In other news, Briefly News reported that at this point, there is no gainsaying the fact that many Nigerians are really talented. John Amanam got massive media attention with his sterling craftmanship.
He created prosthetics for people with dark skin. This is amazing! Photos shared by Twitter handle @Blacksregion showed the artificial hands and fingers he created that look perfect.
You would almost mistake it for real body parts. Many people who commented on the photos said if they were placed side by side with the natural parts, they would not be able to tell them apart. In one of the photos on Twitter, the man posed with the leg.
Another has different shades fit for the black skin. These pieces will really restore confidence to those that need them.
