A Popular Nigerian skit maker, Michael Sani Amanesi aka Mc lively, has opened up on his struggles with the profession.
Mc lively, who studied law, said in a recent interview with media personality Chude Jideonwo on #WithChude, he struggled with the decision to dump gown and wig for comedy.
The comedian said though he enjoyed being a lawyer, he had no sense of fulfilment in the profession.
He also described singer Folarin Falana aka Falz who also studied law in the university as a mentor.
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 one 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.
