We have chanced upon a Nigerian craftsman who is paving the way in prosthetics.
His activities were shared on social media by a social media user on LinkedIn and according to the post, the guy is known as John Amanam and he is paving the way in prosthetics with his hyperrealistic prosthetics for darker skin tones.
He is a 32-year-old former movie special effects expert who developed an interest in prosthetics after a family member lost a limb in an accident.
Per the post, he has no formal training in making prosthetics but studied sculpting as an art student.
