Popular Nigerian skit maker, Mark Angel, has opened up about the most challenging year of his life, detailing his struggles with financial loss, betrayal, and mental health. In a heartfelt social media post, Mark Angel recounted how 2024 pushed him to his limits but also reshaped his perspective on life, faith, and resilience.
“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,” he wrote. “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, was suffocating.”
The skit maker revealed how his financial troubles escalated, leading to debts and the loss of properties. “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,” he admitted.
However, he credited his survival to divine intervention and the unwavering support of his loved ones. “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,” he said, acknowledging individuals like Blessing, his friend who became family, his pastor and wife, his daughters Victoria and Mila, and even his ex-wife Mandy, who extended kindness during his most vulnerable moments.
Mark Angel further shared how his journey of healing was marked by therapy and more challenges, including a career-threatening scandal. “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.”
Despite the hardships, the skit maker found solace in his faith and the lessons he learned. “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,” he wrote.
Mark Angel ended his message with gratitude to those who stood by him and a reflection on God’s unwavering faithfulness. “If 2024 taught me anything, it’s that even in the darkest valleys, His light never stops shining.”
The deeply personal revelation has struck a chord with his fans, many of whom have praised his courage and vulnerability in sharing his story. Mark Angel’s journey is a testament to resilience, faith, and the strength found in community and divine grace.
