About us
Training built for real African e-commerce
E-comm Academy Online is delivered by Glide Nigeria Limited for people building online retail businesses in Nigeria and across the continent.
Our approach
Practical before theoretical
Most people who want to sell online do not need more motivation — they need a sequence. What do I sell? Where do I buy it? How do I price it? How do customers find me? What happens when a parcel goes missing? This programme answers those questions in the order they actually arrive.
The E-Commerce Business Masterclass takes you from complete beginner to confident online seller. Across eight modules you will research and validate products, find and vet suppliers, build a professional storefront, run paid and organic marketing, handle fulfilment and returns, and manage the numbers behind the business. Each module combines video lessons, downloadable templates and short quizzes so you can apply what you learn immediately.

Your instructor
Timilehin Akinyele
Lead Instructor, E-comm Academy Online
Timilehin Akinyele is an e-commerce practitioner and educator who has spent over 5 years building, running and advising online retail businesses across Nigeria and the wider African market. His work spans the full lifecycle of an e-commerce operation — from validating a product idea and negotiating with suppliers, to launching a storefront, running paid acquisition, and managing fulfilment and cash flow at scale.
Rather than teaching theory from a distance, Timilehin builds the curriculum from the same playbook he uses in practice. He has helped small business owners move offline shops online, guided first-time founders through their first profitable product, and worked with existing sellers to turn scattered efforts into structured, repeatable operations. His approach is deliberately practical: every module ends with something you have built, decided or documented for your own business — not notes you'll never revisit.
He is especially focused on the realities of selling in the Nigerian and African context: local sourcing and importing, Paystack-based payments, logistics and last-mile delivery, and marketing on the platforms customers actually use. His goal for every student is simple — leave the programme with a working store and the confidence to grow it deliberately.
What he brings to the classroom:
- Over 5 years of hands-on experience building and scaling e-commerce businesses in Nigeria and Africa
- Practical expertise across product research, supplier negotiation, store setup, digital marketing and fulfilment
- A track record of mentoring beginners, side-hustlers and established sellers toward structured, profitable operations
