Merkel is a chancillor and buhari is a president

cyrilamx:
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 "

for real bro it's appalling .

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.

You're on point his name is Frank-Walter Steinmeier. Frank-Walter Steinmeier is a German politician serving as President of Germany since 19 March 2017. He previously was Minister for Foreign Affairs from 2005 to 2009 and again from 2013 to 2017, and as Vice-Chancellor of Germany from 2007 to 2009

the whole argument is who is more important and deserve the right accolades , not whether Germany has a president or not , the truth is the Chancellor wields more power and is technically more important and recives more accolades Tha the president

this is the kind of issue we should be discussing,not wasting our time on irrelevant bbn,

ijechikky please send me a pm or mention me on this account. I lost your num, its Munachi.

My friend, you are confusing two different things to mean same.
The british practice what is called constitutional monarchy fashions in parliamentary styles. The germans have purely parliamentary system. Although the two look the same, there are some marked differences in practice.
One difference between the two is that: while the queen as head of state of Britain can be said to be the president of Britain, she also equates as the commander-in-chief of the armed forces and as well the chief security officer of Britain in whose lies the last commend. This is also true of countries like Iran with monarchical system. Put Germany in question, it case is difference because the prime minister doubles as the head of government as well as the chief security and commander-in-chief of the armed forces of Germany. The president plays a mere ceremonial role in the country with some little power over few constitutional matters. So, the position and roles of president, as well as that of prime minister in both countries are not merely the same.

You are absolutely right. Don't mind those people spewing thrash on what they don't know. But Iran uses Theocratic-democratic system of government. The Ayatollah is the commander-in-chief of Armed forces, while the president is in charge of economy and represents the country(Iran) across the globe.

See what GOT is doing to you...smh..lol

Its not only the GOT there widen ur focus

I read some people's comment, it shows how they hated PMB but God pass una. They even typed gibberish about Angela Merkel not as powerful because her reception wasn't like PMB. PMB and Frau Merkel are both commanders-in-chief in the their respective countries. Stop displaying your foolishness just because you hated PMB. The man is loved by the comity of nations.

God protect and bless PMB!
God protect and bless Nigeria!

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.

this one don't have brain.

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.

Senseless pelzin. You don't know, they're teaching you, you still won't learn.

Before pa Buhari exists office, USA will sell to Nigeria all their obsolete war planes they have condemned. See how they are laughing at Nigerian government because they know they don't have sense of their own. otherwise, how can you explain a minister who could not read a report that was sent to him.

I prefer the lady's explanation. She attempted to answer the question. And you with all your yapping and blabbing and trying to install yourself as the most intelligent of all times, didn't even attempt answering the question. You know too much to know anything. Iranu...

But which one did they give open warning and rebuke of the two?

Please, rephrase your sentence. Who gave open warning? Who was rebuked?

You should know that the queen of England holds ceremonial role (figure head),yes they report to them but can still do without them

yes I do know. I'm not saying that they're not important what I am saying is that the hold different protocols during official visits to other countries. I refuse to reply some nitwits here that only know how to spew thrash without any thing tangible to say

gtown:
These are some of the comments the likes of FFK and his co corruption paddlers in PDP are jittery about. They have been trying to cover from nigeria by selling different narratives of the president discussion with trump to their gullible fans. The PDP even went berserk with frustrated anger, saying the visit was total failure. All the Pro Corruption Media Personnels have dusted their book and refilled the ink of their pens to reele out different picture from the real out come.
When the president told what was already known fact to the world how they stole our money with no remorse, they said he demarketed them. But trust to Mr Buhari, as he will continue to expose them for their atrocities against nigerians.

Well spoken fellow Compatriot.

K More grease then

Merkel is not C-in-C of Germany. But neither is Steinmeier. The de-facto C-in-C is the Minister of defence. He only relinquishes that position in times of war. That said, the German president receives accolade as C-in-C in diplomacy.
Also, there's no such thing as an "international General" as some here are trying to paint Buhari. Military background have no bearing in international engagements. Though there's been no explanation for the flags, I believe it may have to do with him being head of state as this has a superior status to being head of government in international circles whether ceremonial or not

Hahahahaha
You are really funny.

.is it true?

CaptJeffry:
Trump even said it. Nigeria is the best country in the whole world.


I wish I could slap trump for that satirical insult.

Lol trump doesnt talk seriously for all I know he was being sarcastic

I dont know who is right or who is wrong between you two, but this is the first time i have seen a female moniker argue intelligently here on Nairaland, most of them (not all) are just dumb,stupid and are just about money & broke guys, as if the are guys the ones that made them unfortunate.

khalidx:
see your life.
You want to claim you are educated, but you just exhibited the pinnacle of illiteracy

Damn son you just said it all

The reason is simple!

Buhari is President - both head of state and head of government.

Merkel is head of government only.

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

channel your energy to the learning of English.
Correct your self.
Don't blame your blunder on typographical error

Senile old man. I used to be a staunch supporter of PMB until he destroyed d reputation of Nigerian youths who continue to thrive despite d harsh economic situation created by his generation. His generation have a peculiar attitude of not accepting faults when his corruption inherently prevented d nation from achieving its full potentials by institutionalising corruption. Only a foolish leader disgraces d future of his country in such a manner. No other pres was dumb enough to make such a mistake. What PMB did is in unforgiveable

Can you let us know what she'd is essentially different from the positions of the Prime Minister of Germany and the executive President of Nigeria, since you insist the difference
