Create the kernel manually and then make UseNinjectMiddleware use the same one instead of creating another.

public void Configuration(IAppBuilder app)
{
  var kernel = CreateKernel()

  var config = new HttpConfiguration();
  config.MapHttpAttributeRoutes();

  // USE kernel here

  app.UseNinjectMiddleware(() => kernel);
  app.UseNinjectWebApi(config);
}
