Eric Holder?

Even in the United States, a Lawyer not Licensed in another State cannot defend or do anything as a Lawyer in that State, let alone one from the United States coming to Africa to defend a Company known for ripping her Customers off.

Eric Holder lives and practices Law in the United States, MTN operates and ripped people off in Nigeria, so is answerable to the Laws of Sango and our Land.
he sure can come defend his client. he needs d express permission from d CJN
omogidi234:

Please check the procedure for practicing law worldwide before you utter such comments. The man can't even practice in all the States of US not to talk of NIGERIA. You cannot practice in a Jurisdiction other than where you are licenced. If he wants to act as an Attorney to MTN, he will go to Nigerian Law School for One year and he would be called to the Bar in Nigeria. Otherwise, he could collaborate with the Big law firms in Nigeria and give them ideas based on his experience.

Unless he is barred from practising law in Nigeria, he can practise law here. Only judges have specific areas of jurisdiction.

that clearly tells you they hired him as a lobbyist to lobby the united states government to put pressure on our President.i blame the minister.he should seize their licence immediately and take the pressure to them.if he has done so in less than a week they would have paid,imagine they are willing to spend on lawyers and lobbyist but not ready to pay the fine,what those that tell you.they have no respect for Nigeria,so we must make them learn respect.

Isn't this what Barack Obama refer to as filibuster strategy in one of his books(AUDACITY OF HOPE). Since the commencement of this matter, MTN has been gaining ground. From the money being reduced to a shift in payment deadline. And i thought they have agreed to sought the matter out of court. And again bring a foreigner attorney is a slap on the face on our lawyers and if he(Eric holder) wins or get more favours for MTN, then its a shame on the country's judiciary.

He can make a representation here, our law permits that, however with some flexible requirements.

Why is Nigeria govt afraid of MTN?

When Nigerian banks were fined, they paid sharp sharp. So, why is MTN allowed so much freedom to the extent of toying with our sovereignty?
