Mark Angel Opens Up About Losing $3.7M in Forex Trading in 2024: A Year of Struggles and Resilience

Renowned Nigerian content creator, Mark Angel, recently shared his emotional journey through one of the most challenging years of his life, revealing a staggering loss of $3.7 million in forex trading, which plunged him into crippling debt.

On Instagram, Mark reflected on how the financial setback spiraled into a series of personal trials, leaving him feeling overwhelmed. He lost his properties to creditors and, with mounting debt, was left grappling with a sense of hopelessness. Despite these overwhelming struggles, Mark emphasized how the experience, though devastating, ultimately strengthened him.

He also opened up about how, while in the process of emotional healing through therapy, he faced another blow—a scandal that shook his career and forced him to reevaluate his relationships. This difficult period revealed the true nature of many around him, exposing fake friends while also deepening his connection to faith and his inner strength. Mark spoke about how these challenges brought him closer to God and taught him crucial lessons about perseverance, grace, and the importance of loyalty.

He expressed profound gratitude for the support of his close-knit circle—his family, friends, pastor, and team—who stood by him through it all.

Mark shared, “2024 started like any other year, but I couldn’t have predicted how deeply it would test me. I ended up losing everything. I trusted the wrong people in forex and watched it all slip away. Only my family and a small group of close friends knew the depth of my loss, which totaled over $3.7 million. The weight of that loss was unbearable. As debt piled up, I watched my properties vanish into the hands of creditors. I felt like I was sinking, and at my lowest, I even considered ending it all.”

*“But God… If not for His mercy, I wouldn’t be here today. He sent people into my life just when I needed them most. Blessing, who became more like family than a friend, never gave up on me. My pastor and his wife were constant sources of prayer and support. My daughters, Victoria and Mila, reminded me of life’s precious moments, even when I couldn’t see it. My ex-wife Mandy showed me compassion I’ll forever be thankful for.
