Clifford Borweh, popularly known on social media as Lord Scott, started posting on YouTube in 2022 and built a career in tech content creation, amassing a following of more than 100K across social media platforms.
The Beginning
Clifford’s content journey began on YouTube in 2022, where he leaned fully into what he loved: tech.
“Everything about my life was tech,” he says. “I wanted to know what was going on… what I could do with tech.”
At the time, he felt he had learned enough to stop keeping information to himself. So he started teaching. He made tutorials, shared tips, and began documenting the knowledge he was collecting.
Two years later, around 2024, he expanded into short-form platforms, starting a more aggressive posting run on TikTok and other social platforms. He has now been doing long-form for 4 years and short-form for 2.
Building From The Ground Up (Again)
Clifford’s biggest setback came from the very platform that helped him grow fastest.
After building a TikTok account to 60,000+ followers over more than a year, the account was suddenly taken down.
“No valid reason,” he says. “You know how TikTok works.”
He appealed. The appeal was rejected. Everything, videos, followers, progress, disappeared in a day. For many creators, that’s where motivation dies. For Clifford, it became fuel. He started again, launched a new TikTok account, and treated the comeback like a mission.
“In six months, I was able to grow back to 100,000 followers,” he says.
The setback didn’t just test him; it proved to him that his growth wasn’t luck. It was a system.
A Fulfilling Journey
As his reach expanded, brand work followed. The first major brand partnership he had was with Binance, which began around 2023.
Unlike one-off deals, this wasn’t a single campaign. It was structured over time, about a two-year period, with payment handled per video, though the exact per-video amounts varied.
Lord’s fulfilment isn’t only financial. It’s the human feedback loop that comes from teaching something useful, especially in a space he believes is still earning its respect in this part of the world.
“Tech hasn’t gotten the flowers it needs here,” he says. “But we’re slowly getting into the spotlight.”
However, he cherishes the moments when people tell him that his content has inspired them to start creating, or when his tips solve real-life problems.
One comment that he has always cherished was when someone told him he “saved my relationship.”
The video was a phone tip on how to prevent a caller from seeing that you’re already on another call, so they don’t misunderstand.
The reaction surprised him. “I was like, oh my days,” he says. “Moments like this… we feel so fulfilled.”
His favourite video was a documentary-style video about losing his TikTok channel and rebuilding from scratch, answering the question people always ask creators after a setback, which he posted on December 31, 2025.
“If you lose it now, can you do it again?”
That video, he says, is one of the best he’s made—because it captured both pain and proof.
Money Moves
Despite earning from content, Clifford’s lifestyle is still relatively simple. He’s a student, still living with his parents, and they cover major expenses like school fees.
So most of his money goes toward:
· Personal projects and future goals
· Building for the next stage of life
· Saving, rather than spending heavily
He saves in a diversified way: crypto, bank savings, and treasury bills and on spending, he jokes about “girlfriend duties,” but ends up with an average monthly personal spend of around $300, depending on the month and school demands.
I’ve lived many lives, but one lesson ties them all together: money is only as powerful as its utility. Through my work, I share stories about money and create guides for Africans who want to get the best out of theirs.
