How to use "compare"

Monday, May 23, 2016
 I was glued to watching an exclusive interview with a popular Nollywood actor and I heard him say: "You cannot compare me with Nonso Diobi".m My question: Isn't that a blunder to say? It is "compare to", not "compare with".
 Examples: I can't compare my taste now to what I had as a child (not "compare with"). Beans contains more nutritional supplements when compared to rice (not "compared with").
 I think this is clear enough, isn't it?
