Kerry Washington and Nnamdi Asomugha - October 2013 - BellaNaija
Hollywood star Kerry Washington is fast learning 'Igbo' from her Nigerian-American NFL Player beau Nnamdi Asomugha.
Yesterday she posted what Ibos usually say during the end of the year on her page and her Nigerian fans were so excited.
She posted ''Afo gbara aka laa oo'' which means 'May the year end without taking anything precious from us' Hope my translation is correct?!See snapshots http://www.kemifilani.com/2014/01/hollywood-star-kerry-washington-shares.html

Later some people in Nigeria will open their shameless mouth to say "I can't speak igbo" (in an obviously fake foreign accent- cos it's tinged with igbo accent).

Una don see? The whites are sick of hearing you speak their language, please! Be different, be unique

@OP Afo gbara aka laa o literally means let the year go empty handed. Ie let it go away without leaving any misfortunes behind.

Nnamdi is truly an Igbo ambassador.
