Reasons why Popular skit maker MC Lively dumped law for comedy
Popular Nigerian comic actor and skit maker, Mc lively recently in an interview with media personality Chude Jideonwo, has opened up about his struggles with his profession
Jaybesttrends records that during the interview, Mc lively who studied law stated how he struggled with the decision to dump law for comedy.
Mc lively said though he enjoyed his profession as a lawyer and excelled at it, but that he wasn’t feeling fulfilled in it. And it was a huge problem for him to make people understand his interest as a comedian.
His life in comparison to that of Afro rapper, Falz, who also forsook law for entertainment, the comedian concluded in his statement by saying that Falz is an inspiration and mentor to him
To this he quoted;
“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 also he studied Law too. I just want to say, Thank you, boss; that’s one of my greatest inspirations and mentors.”
Jaybesttrends recalls that also still in an interview with media Personality, Chude Jideonwo, the 30-year-old MC Lively revealed the true story behind the girl who got pregnant for him, as he says that it was a lie masterminded by the girl to extort money from him.
