MTN pls do the needful, if you can't pay the fine, then leave our country, I'll like to recall what this so call MTN network has done to Nigerians, MTN made us believe that billing per second in in impossible not untill Globacom came and started with per second billing before mtn could revert to per second billing. Enough is Enough

MTN didn't hire Eric Holder as a defense lawyer in the case, no, instead they hired him to play the role of a lobbyist for them.

Is that the out-of-court settlement they pleaded for? MTN is sitting on a gun powder and would soon explode. If they like, let them hire former attorney general of the whole world, they won't escape Justice. Na dey swear wey ppl don swear for their head dey affect them.

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.
Under the legal practitioners Act, he can practice in Nigeria by virtue of a Licence issued by the CHIEF JUSTICE OF NIGERIA

As simple as that. If it is advisory role, maybe but not to challenge the fine.

Hiring Holder doesn't mean he will argue in Nigerian courts. Might just be an advisory role. Besides, he used to be a partner at a law firm that represents International clients

I think it's high time we kick MTN out of this country, since they choose to flaunt our laws.

We don't receive the preferential treatment they enjoy here in their home country.

Ghen ghen!!! The showdown begins.

But let's be sincere, that fine is way too outrageous. That's about 4 times the total worth of Otedola. This is purely a national conspiracy against MTN. Methinks, [b]NCC should just come out plain and boldly ask MTN to leave the country. [/b]That seems like the general demand, even amongst the citizenry.

$3.9bn fine on one company is insanely cruel & unrealistic. Even Microsoft Corporation cannot joke with such funds. If MTN NG pays that amount, they will surely feel it.

Exactly, mtn should leave Nigeria since they have no regard for our laws simple.
