Economic Association of Zambia (EAZ) president Noel Nkhoma has with immediate effect resigned his position.
Mr. Nkhoma who is former Finance Bank Zambia Executive director corporate banking and marketing says his decision to resign was personal.
He said with effect from today he has decided to resign as EAZ president on principle and lead a life out of the public eye.
Mr. Nkhoma confirmed that the decision to resign has been thought over and that he is sure he has made a best decision.
Mr. Nkhoma adds that he has been reflecting on the decision to resign for the past few weeks.

Good. I am sure this is the best decision for him. But why wasn’t he making such ethically and morally upright decisions whilst at FBZ?
When did he qualify as an economist in the first place? good riddance? I think such professional organisations should be headed with someone with atleast a basic economics degree.
Well done Mr Nkhoma !. Hope others will make similar decisions and quit out of principle. wishing you the best.
Does his resgnation have anything to do with problems dogging Finance Bank?
Noel was told either to resign or be forced out.
Big Mama U need to visit Alangizi Association of Zambia 4 help.
He showed the world that U don’t need a degree 2 get a gud job. Success comes from God. Success = GOD X Hard Working. He came back 4rom the UK after finishing his studies and He managed 2 get a gud job that pays gud money. Why didn’t u apply 4 the job? U need Alangizi Association of Zambia for Help.
Yes everything to do with finance bank. he has been forced to quit bcos he had become a shame to the association. He is a PR person I wonder how he was voted into this office. He needs a rest so that he can have time to swallow the pills ku toppinga
All the best Noel..sometimes its better to lead a quiet life in this country.
I dont care if he was forced,it good he has done so amidst threats of arrests over FBZ.I wish our daft politicians can emulate
I hear this guy has a good weapon of mass destruction and prominent chics lined up to him for a share. I hear he knows how to use his weapon especially after he has taken gun powder or mutoba. sorry but this is a strong rumour
#6 manda Hill, i am not talking about his job at finance bank, i am referring to the EAZ. It is a professional association and generally you need qualifications to represent peole in such bodies. If you do not understand the difference, i suggest we leave it at that.
mushota try out this guy and let the other womenfolk know not me Im content with what I have
#2 To be a president or chairman of an organisation you do not need a degree. Experience and people management skills are fundamental and key for such positions. I can understand that technocrats should have relevant qualifications in their line of work but again it doesnt have to be a degree. If you are not aware globally, interviews for jobs are now skills based as people with papers are not necesarily the cream and the best. The guy was a former CEO for a Bank and my assumptions are that he is likely to succeed as a president for EAZ
Noel has never been CEO of any bank check your records. Good decision NN
This is a wise decision especially with the eminent arrest for flouting the BFSA (1994).
lady gaga , you seem to know NOEL very well…not so..and what is MUTOBA??
bondix mutoba is gun powder which you men put in your beer or coffee for sexual stimulation and for the round to last not to release upon entry
Number 7 dont judge a book by its cover. Maybe he is just diabetic or has fi malaria. Spare the guy he has been thru too much.
I will still continue to appreciate the services rendered by Noel Nkhoma to Finance Bank and in particular the contributions on national issues. I particulary thank him for opening my eyes as a juniour banker at finance bank and business review sponsored by Finance Bank. A very vibrant young man indeed infact we need him more than we needed him at Finance Bank and Economic Association of Zambia as a country particulary in the private sector.
# Amayama, I agree with some of your observations, unlike manda Hill who made conclusions before discussing, typical of the intellectually challenged. However Economic Association is purely a technocrat body, its nothing to do with management as you think.
Noel, wherever you are continue with the same spirit and hardwork. They will talk and it will come to pass and they will prove you wrong coz some of us have seen how you started your journey at 25 and inspired a number of youths to be true to themselves.
Lady gaga Lady gaga…interesting indeed….but i will keep to my natural self…these african Viagras..dont want to end up like The Late Nigerian Dictator SANI ABACHA…all the same we shall wait for a report from our one and only MUSHOTA, as per your request..
Coming to Noel, i have interacted with the guy in professional circles, he is a talented marketer and true asset to this country..he just found himself in tricky circumstances where elephants were fighting…I am sure he will pick up the pieces and live a peaceful life, just like any citizen….
apologize, Big Mama
4 giv me.
#16 I wonder what sort of woman you are if you can discuss your mischief men do to their drinks to get their weapons so that they go a distance. Quiet strange coming from a lady – you are spoiled.
I am sure EAZ have a criteria for picking their presidents and for them to have picked him, he must have qualified. I may be wrong though but thats my humble take.
Above all Noel is a very humble and helpful guy.
It’s good noel is passing through all this when he still has the muscles to marshal himself through thick and thin to the critics he will pick up and dust himself. This is a good lesson even to those who serve in institutions where corruption and all the illegal activities takes place that maintain your innocence up the time when you can vindicate your selves.
imwe none of you are analysing the story. you are just discussing noel at finace bank not noel at EAZ. Be realistic
#12 ulekubwa going by your comment at #10. This is no talk from one who is content with their status quo.
#27 destroyer do you also have a nice weapon of mass destruction
No. 2 Big Mama and No 13 Amayama, for your information, this young man has an MBA from the UK! Although, he is not my favourite person (as I find him a bootlicker- worse than Senior Citizens) but he is with us ‘mubwato’ so I will reserve my judgment! Give him a break (his bank has just been Nationalised!
Referee, EAZ is a professional organisation that among other things interacts with Government and other skirt or sorry!! stake holders. As such you can not be expected to interact and even advise people who have terminated your employment. So Noel has resigned on moral grounds as a true professional which very few people can do.
Even Mbulu of MUZ must take a leaf from this honourable decision.
Even our politicians like Hon George Kunda must have resigned instead of changing gears.
Even the ECZ director and Police IG must have resigned over Mufumbwe by elections
Even William Banda must have resigned after the Chilanga Saga
Even Sata must have…..well let me not go there for now
So this is a lesson we must learn from Noel’s action though i do appreciate that we are in ZAMBIA..
OK.

