thats a lie, Buhari doesn't travel that way.
The country he visits do provide the security for him, he has his own special team that travels with him but not armed personelles
lol, you don't know. I was 62 regular course in NDA, was in timer 2 (equivalent to 200 l) most of my classmate then in NDA are captain, major and Lt. Colonel. Two of them are in bubu security details. The country he is visiting, provide security but he goes with personal securities. Bubu is even big, as small as wife of the president, she travel out with her ADC and two securities with weapons. If you don't believe me, kindly find out.

Seeing that he's the grand commander of the only superpower in the world, it's not hubris, it's fact.

We all know that US president is one of the most protected world leaders on earth, he travels to wherever he wants with armed security guards from US marines, FBI agents among other special forces.

US air force uses C-17 transport plane to carry the presidential limousine called the beast with several other vehicles to where he's going ahead of his arrival.

The Beast has 8-inch armor plating and five-inch thick bulletproof windows, and Kevlar reinforcement for the giant Goodyear tires that are also run-flat. The cabin is sealed for the outside world for protection against a chemical attack and special foam surrounds the fuel tank in case of an impact.

Do you know any other world leader that travels with such large number of security men?

Can our own president travel to US with armed Nigerian soldiers? Will they be allowed?
Projection of power.
World's only Superpower by Numbers.

He is one of the most powerful presidents.

A man that should be protected at all cost, his death may start a war so he needs to be protected
Not may.

His death WILL cause war, unless the murderers are unknown.

its preference and that is how america decide to protect their own.

Now that his motorcade has every security he needs, infact his own car has sample of his blood and with a push of a button, the car is surrounded by a high voltage electricity that can shock you to death if u dare touch the car, there is bomb detector among one of the convoys, there are powerbikes that could easily reach particular areas and advice of impending dangers.

I don't think u will have such a motorcade and not travel with it
It’s also about respect and level of protection needed. Not every president can bring that to any country. Unless they value and respect u to that level.

It’s like another level of security protocol and protection.

President Xi is even more powerful.

He has unfettered powers and the economic might to back up his actions.

The US president on the other hand can barely get anything done. If a federal judge doesn't strike down his order, Congress or the Supreme court does.

And if that's not enough he can be voted out in 4 years.
Xi is powerful, Lotus rules the most powerful nation

That's not the power he was referring to, the power we are talking about is the might of the military and the country as a whole. Presidents come and go, some are eccentric like trump, some are inept like Biden but one thing remains true for all of them, they hold the fate of not only Americans but the world at large. Case in point, W. Bush and his lies about Iraq, not only did he get the power to destroy his father's enemies but he affected the entire world and the way things are done. Xi might have dictator like powers but even Xi no fit grab lion by the balls, U.S president will do so and still blame lion for having balls grin grin grin

I like this comment. Buhari too can be compared to China president in a way. The reason is America has a handful of enemies so in countries without adequate security he has to be well protected but in friendly countries with good security he travels with fewer security detail. On international flights the presidents plane; airforce 1, is equally escorted by jet fighters from aircraft carriers on the route of his flight. Imagine such a country.

Because America is a wasteful country that has created so many enemies and are now afraid of their own shadows.

The US president does not travell with those security agents you mentioned.

It's only the Secret Service that is constitutionally mandated to secure and protect the US presidency.

No military, police or FBI has business with White House affairs.
Re: Why Does US President Travel With So Many Soldiers and cars To other Countries? by Originalsly: 7:28pm On Jan 27, 2022
It depends on how well liked.... or hated is the President. Bush needed maximum security.... so did Trump..... both hated worldwide.... hardly travelled because of this...... a big challenge to protect them from harm. Obama..... a different challenge.... to keep off the 'fans". The same challenges happen travelling within the US.
