Mr Samuel Obinna, founder and chief executive of Skite, has announced the company’s expanded focus on Nigeria’s fast-growing knowledge economy with a platform designed to help creators and professionals monetise expertise from a single system.
Skite is building an all-in-one infrastructure for knowledge entrepreneurs, enabling users to sell courses and digital products, host paid communities, run live events, offer one-on-one consultations, and manage audience monetisation without relying on multiple tools.
According to Mr Obinna, the platform is aimed at solving a long-standing fragmentation problem in the creator economy, where professionals are forced to combine several apps to manage payments, content delivery, community engagement, and marketing.
He said early users on Skite have recorded up to 30 per cent increases in revenue after consolidating their operations on the platform, while premium users benefit from a zero transaction fee model.
“The knowledge economy is creating unprecedented opportunities for professionals to earn from what they know,” Mr Obinna said, adding that, “Skite exists to provide the infrastructure that makes it easier to build and scale those businesses in one place.”
He told Business Post that the idea for Skite was shaped by his personal experience with content creation.
According to him, he had previously explored teaching and sharing knowledge through content online, but found it difficult to monetise consistently.
He noted that much of the value he was putting out was being consumed for free without a structured system for earning from it. That experience, he said, influenced his decision to build Skite as a platform where creators and professionals can directly convert expertise into income.
He further stated that the platform is targeting a growing wave of creators, coaches, consultants, and educators in Nigeria who are shifting toward structured knowledge-based businesses rather than traditional content-driven influence alone.
Mr Obinna added that Skite’s long-term vision is to become the core operating system for knowledge entrepreneurs across emerging markets, simplifying how expertise is packaged, sold, and scaled.

The platform provides tools for selling courses and digital products, hosting paid communities, running live events, offering one-on-one consultations, monetising direct audience interactions and managing sales funnels. Skite is designed to help creators turn expertise into sustainable and scalable income.
