“2024 was the hardest year of my life” – Skit maker, Mark Angel reveals as he shares that he lost $3.7 million to forex trading.
- Famous skit maker, Mark Angel has described 2024 as the hardest year of his life.
- In an Instagram post, he revealed that he lost $3.7M (over N5bn) to Forex and struggled with debt.
- He also spoke on suffering a career-shaking scandal that God eventually used to expose fake friends, pretenders, and saboteurs in his circle.
Comedian Mark Angel recently shared an emotional reflection on Instagram about the trials and lessons of 2024, a year he describes as both devastating and transformative.
He revealed losing over $3.7 million (over N5bn) after trusting the wrong individuals in forex trading, a financial blow that forced him into crippling debt and led to the loss of his properties.
Struggling under the weight of these hardships, Mark Angel admitted to reaching his lowest point, even contemplating ending his life.
In his post, Angel credited divine intervention and the support of loved ones for helping him endure. Key figures in his recovery included his daughters Victoria and Mila, who reminded him of life’s beauty, and his ex-wife Mandy, who offered unexpected kindness. Friends like Blessing and his pastor provided unwavering emotional and spiritual support, while his son Schoolboy and his social media assistant Bright stood as pillars of strength.
Amid his healing process, Mark Angel averred that he faced another challenge: a career-shaking scandal that unveiled the disloyalty of some in his circle. Yet, he saw this as God’s way of revealing truth and fostering growth.
Mark Angel concluded with gratitude for God’s faithfulness, stating that 2024, though his hardest year, deepened his resilience, faith, and understanding of grace.
In his words:
“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 was suffocating. 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.
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, 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.”

Billionaire’s daughter Temi Otedola and singer Mr Eazi open up on stress, disagreements before settling on three destination weddings
Temi Otedola and singer Mr Eazi have opened up about the intense stress, back-and-forth, and disagreements they went through before finally agreeing on the countries for their destination weddings.
According to the couple, planning three weddings across three countries within just three months was anything but easy.
“Three weddings in three months is insane,” they admitted, revealing how overwhelming the entire process became, especially with one event following closely after the other.
Temi shared that their original idea was to have a quiet court wedding in Nigeria. But privacy quickly became an issue.
“If we went to the courthouse in Nigeria, it wouldn’t be as private as we wanted,” she explained.
An alternative was suggested — bringing the court officials into their living room for a private civil ceremony. Temi found the idea interesting, but Mr Eazi wasn’t fully convinced.
That disagreement pushed them back to the drawing board.
Eventually, they settled on Monaco for their civil wedding, a choice Temi described as more sentimental. The UK was also considered at some point, but Temi admitted it didn’t feel personal enough to her.
What shocked her the most, however, was the reality of marriage paperwork.
“I thought getting married was just deciding and signing papers,” Temi said. “I didn’t know there was a mountain of administration.”

John Cena Retires From Wrestling (Video)
John Cena’s in-ring WWE career officially ended on Saturday night at the Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C., bringing down the curtain on more than two decades at the top of professional wrestling.
The farewell headlined the final WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event of 2025 and delivered a definitive, emotional conclusion to one of the industry’s most influential careers.
Cena’s last match saw him submit to Gunther after a punishing, near 24-minute main event that blended intensity, respect and finality.
The crowd remained fully invested throughout, rallying behind Cena in the hope of a last-gasp victory that never came.
While the result shocked many in attendance, the post-match atmosphere quickly shifted to appreciation as Cena addressed the crowd, surrounded by WWE talent and staff.
Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes faced NXT Champion Oba Femi in the opening bout, but interference from Drew McIntyre led to a disqualification finish.
Despite the short runtime, Femi emerged as a clear winner in perception, making him a future main-event player.
Meanwhile, Sol Ruca delivered one of the standout performances of the night, defeating Bayley in a result that felt less like an upset and more like a statement.
Her athletic offence and confidence marked her as a rising force in the women’s division.
The final match before Cena’s farewell featured World Tag Team Champions AJ Styles and Dragon Lee against Je’Von Evans and TNA X-Division Champion Leon Slater.
Despite the difficult slot ahead of the main event, the bout delivered action and kept the crowd engaged.
Cena exits WWE having helped elevate the company to new commercial heights, while deliberately leaving the spotlight to the next wave of stars.
