‘I was offered N5000 to work as lawyer’– MC Lively on why he quit law for comedy

Michael Sani Amanesi, nicknamed MC Lively, a popular skitmaker and content producer, has revealed why he is not practising law despite being admitted to the Nigerian Bar in 2016.

According to the Obafemi Awolowo University graduate, he was offered N5,000 to work in a law company.

He revealed this in a recent interview with well-known media personality Chude Jideonwo.

“I love law so much,” MC Lively stated. I was fantastic at it. It truly appeals to me. But there was such a disconnect between what you do in school and what you do in real life. It’s really unique.

“I mean, how do I go to law school, spend so much money, and then come out as a corper, and you’re telling me you can pay me N5,000 per month?” To what end?

“No, that was quite distressing. And I recall that before I ever got that one, I had to go look for work on my own in various chambers. Before I received that one, I went to three or four chambers, and they all said, sorry, nothing they can do. This is nothing like a real job, NYSC. This is simply NYSC.

“Imagine what you’d have to go through even after you finish the NYSC and want a real job, an actual job.”