He will never sail in dream bwato.Him being Mahtani’s blue eyed boy (chola boy), I dont see him ‘leading a life out of the public eye’, coz he ll have to answer for the unsecured loans,him and his cohorts syphoned from FBZ.
PACT PRESIDO
VJ Rigger , Loans are part of the conditions just like those huge bonuses given to top brass at Merill Lynch and goldman sachs …Its called motivation, the capitalist way..You motivate the best to the max and you get the max..thats how it goes unless you are a CIVIL SAVAGE(CIVIL SERVANT) where you have to motivate yourself using DONOR FUNDS
The EAZ should change its name to ‘Business Association of Zambia’. There are very few economists in that organisation. As for those condemning this man for resigning, what the hell is wrong with you people? When someone doesn’t resign, all manner of nonsense will be showered on them whenever they issue a public statement. This man is a true professional.
Ladies and Gentlemen hold you arsenals… Noel has a certificate (Association of Business Executives)from West London College and he did a shibukeni MBA in Management in the US. He has no economics degree…. However, Common sense is the REAL Education not degrees or titles.

you have a point about EAZ.I visited the website and this is what is on membership:’The Economics Association of Zambia is a non partisan professional organisation for economists and professionals in related disciplines. Its broad aim is to promote the discipline of economics thereby contribute to the country’s socio-economic development.’
Imagine if LAZ has same loose membership requirements?That,s why we have people purporting as economic pundits yet have business-related professions as is the case with Mr. Noel Nkhoma.

Myself I personal know Noel. He was my school/domitory mate at Munali Sec sch, he complited in 1986 .. Myself in 1987… Note that Nujoma ruled Nambia even if he did not have a sch. certicate or diploma. Out of experience one can manage a business or get a white collar job. I don’t have a degree inhere but I hv everything needed in life, own house, own vehicle etc.. what is a degree for when you just end up into huge debt (student loan) taking years to repay.
Uncle Noel has always been a pretender. Initially, Marketing Head at FBZ, he’s real job was PR and Govt relations and Rajan used him for so called ‘connections’ in corridors of power. Before we knew it, he was Director Corporate Banking as well as EAZ Chair (both portfolios for which he was ill qualified!). Take a bow Noel and focus on hammering young pu-ssy as you always do.
FAZ, LAZ and EAZ always in the news for the wrong reasons. You hardly hear anything commendable from these AZ’s.
I have seen him on a professional capacity that i can not discuss on the blogg. Ihope i was not personal above, but my focus is sanity in the nation first before personal issues. Thanks everyone,Mr Nkoma (Note the ommitted letter ‘h’ that applies to proud easterners) thats a good decision, congratulations.
Noel,the tifitifi,the destroyer,the’economist ‘,the womanizer ,the kachepa,the bootlicker,the praise singer member,the mutola nkani, the banker, awe mwandi the list is endless
ba Lazalo bailishanya!
As usual the zambian PHD problem to everyone. Remember it wil one day be done to you unless you remain a nonentity.
Kanjimaano, Degrees are not money making machines but a way to acquire knowledge and contribute to humanity. You are right, you dont need a degree to be rich..look at GBM, BILL GATES, LARRY ELLISON, MICHAEL DELL…no degrees but they have more money than you and i will probably ever have in life….
Now Einstern, Newton, Christiaan Barnard etc all did not make a lot of money in their lives but look at the impact they created so that you and i may lead better lives…
So if you can further your education, please do so as far as you can go…GET THE POINT??
Ooh i forgot my main men…..EF Codd,CJ Date, Fabian Pascal, Hugh Darwen etc relatively poor people but huge contribution to humanity…the power of Mathematics as a tool for development
Thats for #37
Laddy Gaga, It seems you like the toys found in between legs of men and you like them big. Talk to no. 38 big pipe maybe he can assist you. How did you know that the young man Noel is gifted in terms of wepaon of female distruction? Did Mushota tell you or you and Mushota drunk from the same watering hole?

Thanks for your contribution. Good point of view. Knowledge is shared, where knowledge is not shared ignorance predominate.
