Popular comedian Mark Angel has shared a deeply personal account of his tumultuous journey through 2024, a year he described as the hardest of his life.
Despite the challenges, he emerged with a deeper sense of faith and resilience, calling the experience a transformative chapter in his life.
Mark disclosed that he lost over $3.7 million in forex trading after trusting the wrong people.
This massive financial loss led to mounting debts and the painful forfeiture of his properties. The emotional burden of these events pushed him to his lowest point, even leading him to contemplate ending his life.
Reflecting on the period, Mark credited his recovery to God’s intervention, therapy, and the unwavering support of those closest to him.
He expressed heartfelt gratitude to his daughters, Victoria and Mila, for their love and inspiration; his ex-wife, Mandy, for her unexpected kindness; and his close friends, Blessing and Bright, for standing by him in his darkest hours.
The comedian also faced a career-threatening scandal in 2024, which exposed disloyalty within his circle.
Rather than allowing the betrayal to crush him, Mark saw it as a painful yet necessary revelation that helped him grow and brought him closer to God.
He wrote in an emotional post “2024 began like every other year, but I had no idea how much it would test me, how much it would break me, and ultimately reshape me. It was the year I lost everything. I trusted the wrong people in forex trading and lost all my money. The weight of the loss over $3.7 million was suffocating. I was drowning in debts, and one by one, I saw my properties taken by loan sharks. It felt like my world was falling apart, and in my darkest moments, I thought of ending it all.
“But God… If not for His mercies, I wouldn’t be here. 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, offering prayers and guidance. My daughters, Victoria and Mila, reminded me of life’s beauty when it felt unbearable. My ex-wife Mandy extended kindness I’ll never forget. My son, Schoolboy, showed strength
