Biography of Michael Sanni Amanesi (MCLively)

Michael Sanni Amanesi, better known by his stage name Mc Lively, was born in Ondo State on August 14, 1992, into a family of seven that included his parents and five siblings. Mc Lively was born in Agenebode, Edo State, and raised in Ile-Ife, Osun State. After finishing his elementary schooling at Ideal Nursery and Primary School, he went on to Moremi High School to complete his secondary education. He continued on to Obafemi Awolowo University in Ile-Ife, Osun state, where he studied law and was admitted to the Nigerian Bar in 2016, earning his Bachelor of Science degree there as well. In 2013, he became the Master of Ceremony (Mc), and by 2015, he had developed into a comic. In his humor, he also goes by the name Barrister Mike.

 

One of Nigeria's most popular and skilled comics, the Nigerian comedian is making waves in the business. With his comedic sketches, he has been able to establish a niche for himself in the entertainment business. He earned a degree in law from Obafemi Awolowo University in 2015, spent a year in law school, and was admitted to the bar in 2016. With the help of comedians like Gbenga Adeyinka, Ali Baba, Basketmouth, Tee A, Omo Baba, Okey Bakasi, Klint da Drunk, AY, Julius Agwu, Bovi, and others, Mc Lively has thus far been able to pursue his love.

Mc Lively's background as a lawyer helped him become a dynamic comedian. As a child, he liked to watch Night of a Thousand Laughs albums. He is well-known. He is renowned for using humour to discuss the problems in Nigeria. He gained notoriety as a result of the Agidi film, which highlighted the nation's fuel shortage. When his reverend father delivered a sermon at church, he had the inspiration. Along with his brother, he recorded the script and carried out the shooting. His obstinacy gave rise to the name Agidi. When he first began his career in humor as a stand-up comedian, Mc Lively experienced his fair share of disappointment. His endeavor to become a stand-up comic was a complete disaster. The failure was so severe that he even told a joke in front of the crowd, and not even his girlfriend laughed. Mc Lively said he was unable to sleep that night, but in reality, this occurred four times in the higher institution.

This setback helped him realize his talent for comic acting. Prior to getting into comedy in 2015, he began as an MC in 2013. His buddies are not shocked that he become a comic because he demonstrated his comedic tendencies while he was in the higher institution. Mc Lively is a budding Instagram star already.

Michael is one that sees intersections between the thinking process of a Lawyer and the creative process of a Comedian as he believes they both demand thinking on one's feet and communicating those thoughts in a clear and convincing manner.

The Alarming Rise of Cubercrime in Rural Nigeria: A Call to Action by Godspower Oyubu

In the rural community of Mosogar, Delta State, Nigeria, a disturbing trend has emerged. An astonishing 9 out of 10 teenage boys are entangled in cybercrime, with many also succumbing to hard drugs. This has led to a devastating 60% dropout rate among young people, perpetuating a cycle of poverty and desperation.

The situation is further complicated by parents who actively encourage their children to engage in fraudulent activities. One parent, for instance, withdrew her teenage son from school, citing that she wanted him to become a fraudster, believing it to be a more lucrative career path than obtaining a university degree. This misguided mentality has trickled down to primary school children, introducing them to fraudulent acts at an alarming rate.

The consequences of this cybercrime epidemic are far-reaching and devastating:

- Soaring crime rates and social unrest
- Economic instability and stagnation

- Erosion of moral values and social norms

- Decreased educational attainment and opportunities
- Increased substance abuse and health problems

To combat this challenge, a multi-faceted approach is necessary:

1. Government Intervention

Strengthen law enforcement agencies, establish cybercrime units, and implement policies to prevent and prosecute cybercrime.

2. Community-Based Solutions

Collaborate with local organizations to provide education, training, and mentorship programs, focusing on digital literacy, entrepreneurship, and life skills.

3. Moral Guidance

Leverage community influence to promote moral values, ethics, and responsible behavior.

4. Parental Responsibility

Encourage parents to prioritize education, monitor their children's online activities, and foster a culture of integrity and hard work.

5. Mentorship and Guidance

Provide guidance, support, and positive role-modeling to help young people make informed choices and develop a strong moral compass.

The international community must take notice of this pressing issue and offer support to combat the scourge of cybercrime in rural Nigeria. Together, we can:

- Protect vulnerable communities from exploitation
- Promote digital literacy and online safety
- Foster a culture of integrity, hard work, and responsible behavior
- Empower young people to make informed choices and reach their full potential

The future of Mosogar community, Delta State, and Nigeria as a whole depends on our collective efforts to address this pressing challenge. We must act now to safeguard the well-being and prosperity of our youth.
