Nigerian comedian, actor, and content creator, MC Lively whose real name is Michael Sani Amanesi, speaks on why he quit his career as a lawyer for comedy.

During a recent conversation with renowned media personality Chude Jideonwo, the alumnus of Obafemi Awolowo University shared that he was offered a mere N5,000 to work at a law firm.

Despite being called to the Nigerian Bar in 2016, MC Lively’s revelation sheds light on the circumstances that led him to divert his focus from practicing law and pursue his successful path in entertainment.

In his words;

“I love law so much. I excelled at it so much. I really really love it. But there was such a struggle between what you do in school and things in real life. It’s so different.

“I mean, how do I go to law school, spent such huge amount of money and coming out as a corper, and you are telling me that you can pay me N5,000 per month? To do what?
