Seyi Law may not have become as popular as he is
today. In fact, it was actually lack of funds that
pushed him to turn to comedy as a last resort.
In a recent chat with Saturday Beats, Seyi Law said
he actually got admission to study Medicine twice, but
he couldn’t pursue his dream because there was no
money to finance his education.
“I didn’t plan to be a comedian; it was my cousin
who saw the talent in me and felt I could do it.
When I started out in August, 2005; he introduced
me on stage for the first time. And at a point, I
just decided to make it a career. I wanted to be a
medical doctor. A lot of my colleagues would tell
you I was brilliant in the line of science. I even got
admission to study Medicine twice. But then, it was
at the point when we had financial challenges and
it was so difficult for me to continue running the
admission. I remember I started attending cla
$$es at one particular point but I had to pull back
eventually to start contributing to the sustenance
of the family with menial jobs that I did to earn
stipends. But thank God for what we have today.”
“I knew that if I was going to really succeed in this
business, I had to remain relevant for the first ten
years, and by the special grace of God, the dream
has come true. Even after the first 10 years now,
we are still going to do greater things. Winning two
awards just a week after my ten years celebration
means that it can only get better.”
