IT users, professionals and amateurs can breathe a sigh of relief! They will have very soon in their hands ‘The Mouse Mystery 7’, ‘DVD Dead Cryptor’, ‘DCE-Dead Cryptor Email’, ‘Mezo Webcam’, ‘CN.Lov’… all revolutionary IT devices invented by an Ivorian passionate about IT and Africa.

‘The Mouse Mystery 7’ is a multi-function mouse which automatically determines the age of its users and denies minors’ access to adult websites and to their content. The ‘Dead Cryptor’ is a powerful analog system which can stop large-scale CD and DVD burning that contributes to the surge of music and software piracy across the globe.

Yapi Didier is about to add to the long list of his inventions the ‘CN.lov system’, a revolutionary and sophisticated IT system. ‘The CN.lov’ will stimulate sexual stamina; it will increase pleasure and will extend the ejaculation time in intercourse. As such, it will enable its users to overcome the handicap of precocious ejaculation. The patient or the user of ‘CN.lov’ has to put his palm on the mouse connected to the computer to be energized. Simple!

Last but not the least is the ‘LU system’; another invention by Yapi Didier. The ‘LU system’ is designed to see the internal part of the human body as true eyes. Called ‘les yeux divins- the divine eyes’ by his inventor, the ‘LU system’ will enable medicine doctors and health specialists to improve medical imaging and scan and see nerves, organs, white and red blood cells with true colors, without touching the patient’s body.

Yapi Didier is completing the numerical algorithm of these systems in his lab.

This is not a joke! Yapi Didier the inventor of all these amazing tools had invented in 1998 and presented to the Ivorian public the ‘1st Pentium MMX 200X’; a computer with an ultrasonic switch system. He also invented earlier a non-pyrotechnic alarm system.

Yapi displayed all these inventions during ‘Mention Spéciale’, a public TV show broadcast by the RTI, the state-run TV station. The same year, he was granted some interviews published in the columns of ‘Fraternité Matin’, the pro-government newspaper.

These are some of the inventions by Yapi Didier (see his personal website: http://22tech.6te.net), nicknamed ‘the living God of IT’ by some of his fellow IT researchers and ‘the Wizard of the century’ by other IT scholars.

‘I am a mere IT researcher who could devote his entire life to research in order to contribute to the growth of IT science; especially in the fields where IT can help any global citizen to ease his or her daily life’ says Yapi Didier with a disconcerting humbleness, when asked to introduce himself to the audience of AfricaNews.com.

It all began for Didier Yapi during his early childhood! He started with computer-aided design, he felt in love with this new subject and with the support of Robert Yavo, one of his cousins, an IT engineer trained in Canada, the genius sleeping inside him will gradually blossom.

In his quest for IT solutions to improve living conditions in Africa, Yapi Didier explains to all and sundry most of his invention ideas. Tell him that he runs the risk of seeing his ideas be stolen and that he has to be careful.

He will answer: ‘Many of my invention ideas have already been stolen […] but they can’t be fully implemented. It’s true that the power of creative imagination has no limit, but when you’re the owner of an invention and when its creative source is in you, you can make it happen and go further than the thiefs of ideas’.

Yapi’s love for IT and Africa keep him going. His inventions apply to various fields; artistry, culture, household works and medical imaging.

Lydia Niche, a beginner singer in Ivory Coast who has been struggling to find a producer (producers have become hard-to-find products and no longer available since the surge of music piracy across the country) thinks that the invention ‘Dead Cryptor’ could lead business people to invest their money in music and give a chance to beginner singers to have a professional career.

‘The large-scale DVD and CD burning, the piracy of singers’ masterpieces and the selling of the pieces at a low price fuel potential producer’s reluctance to invest their money in the production of our works, and we suffer much from this situation, as no one is willing to invest his money and lose it. I think that Dead Cryptor is a chance for us. Big up to its inventor!’ says Lydia enthusiastic.

Likewise Lydia Niche, Innocent N’Dri, an IT Manager at UNIDO in Abidjan, the capital city of Ivory Coast is impressed by Dead Cryptor Email (DCE).

‘Get an access and manage personal private data of staff is having access to a very important part to their life. It is not a good thing if ill-intentioned people get access to these data’ says N’Dri. ‘This invention is great and very original as it hinders hackers’ access to private data’ he adds.

‘Data theft is a growing problem; and it is very difficult to solve’ admits N’Dri who is in charge of the data management of the IT platform of Mano River Youth Project; a regional project including youth from Liberia, Sierra Leone, Guinea and Ivory Coast. N’Dri can’t hide his admiration for Yapi Didier.

Since his first TV appearance in 1998 where he had presented his invention, the ‘Pentium MMX 200X’, Yapi Didier’s various calls for funding to Ivorian officials and to potential investors in order to develop his many inventions on a large scale did not produced the expected outcome.

Yapi’s call to the Ivorian Government was like talking to a brick wall; besides, the Government turned a deaf ear to his demands.

Again, the video interview he has had with the international France-based TV ‘TV5 Monde’ in January 2009 increased his fame across the world, but does not bring the expected funding to boost his invention.

The lack of proper funding still hinders the promotion and the manufacture of Yapi Didier’s inventions on a global scale. Is Yapi Didier’s origin and his skin color the impedimenta that hinders his walk toward what will make him the next Bill Gates? A thought-provoking question!
