Renowned actor and producer Femi Adebayo is remembering the moment he chose acting as his career over law because of better pay.
Adebayo, who earned his master’s degree in law at the University of Ibadan, said he was working as a lawyer, earning N20,000 monthly, while acting was just a hobby.
However, speaking with Pulse, he said that when he received an acting offer worth N50,000 for three days.
Femi Adebayo said, “Honestly speaking, that was when I started working as a lawyer.
My salary then was just N20,000 on a monthly basis And acting was a hobby for me all this while. So not until they invited me for acting roles, they were ready to pay me N50,000 for three days. And as a lawyer, I was getting N20,000 for one month. I said, Femi, this acting is your calling. That was when I decided that I would abandon law practice and face entertainment fully”.
