I was offered N5000 to work as a lawyer –Skitmaker, MC Lively speaks on why he quit law for comedy

Popular Skitmaker and content creator, Michael Sani Amanesi, aka MC Lively, has disclosed why he is not practicing as a lawyer despite being called to the Nigerian Bar in 2016.

During an interview with Chude Jideonwo, the OAU graduate disclosed that he was offered N5,000 to work at a law firm as a corps member.

He said it upset him a lot after all he went through to get that particular firm

MC Lively said, “I love law so much. I excelled at it so much. I really really loves 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?

“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.”
