Will this 19-year-old Ghanaian student take down google?

A 19-year-old Ghanaian university student Gabriel Opare has built a new search engine to rival Google and Youtube.According to Opare, his new search engine, Mudclo, will challenge the dominance of YouTube.Opare, a level 300 sociology student of the University of Ghana, taught himself how to code by taking online courses during his free time.Mudclo is a free search engine for videos. Mudclo discovers and streams videos from the different locations on the internet all in one place.“I believe that my business is good enough and that it can scale globally. It is a legitimate point to say that YouTube is a video hosting website, but they are two different entities.“While YouTube is a video hosting website, Mudclo combines the power of YouTube and two other video hosting websites in order to create Mudclo,” he said.The story of Mudclo has gone viral and some think the creation of the level 300 sociology student of the University of Ghana will challenge the dominance google.His critics, who claim the website is fraudulent, are convinced he may have assembled Application Programming Interfaces (API’s) from Vimeo, YouTube and Daily Motion for his website.They further added that Mudclo, which is literally a metasearch website, involves little work.There is even the likelihood that he didn’t write one line of code, but rather used templates, they added. They also lay a portion of the blame at the feet of Ghana’s media industry, for overstatements and misconceptions about the website.
