Aliyu Aminu isn’t your average guy. This 31-year-old whiz from northern Nigeria is shaking things up in the fast-paced world of technology. He’s not just following the crowd; he’s charting a brand-new course full of exciting possibilities.

The talented software developer from Katsina State, who lives in Zaria, Kaduna, just launched a game-changing app called Gistoneer. This app is shaking things up for radio stations and anyone who creates content in Africa. Gistoneer lets creators share their shows (in mp3 format) after they’ve aired.

Aliyu Aminu himself explained the app’s features to Arewa PUNCH shortly after a presentation at a recent event in Kaduna. He talked about how Gistoneer benefits all kinds of users. According to him, anyone can use it.

He stated that the app allows all users to share their favorite photographs, audio, and videos, make playlists, and interact with friends and family.

“The app is a game-changing application that empowers content creators, artists, and everyday users to connect with their audience in new and innovative ways,” he said.

Gistoneer is a platform that integrates user-friendly features with monetization potential, transforming the African and global digital content environments. It offers free mp3, mp4, and image-sharing social networking services, with the intention of expanding the services beyond music. One of its most appealing features is the Creator Fund, which pays users who have created a large following.

Aminu mentioned that one of the most appealing parts of Gistoneer is the Creator Fund, which pays users who have created a large following.

Gistoneer’s Creator Fund dashboard gets activated when an account reaches 10k followers and receives 100k views in 30 days. Users can earn money through this dashboard, monetizing their content and increasing their revenue stream. The frequency of Gistoneer material determines the revenue generated, encouraging users to upload engaging content. Gistoneer also permits posting mp3-format files of shows for fans to listen to or download later.
