Aggrey of Africa.


I was very surprised to find my name among the "100 Greatest Africans of all time". I was even more surprised that Aggrey Aggrey can refer to: People
  • James Aggrey (1875-1927), Ghanaian missionary and teacher
  • Jimmy Aggrey (born 1978), English professional football player
  • Orison Rudolph Aggrey (born 1926), U.S.
 of Africa was not mentioned at all, which made me agree totally with your comment (NA, Aug/Sept) that in certain respects "the results are disappointing".

I would like to make two pleas. First, that my name be replaced by that of Dr James James, person in the Bible
James, in the Gospel of St. Luke, kinsman of St. Jude. The original does not specify the relationship.
James, rivers, United States
James.
 E K. Aggrey, and secondly, that you allow me to write an article for a subsequent issue of New African New African is an English-language monthly news magazine based in London. Published since 1966, it is read by many people across the African continent and the African diaspora.  which could not only help your readers worldwide realise why that great man was called "Aggrey of Africa", but also make those who kindly voted for me forgive my suggestion that I be replaced by somebody else.
