Lagos airport is a disaster, for all the reasons we know and love.
Having been there recently on both the Freighter and the 200/300, I can attest that it makes the hairs stand up on the back of your neck, much like Luanda does, and half a dozen other delightful African destinations.
Not wishing to sound holier than etc, it's days like this that we earn our money.
If you have ANY doubt, sod anyone else, it's your neck and license on the line, set the park brake, start the APU and shutdown, please don't try to be a hero and keep the show on the road. I'd rather explain my actions for being a justifiable nuisance than have to explain a collision with another parked or otherwise aircraft/obstruction.
I've done just as described previously in a number of places with EK and have never even been questioned.
