The duo of Osine Ikhianosime and Anesi
Ikhianosime have rekindled hope in the future of
nigeria as they entered their names in the catalogue
of application developers when they built a mobile
web browser that is already in use globally. Osine
Ikhianosime 13, and Anesi Ikhianosime 15 who co-
developed ‘Crocodile Browser Lite’ were born of
same parents and both are Year nine and 11
students of Greensprings School, Anthony Campus,

The duo of Osine Ikhianosime and Anesi
Ikhianosime have rekindled hope in the future of
nigeria as they entered their names in the catalogue
of application developers when they built a mobile
web browser that is already in use globally.
Osine
Ikhianosime 13, and Anesi Ikhianosime 15 who co-
developed ‘Crocodile Browser Lite’ were born of
same parents and both are Year nine and 11
students of Greensprings School, Anthony Campus,
Lagos. While both brothers write code, Anesi
designs the user interface.
Osine and Anesi launched the mobile browser on
the Mobango app store before moving to Google
Play Store to try and reach a wider audience.
As
you read this piece, the browser currently has
around 100 to 500 downloads and they do not have
ads in the app yet. They both began developing an
Android web browser, which they named Crocodile
Browser Lite, about a year ago out of boredom.
Due to their strong interest in technology, they
decided to create a functional, fast browser for
feature and low end phones because, according to
them, “We were fed up with Google Chrome.” Osine
who told TechCabal in his pitch mail said: ‘’I write
the code, my brother designs it.”
Born April 28, 2001, his interest in computers began
at age seven. It was also at this age that he and his
brother, Anesi Ikhianosime, who was 9 at the time,
came up with the idea of starting a company.
Recalling how it started, Osine said, they first
named it ‘Doors’ with Microsoft’s Windows, but
when they discovered that the name was already in
use, they had to change the name to BluDoors.
Relating his experience, Osine said: ‘’When we
decided to learn to code at age 12 and 14
respectively, I didn’t let my uncle’s belief that it
would be a tough feat to achieve deter me.”
On his part, Anesi said: “I learnt to code by myself. I
started in 2013, I used sites like Code Academy,
Code Avengers and books like ‘Android for Game
Development’ and ‘Games for Dummies’,” said
Anesi. Meanwhile their mother, Mrs Ngozi
Ikhianosime, who is a Mathematics teacher said:
“Osine could already use a PC before he could read
at age three. It is all he does since he learnt to
code.”
The mother who ascribed the success to
Greensprings Schools, said students of the school
have access to computer and internet facilities, just
as personal laptops are made available to each of
them at home. “After Anesi is through with his
secondary school education, he will attend A levels,
after which he will go to MIT in Boston for his first
degree, because the university has the facilities he
needs to learn.” She said.
Their father Mr Philip Ikhianosime, who is the Head
of Management Services and Human Resource
Manager at an Insurance Company says the
boys developed interest in PC usage very early. He
agrees as well, that his children’s school is very
instrumental in their continued interest in
programming.
Anesi says that he’d like to develop another app that
solves real social problems, such as traffic and
communication. The brothers are releasing a new
version of Crocodile Browser Lite 3.0 this April.
