Nigeria-based prosthetics company <strong>Immortal Cosmetic Art</strong> has unveiled the <em>Ubokobong Bionic Arm</em>, a functional and hyper-realistic prosthetic tailored to Black skin tones. The arm responds to electromyography signals from the brain to enable movement—marking a breakthrough in accessible prosthetics in Nigeria where such devices are typically scarce or unaffordable.

The innovation comes after three years of development, initially focusing on aesthetic prosthetics before evolving into functional, tech-driven solutions. The company has already received orders from countries including the U.S., U.K., Australia, and Ghana ahead of its official launch.

Founder <strong>John Amanam Sunday</strong> was inspired by his brother, Ubokobong, who struggled to find suitable prosthetics after losing fingers in an accident. Now, the Ubokobong Bionic Arm promises to offer both form and function—delivering a realistic appearance and mobility.
