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.? Is Macron not a prime minister? Is the German chancellor not a prime minister?


Stop embarrassing yourself with your elementary school ignorance.

pls stp educating a bitter soul.shame and pride wont allow her admit her flaws

seunmsg:
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.

macron isn't a prime minister. He is a president

Frank-Walter Steinmeier

...nope...is the British prime minister the commander in chief of the armed forces?...yes some countries president just play ceremonial role like Israel or Germany but still the prime minister is not the commander in chief but the head of the government...in England for example the Queen is more like the President but its ceremonial and she is the commander in chief of the armed forces why Theresa may is the head of the government...they are actually two different tinz...technically the Queen is in charge but in reality it is not...

we aren't talking about Britain here, but Germany. And in Germany's constitution, the Chancellor is the commander-in-chief. Ref:: Articles 54-61 of German Basic Law.
Talking about Britain the Queen is a figure head "Commander-in-chief". Long-standing
constitutional convention, however, has vested
de facto executive authority, by the exercise
of Royal Prerogative powers, in the Prime
Minister and the Secretary of State for
Defence, and the Prime Minister (acting with
the support of the Cabinet ) makes the key
decisions on the use of the armed forces.
Pls stop arguing unnecessarily. And u don't pick a clause out of a paragraph & interpret it in isolation.

You are really funny.

sweerychick:
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.

Stop arguing with that deomelllo. All he knows is tribal bashing . He has absolutely nothing upstairs.

Some of us knows the truth but too shy to admit it. The same protocol goes for everybody but you can add more shine to some you revered.

Frank-Walter Steinmeier

well. i guess i shouldn't feel ashamed for not knowing him since all presidents under monarchial systems (of governance) are plain "figure heads"

Emmanuel Macron is a President and not a Prime Minister .

sweerychick:
Lol Angela Merkel is not a president! She's just the chancellor equivalent to that of a prime minister! So both have different protocols.

I like very intelligent people,not people who spew thrash in the name of "I must comment "

IVORY2009:
She is the head of govt....

And not state

sweerychick:

that is not correct. the fact is that A. Merkel's visit was not an official one, she just 'dropped in'. So no need for the fanfare.

deomelllo:
The German Chancellor is the head of Government, just like PMB, Emanuel Macron, Teressa May and they all have the same diplomatic reference.


Angela Merkel is the head of the German government and the fact that we have a presidential system of government doesn't mean our president is above or more important than a prime minister.


It's like saying Teressa May of England is below PMB per diplomatic scale.



That was ignorant on your part.

Zombie.


Theresa May is a prime minister, Emmanuel Macron is a president, May reports to the Queen, Macron reports to no one.

luvinhubby:
And not state

No they have an head of state and also head of govt, they practice Parliamentary sys of govt.

Note: head of states is equal to president in Germany.

Full military honour to a Retired General, and commander in chief of the armed forces of his country...

sweerychick:

you go school

That's because PMB is a military General.

Most nairalander don't have an iota of knowledge as regards international/comparative politics. They take sides where the pendulum swings and think that the more likes or shares mean right. I could bet that he wrote "epic reply" because she is of the opposite sex. These are the "women wrapper "

frankmoney:
she just wrote rubbish and you are shouting epic reply

Buhari was a Military General,
All that was Military Honor given to him.

Angela Merkel is civilian
Most heads of state are usually civilians, so military honors are not usually accorded.

Kudos to those who replied with this info earlier.

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.

Yes, it is true that they run the government and President are mere ceremonial. But Presidents are ranked higher in official circle.

Nice and intellectual argument. Seun should try organize political debate competition and car as price for winner. I learned some things today in NL for d first time. I heard to do more research on this.

Ewu make your point as he did, he is not am illiterate like you and your Buhari.

no one has a monopoly of knowledge. We all learn everyday

SBG04:
Stop talking rubbish!
Merkel is the German head of state! Buhari is Nigeria's head of state.
How can you type something like this when you're not an illiterate?

You must be a complete fool if you can't make your case without throwing insults. You can make use of Google to know Germany does have a President.
