Speed Darlington Faces Backlash After Advising Bachelors to Avoid Marrying Igbo Women

Controversial rapper Darlington Okoye, aka Speed Darlington, who recently set fluency in the Igbo language as a criterion for his potential wife, has now reversed his preference for Igbo women.

In a video message shared on his social media, Darlington advised bachelors to avoid marrying Igbo women, claiming they “are not great for marriage.”

He described Igbo women as “proud and promiscuous.”

Speed Darlington said, “This message is for my brothers 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.

“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 comments sparked backlash, with many criticizing him for projecting his personal frustrations onto Igbo women and generalizing his experiences.
