Popular Nigerian skit maker, Mark Angel, has narrated how he almost took his life in 2024 after he lost about $3.7 million to foreign exchange (FX) trading.
Mark Angel lamented that the situation has made him bankrupt, stressing that he could have ended it all, left for his close associates and family who kept consoling him and assuring him of a better future.
According to the Port Harcourt, Rivers State-based comedian, the investment failure left him in a huge debt, noting that his spiritual guardian and his wife stood by his during his ordeals.
Declaring that year 2024 broke him and also reshaped him, Mark Angel said he lost “everything” because he trusted the wrong hands in forex trading.
He said, “I trusted the wrong hands in forex and lost all my money. Nobody knew except my family and closest circle.”
The skit maker further disclosed how his loss of over $3.7 million made him lose his properties as some people he described as “loan sharks” came knocking. “It felt like my world was crumbling, and in my darkest moments, I considered ending it all,” he said.
He also explained how another scandal rocked him at a time he was still trying to get over the loss he suffered.
For him, “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.”
He ended up by saying that 2024 was the hardest of his life, however, the year gave him opportunity to get closer to God during his difficult times.
Not quite long Mark Angel made the post about his alleged forex loss, his estranged close ally, Comedian Denilson Igwe made his own post which fans suggested might be a response to Mark Angel’s narrative of going bankrupt due to investment collapse.
Igwe wrote, “Lie na water, some people can lie more than the devil.”
Recall that Denilson Igwe had already filed a lawsuit against Mark Angel, demanding his share of the revenue generated by Mark Angel Comedy. Igwe is reportedly seeking 50 per cent of the revenue the comedy group earned from its inception until the day he left the team.
However, in a surprising twist, Mark Angel now claims that he has lost everything in a Forex scam, leaving nothing to give Denilson Igwe. The timing of Angel’s bankruptcy claims and Igwe’s social media post has sparked speculation among fans, with many questioning the authenticity of Angel’s financial troubles.
The feud between the two comedians, once close collaborators, continues to escalate and has drawn widespread attention across social media.
