Popular Skitmaker, lawyer and comic actor, Michael Sani Amanesi, better known as MC Lively, has explained why he left law practice for comedy.
According to the 30-year-old content creator who was called to the Nigerian Bar in 2016, he decided to quit practicing law after he was offered N5,000 by a law firm.
The Obafemi Awolowo University alumnus made this known during a recent chat with famous media personality, Chude Jideonwo.

MC Lively during the interview also disclosed he had the experience during his National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) days, noting that he had approached several law firms before he was eventually offered the ridiculous pay.
He said, “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, spend such a huge amount of money and after coming out as a corper, you are telling me that you can pay me N5,000 per month? To do what?
“No, it was really upsetting. And I remember that before I even got that particular one, I had to go look for work by myself in different chambers. Before I got that particular one, I had gone to like three or four chambers, they said, so sorry, there’s nothing they can do. NYSC, this is not even like the real job o. This is just NYSC.
“So, imagine what you would have to go through even when you are done with the NYSC and you want a real job, an actual job.”
