Famous comedian and actor, Michael Sani Amanesi, also known as Mc Lively, has stated how he got inspired to be a comedian after studying Law.
In a recent interview with Chude Jideonwo, Mc Lively thanked his mentor, Falz, who was equally present backstage.
According to him, he had always loved comedy and he had always looked up to Falz because he also ventured into comedy even as a barrister.
He said he was getting a peanut amount of money working as a lawyer and it wasn’t enough for him so he moved to his passion instead. Mc Lively said
He said, “I love law so much, and I excelled at it. But there’s such a struggle between what one does in school, and what obtains in real life.
“I mean, how do I go to law school and spend such huge amounts of money, and straight out of Law School, I’m being offered N5,000 per month. And before I even got that particular one, I had gone to 3 or 4 different chambers. Now, imagine what I would have to go through when I want to get an actual job.
“It was such a huge problem when I was in law school, telling people that I wanted to be a comedian. People would always ask why I spent 5 years, including law school, just to end up as a comedian.
“Most times, when you want to do something, it’s always easier when there’s someone who has done that same thing.
“And I’m usually like Falz the Bahd Guy. He also studied Law too. I just want to say, Thank you, boss; that’s one of my greatest inspirations and mentors.”
