Talented Nigerian creates hyper-realistic prosthetic body parts to prevent aging
The youths in Africa are gradually taking a technological clue from their counterparts in the developed world. This is an attempt to salvage some pertinent issues the continent is faced with.
Nigerian John Amanam, a 32-year-old former movie special effects expert and sculptor, has used his extensive experience and knowledge to create hyper-realistic prosthetic ears, nose, fingers, toes, and legs.
Amanam wanted to make prosthetics look realistic in terms of skin color. Most prosthetics in Nigeria are usually white or are unrealistic.
