Nigeria’s ambassador-designate to Mexico, Reno Omokri, on Tuesday reacted to claims that 10 million Nigerians registered with the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) within 24 hours, saying the figure is not realistic given current technology.
He made the statement on Facebook, where he explained why such a number is unlikely, citing limits in website capacity and global examples.
Omokri said it is “technologically impossible” for the NDC website, in its present form, to handle that volume of registrations in one day.
He insisted that no single website in Africa has the ability to register 10 million users within 24 hours, especially when the process involves detailed personal data.

He explained that registering such a large number of people would require very strong server systems.
These systems must be able to process heavy data such as biometric details, biodata, and other personal information at high speed without failure.
To support his point, Omokri compared the claim with known global records. He noted that even ChatGPT needed 40 days to reach 10 million users.
He also said that X, formerly known as Twitter, has never added 10 million new users in a single day.
He further pointed out that the only platform known to have achieved such a rapid growth is Threads.
However, he explained that this was possible because Threads is owned by Meta, which linked the platform to existing Facebook and Instagram accounts. This allowed users to join quickly without starting fresh registrations.
Based on these examples, Omokri questioned the credibility of the NDC claim. He suggested that political groups should be careful with public statements if they want to maintain trust.
“Perhaps political parties can be more cautious in their claims if they want to be taken seriously by the public,” he stated.
The NDC has not publicly responded to Omokri’s remarks at the time of this report.
However, Omokri’s claim has drawn attention online about the accuracy of political figures and the need for clear data.
