No airport in West Africa can accommodate that plane. Get your facts right. Possibly, the Nigerian Airforce Tactical Air Command based in Makurdi, which has the longest runway in West Africa, might. But the tarmac of that runway is not rated to handle something this heavy.
General Tunde Idiagbon International Airport, Ilorin, Kwara State can comfortably accommodate even Titanic shocked

I take it that you've not heard of voyager 1 and 2 then? I think voyager 1, a satellite sent to space since 1978, has now travelled beyond our solar system. Over 48 billion miles already. Here's the fun part, we can still receive transmission from and communicate with it. As at some time in August this year, we even got it to fire one of its thrusters.

Or that we have two rovers on the surface of mars right now and they have been there since 2010. We drive and operate that robotic rover right here from earth.

Right now, humanity is on the verge of using bio-mechanics to stop or even reverse aging. The concept has been proven to work in mice. Human trials may happen in the near future. I'm sure if you paid attention, you'd have read last week that Putin and Xi were overheard talking about it. Some say that the first person to live to 200 years in the modern times, has been born.

The Airbus A380.
No Airport in Nigeria can accommodate that plane. A plane that can accommodate more than 800 passengers at once.
NIGERIA is far behind
Nigeria isn't ready yet

In the US and other countries they have to expand the tarmac, runways and hangers to accommodate the plane. If Emirates for instance wants qto use the plane in Nigeria FAA will do the same thing. Stop trolling your country...

This is Myrtle Avenue on the landing approach to Hearthrow Airport in London. It is a normal site for those who lived there.

Meanwhile: Check this thread to further appreciate the gracefulness of the A380.

Very massive aircraft.

We don't normally see these aircrafts in our airspace.

I now know that Arik Air, United Nigeria airlines, Rano Air, Nigeria Eagle,etc we normally take are small aircrafts compared to these gigantic ones.

Kudos to British Airways and Emirates 👏

It's just like that in LAX Airport, Los Angeles, San Francisco Airport and Sky Harbor in Phoenix.
The noise is very very concerning 😟

The airplane decends to required heights for landing so is the plane at fault or the house wrong located?

Was visiting a friend in Queens ... very residential area .. blocks of small private houses . We're in the living room visiting ... I'm facing the windows ...then like out of nowhere ... this huge plane is approaching the house ... verrry low ... crash landing?? ... into the living room? ..I froze with fear because there is no way I can get out of the way of this massive plane. It managed to just clear the house and I was expecting to hear a big boom as it crash landed...heard nothing. Then my friend calmly said .oh... don't worry...I was scared the first time too .,but now I'm used to it....the airstrip at the back, I never went back to that house .
