Mark Angel Cars
Mark Angel, though popular, has kept his personal life totally out of the public. He is not often seen displaying flashy cars. However, he recently posted a picture of him standing beside a Jeep where he said: ‘Now that God has blessed him, he can walk into where rich men park their cars and snap photos with them.”
Though he didn’t say he owns the cars, we bet he owns a JEEP WRANGLER
Jeep Wrangler
The Jeep Wrangler, with a bold, box-like-looking exterior is one of the grand vehicles you will ride and cause heads to turn in your direction. Mark Angel must have taken into consideration the peculiarity of Nigerian roads, as this car is built for ruggedness and off-road performance.
The Jeep Wrangler is sold in three primary trim levels: Sport, Sahara (Unlimited only), and Rubicon. Several powertrains are available, starting with the standard 3.6-litre V6 (285 horsepower, 260 lb-ft of torque). Depending on the trim and desire of the owner, the Jeep Wrangler can be paired to a six-speed manual transmission or an eight-speed automatic.
Toyota Sienna
In many skits of Mark Angel, He has been seen driving Toyota Sienna which comes in five main trim levels: L, LE, SE, XLE, and Limited. Premium sub-trims are also available for the SE, XLE, and Limited models. Unlike other trims, only the Limited model comes with every sienna feature as standard.
Toyota Highlander
There’s a new 2021 Toyota Highlander three-row crossover out there. Perhaps you’ve seen it on the roads, intersections, driveways, parking lots, strip malls, actual malls, or anywhere else with a paved surface and people? The family haulier may as well be standard issue in the suburbs and subdivisions around the country along with an Instant Pot and Nextdoor subscription card. Welcome to the neighbourhood, here’s your Costco card.
Mercedes Benz
Mark Angel said the Benz must give him good paying jobs because of the hype, if not he will have a problem with the person that started the Benz hype. He wrote: BENZ THIS, BENZ THAT… IF THIS BENZ DOES NOT GIVE ME GOOD PAYING JOBS, GOD WILL PUNISH THE PARTICULAR PERSON THAT STARTED THIS HYPE. ATHINK THEY SAID IF I’M NOT DRIVING BENZ, CLIENTS WILL THINK THAT I’M NOT WORTH THEIR MONEY AND WILL NOT PAY ME WELL FOR MY JOBS. FROM NOW ON, ANY CLIENT REPEAT THAT- “WHAT WILL YOU USE THAT KIND OF MONEY TO DO?” PHRASE… ME AND HIM, PLUS ALL HIS STAFF WILL FIGHT REAL FIGHT. AM NOT PLAYING WITH U PEOPLE AGAIN O. LET SOMEBODY NOT GO AND USE HIS LIFE SAVINGS AND BUY CAR, AND U PEOPLE WILL START TELLING HIM STORY. INSTEAD LET ME JUST TELL THE DEALER THAT AM NOT DOING AGAIN OOOO….
Toyota Landcruiser Prado
The Land Cruiser will not return for the 2022 model year but could re-emerge in the future with a more modern design, updated technology, and a more luxurious cabin. The Land Cruiser is powered by a 5.7-liter V-8 engine paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. This setup generates 381 horsepower and 401 lb-ft of torque. The 2021 Land Cruiser lacks the prestige of equally expensive metal, but it’s a lot more capable than most of them out in the boondocks—something to think about for those few buyers who will actually venture there.
Mark Angel House
Mark Angel has truly done a good job to keep his private life off social media. While he does most of his skits in the environs of Lagos and Port Harcourt, it’s possible he has a personal house in those locations.
Mark Angel Wife
Mark Angel is believed to be married to an Ex beauty Queen Dammy Josh – Nwayiocha with a baby girl.
