In the video, the controversial singer noted that people have advised him to hire labourers for the project, but he has refused.
He explained that he has been doing much of the work himself. He added that whenever he spends ₦10 million or ₦5 million, the remaining workload still makes it seem like no progress has been made.
Speaking further, Darlington said he should have built a simple three-bedroom flat like many people in Lekki, which he believes he would have completed by now.
He jokingly blamed someone named Chinasa for encouraging him to embark on the large project, questioning what he had gotten himself into.
