Most African Developers & Tech Leaders Will FAIL Abroad — Here’s Why.

Most African developers — and even tech leaders — will fail abroad. Not because they lack intelligence. Not because they lack skill. But because the behaviours that made them successful back home don’t scale globally. In this video, I speak from lived experience. I’ve built and led software teams across Nigeria, Sweden, and the UK. I’ve hired engineers. I’ve promoted tech leads. And I’ve watched people relocate with impressive titles — only to quietly collapse under global expectations. Here’s the truth most people won’t say: Relocation doesn’t upgrade you. It audits you. Abroad, your CV stops speaking for you. Your decisions start speaking. Titles don’t travel. Accountability does. In global tech environments, hero culture fails. They don’t want loud brilliance. They want reliable systems. Systems that work without you. Systems that survive your absence. That’s why abroad: • Loud leaders don’t win • Visible effort doesn’t win • Long hours don’t win Reliable leaders win. People who reduce uncertainty. People who explain their decisions clearly. People who understand trade-offs, risks, and consequences. People who make others productive. This video is not an attack on African developers or tech leaders. African developers are not weak. African tech leaders are not inferior. But global tech demands a different operating system: Less ego. More clarity. Less noise. More ownership. If you want to succeed abroad — whether as a developer, senior engineer, or tech leader — focus on this: • Think in systems, not tasks • Explain decisions, not effort • Optimise for trust, not visibility • Build things that survive you This video is for: Developers planning to relocate Tech leads working in global teams Senior engineers aiming for Staff / Principal roles Immigrants in tech struggling with trust or influence Anyone who wants long-term credibility, not short-term applause Do you agree — or do you think I’m wrong?
