Popular Nigerian comedian and content creator, Mark Angel, has opened up about how he battled suicidal thoughts after losing $3.7 million in a failed forex trade.

In a heartfelt post on his Instagram page on Monday, Mark Angel detailed the emotional and financial turmoil he endured in 2024, describing it as the most challenging year of his life.

The comedian, known for his viral Mark Angel skits, shared how trusting the wrong hands in forex trading left him bankrupt and drowning in debt.

“The year 2024 began like every other year. But I had no idea how much it would test me, break me, and ultimately reshape me. It was the year I lost everything. I trusted the wrong hands in forex and lost all my money,” he wrote.

Mark Angel revealed that he kept the financial crisis private, confiding only in his family and close circle. The loss, he said, led to the repossession of his properties by loan sharks, leaving him in despair.

“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,” he admitted.

Despite the darkness, Mark Angel credited his survival to divine intervention and the support of 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. 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,” he said.

He also expressed gratitude to his ex-wife Mandy for her kindness, and to others like his son Schoolboy and his social media assistant, Bright, who provided unwavering support.

The comedian revealed that while he was undergoing therapy to heal from the trauma, a scandal shook his career and revealed betrayals within his inner circle.

“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,” he wrote.

Reflecting on the trials of the year, Mark Angel said 2024 ultimately brought him closer to God and taught him resilience and faith.

“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 concluded.
