The National Hospital in the capital, Abuja, is the first in the country to live-tweet an operation, reports the BBC's Nasidi Adamu Yahya from the city.

It was done to show Nigeria's expertise to the world, hospital spokesman Dr Tayo Haastrup told the BBC.
Hospitals in some other countries, including Canada, have live-tweeted heart operations before.

Dr Haastrup said there were no ethical concerns as the patient had not been identified.

That's a first that should be commended.

Our health sector needs a lot more boosts.

We need to restore the confidence of the populace in our Medical Sector to stem the tide of Overseas Medical CheckUp syndrome but na who wan die?

Who, in his right senses, will endure the painful charade of some of our FMC's while holding beta coins that could guarantee prompt and accurate medical attention for him elsewhere? Na so e dey be!!

I used to envision a day in which Nigerian Health Servicess would reach export quality levels but who am i fooling sef. Without good funding for Research and wellplanned innovative advances like this, that future may never surface.

Meanwhile, kudos to that great medical team.
