Darlington stated, “This message is for my brothers who are planning to marry. Listen to me, you are not more exposed than I am.
@My job makes me travel a lot. So, I think I’m very qualified to give this advice. Avoid Igbo girls, they’re not great for marriage. I am an Igbo guy and I am telling you about our girls. Avoid Igbo girls, they’re very greedy and unappreciative. They behave like black American women; nothing you give a black American lady is enough.”
“Avoid Igbo girls, they’re not great for marriage. They’re also proud, they’re the number one prõst!tutes in Nigeria. Most social media feminists are Igbo Women"

He further commented, “Igbo women are also very proud, unlike Yoruba and Hausa women. I wonder how someone is going to live with such a braggadocious woman. They’re the number one prostitutes in Nigeria. Most social media feminists are Igbo women.”
His statements have sparked significant backlash, with many criticizing him for projecting his personal frustrations onto Igbo women and accusing him of unfairly generalizing his experiences.
