In an Instagram video of his 2024 throwback, Mark Angel revealed how he lost over $3.7 million to bad forex trading investments. The huge loss plunged him into overwhelming debts, which saw him lose his properties to shylock landlords, before plunging him into months of depression.
His post caption reads, “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. It was the year I lost everything. I trusted the wrong hands in forex and lost all my money. Nobody knew except my family and closest circle. The weight of the loss, over $3.7 million of investors funds was suffocating. Almost took me to prison; 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.
But God… If not for His mercies, I wouldn’t be here writing this. He sent angels into my life when I needed them the most. Blessing, my friend who became family, never gave up on me. My pastor and his wife stood by me, praying and guiding me. My daughters, Victoria and Mila, reminded me of the beauty of life, even when it felt unbearable. My ex-wife Mandy extended a hand of kindness I will never forget. My son, Schoolboy, Ben Okoma, showed me strength beyond his years. And Bright, my social media assistant, stood as a pillar in moments I thought I’d collapse.
While I was still trying to heal, undergoing therapy to recover from the trauma, life dealt another blow. A scandal hit, shaking the foundation of my career and questioning the loyalty of those around me. It was in that storm that God began to uncover the truth. He exposed the fake friends, the pretenders, and the ones who had been silently sabotaging my peace and my circle. It was painful, but it was necessary.
2024 was the hardest year of my life, but it was also the year God drew me closer to Him. Through the ashes, He taught me resilience, faith, and the true meaning of grace. I don’t take it for granted that I’m alive today. To everyone who stood with me, prayed for me, and held me up when I had no strength left, thank you.
Here’s to God’s unwavering faithfulness. If 2024 taught me anything, it’s that even in the darkest valleys, His light never stops shining.”
With these, Mark Angel appreciated the close friends and family who stood by him. He gave thanks to his family, close friends, pastor, ex-wife, daughters, and social media manager for being there in good and bad times for him.
The comedian said that the adversity of 2024 was a catalyst for spiritual growth, and such challenges strengthened his faith and gave him invaluable lessons in resilience and divine grace. This turbulent period also revealed to him the true nature of people around him; exposing fake friends and pretenders.
