Nigerian comedian and content creator, Mark Angel, has opened up about a turbulent 2024 that saw him face financial devastation, personal struggles, and a career-threatening scandal.
In a heartfelt revelation, the popular skit maker disclosed that he lost $3.7 million in a failed forex trading venture, leaving him in crippling debt and forcing him to surrender his properties to loan sharks.
“The year 2024 began like every other year, but I had no idea how much it would test me, how much it would break me, yet ultimately reshape me,” Mark wrote in an emotional post.
Describing his experience as the darkest period of his life, he shared, “I was drowning in debts, and one by one, I watched all my properties slip into the hands of loan sharks. It felt like my world was crumbling, and in my darkest moments, I considered ending it all.”
Despite the harrowing challenges, Mark credits his survival to divine intervention and the unwavering support of his family and close friends.
He expressed profound gratitude to his daughters, Victoria and Mila, and his ex-wife, Mandy, for their kindness during his lowest moments.
He also acknowledged colleagues and friends like Blessing and his social media assistant, Bright, who stood as pillars of strength.
However, just as Mark began to heal through therapy, another storm hit—a scandal that shook his career to its core.
He revealed how this crisis exposed disloyal friends and deepened his faith. “Through the ashes, He taught me resilience, faith, and the true meaning of grace,” Mark said.
Reflecting on the tumultuous year, he added, “If 2024 taught me anything, it’s that even in the darkest valleys, His light never stops shining.”
This revelation comes a year after allegations of financial misconduct by a former associate, Denilson Igwe, and weeks after Mark announced he no longer manages comediennes Emmanuella and Success, who are now under an agency’s care.
