The fact that we have a presidential system of government doesn't mean our President is more powerful or must obtain better diplomatic priviledges than any prime minister or the German chancellor.

Again, is the Nigerian president more powerful diplomatically than the German chancellor or the British prime minister?

No.

The Chancellor's visit wasn't her first visit to the WH, she's been to the WH several times and even a State dinner was thrown in her honor, something only visiting powerful leaders get.

So, why did Emmanuel Macron get the prestigious State dinner at the White House last week and PMB didn't get a State dinner.? I s Macron not a prime minister? Is the German chancellor not a prime minister?


Stop embarrassing yourself with your elementary school ignorance.
The only person embarrassing himself here is u. Google macron again and tell us if he is a prime minister

Macron is actually the president of France, that was an error and a mix up with the German leader.

Even sef, after independence, we had a president/ZIK and a prime minister/Tafa Balewa, but ZIK was a nobody, he was just a worthless figurehead while Tafa Balewa as the Prime minister jets around the world representing Nigeria and meeting heads of state even JFK at the White House.

So, where was ZIK as the president of Nigeria?


Presidents under parliamentary governments are figureheads, the prime ministers are in charge and they represent their countries diplomatically as heads of government.

If the flags were lined during Merkel's visit and not lined when Buhari visited, your type won't call it wash. You will abuse PMB and tell us how Trump detested him.
What's your type?

Mr ignoramus! The president is the head of state and it's different from that of a chancellor both have different protocols during official diplomatic visits to other countries. This is because she reports to president and the both work in hand! Yes the chancellor or the prime minister in parliamentary rule is the head of government and she forms her government and reports to the head of state which happens to be either the president or the Queen ( as in United kingdom) or whoever is the head in the country.
And need I remind you that Germany has a president too! Mr I know too much about nothing.
wow

President Buhari's Charismatic Qualities is Indefinable, Read below what President Trump said at the World Press Conference.


"I stand with you the number one African president. I support you my fellow president. Your integrity is second to none. I am at your back in spirit, physical and in faith. Go on with your anti corruption fight against crooks in your country. I support you President Muhammadu Buhari. God is also with you".

~President Donald Trump today to President Muhammadu Buhari

They won't know that:

1. Germany has a president: they only know Angela.

2. Isreal has a president: they only know Netanyahu

3. The Queen is the head of UK: they only know Theresa.

Don't associate with bombers, they are localized in Nigeria.

Lol Angela Merkel is not a president! She's just the chancellor equivalent to that of a prime minister! So both have different protocols.
No, they are the heads of government of their countries, don't patronize us please.

You don't receive president and a chancellor the same way. Different protocols.

hope this helps? She's commander-in-chief because she is the head of government. the German President is near useless. He's the equivalent to a Nigerian vice-president.

Stop trying to win an argument you have lost already.

Read:

"Germany has a parliamentary system of government in which the Chancellor is the nation's leading political figure and de facto chief executive. However, the President, while not the chief executive post, has a more than merely ceremonial role."

Source: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/President_of_Germany

The words in bold mean that the German Chancellor is Germany's leading political figure in authority, just as Buhari is Nigeria's leading political figure in authority, so Buhari and Angela Merkel are correctly put on the same pedestal for comparison here. The German president has no power as compared to the Chancellor.
Re: Matt Hoye Compares Buhari's White House Reception To That Of Angela Merkel by nlanded:
ibotic:
The President of Nigeria is also the head of the armed forces of Nigeria. In Germany, the Chancellor who is Angela Merkel is the head of government but Germany has a separate President who is Frank-Walter Steinmeier....they have a similar system to the British...this might explain the difference in their receptionhuh...not too surehuh
There should be no difference in reception except one is respected more over another.


Both Buhari and Angela Makel hold the same political power in regards their nation's power and politics.

I think the argument about presidential/parliamentary dichotomy has nothing to do with the treatment of PMB vis a vis Merkel's, followers of international politics know that merkel and trump are not best of friends. And we know trump doesnt hide his displeasures.

That's the reason why.
