During the interview, the comedian who studied law while in the University and also went to the Nigerian law school spoke on how he struggled with the decision to leave law for comedy.
According to him, he enjoyed his profession as a lawyer but wasn’t filling fulfilled in it hence his decision to opt for comedy.
While comparing his life to that of singer, Falz, who also dumped law for music, Mc Lively concluded in his statement by saying that Falz is an inspiration and mentor to him
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 also he studied Law too. I just want to say, Thank you, boss; that’s one of my greatest inspirations and mentors.”
