topman do they do that on the moon, where you're from?
kano, abuja, PH, yola etc will make you wait if they've got a *turbine* aircraft on am 8 mile final, they're that sharp
lagos is different, they will only hand you over to tower when you are established on the glide and often you can't get a word in on the frequency because the tower freq is also the ground and the delivery freq, too. so you can get right down to 2 miles in IMC and only then manage to make contact with a tower controller who has just lined something up in front of you....this after doing the dance with all the other arriving and departing aircraft in and thru the hold at LAG.
and the most important thing then?
"report souls on board"
but its not normal procedure to knowingly line up something with something else at 1 mile...
30 seconds out?
