“I was once married, I never said it in any podcast… I got married in secret and I was divorced in secret. I don’t even know if am dating anyone now. I have 5 babes, If it was my daughter, I won’t date me.”
He also recounted a personal anecdote about a friend who once mocked him for his skit-making career, but now works for him.
According to Angel, he began creating skits in 2013 and gained significant recognition in 2015.
He said:
“One day, I was coming back home from the location with my laptop and camera, and Alloy who was working with Shell Nigeria then stopped me to say, ‘Mark, you intend to provide for your family with skits? Really? This ‘foolishness’ is your plan to take care of family? Just wandering and trekking aimlessly with laptop? At least, pay for a ride on a commercial motorcycle!
“As at that time, I was investing every money I was making into my craft. Because at that time the only way you could get ahead was to pay bloggers. I even put one of the bloggers on monthly payment. I paid the blogger N30,000 every month to promote my skits.
“Alloy who was discouraging me back then now works in my construction company. He works for me now. So everytime, I teased him about how he was mocking me during my days as a struggling skit maker.”
