruption; favouritism and nepotism; ethnocentricity and TRIBALISM; much poverty and much discontent."

- Address to The Nigerian Trade Union Congress (1970): In Voice of Courage, 1981.

The language that counts is not Yoruba, Hausa, Igbo, English but.................... TRUTH.

Until we begin to act TRUTHFULLY, being HONEST in all our doings NIGERIA is going NO WHERE irrespective of what TRIBE or  LANGUAGE the President comes from or speaks or what ETHNIC GROUP or GROUPS that supported him to clinching the THRONE.

NIGERIA IS WHAT IT IS TODAY BECAUSE THE ONLY LANGUAGE WE SPEAK IS LIES.


"If you look at history, even recent history, (of the world) you see that there is indeed progress (but not Nigeria). . . . Over time, the cycle is clearly, generally upwards. And it doesn't happen by laws of nature. And it doesn't happen by social laws. . . . It happens as a result of hard work by DEDICATED people who are willing to look at problems HONESTLY, to look at them without ILLUSIONS, and to go to work chipping away at them, with no guarantee of success — in fact, with a need for a rather high tolerance for failure along the way, and plenty of disappointments". NOAM CHOMKSY

All of you who have PRIDE in TRIBE which is not even by your choice, should kindly continue holding your tongues ................... PLEASE until.

BUHARI RANKS 14TH ..............................hmm!

Tick-Tack there is no time for EMPTY RHETORICS. Your country keeps dying everyday from the stabs it recieves from the DAGGERS OF LIES.

If of d Buhari? Is he d one american or nigeria? Since we ve two Aisha.we must ve too Buhari,one in nigeria n one in american

Its "PAYBACK TIME". At whose DETERIMENT?

Lai Muhammad or El-Rufai or Millions of Nigerians other than those two and their gangs but you inclusive among the Multitude.

DemoCRAZY is truely a DISEASE.

APC would want to count dis as an achievement meanwhile buhari is all about negative influence. Buhari is THE WORST n MOST DIVISIVE PRESIDENT WE SHOULD NEVER HAVE HAD.

Negative influence...

Besides, it's not by followers or retweets, people want to be around his social media pages to rain curses on him.
