Nigerian comedian, Michael Sani Amanesi, popularly known as Mc Lively.

Mc Lively, a law graduate, in an interview, revealed how he struggled with the decision to dump law for comedy. He said though he enjoyed his profession as a lawyer and excelled at it, but wasn’t feeling fulfilled in the law practice. Lively described Falz as an inspiration and his mentor, who was also a law student but now a singer.

His words, “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”
