Moving from Chevron on the Lekki axis to Okokomaiko on the Badagry corridor means crossing from the Island to the far end of the Mainland. It is a long journey that takes you through major choke points like Obalende, Costain, Oshodi, or Mile 2. Because of fuel price hikes, the fare is high, and you must plan for heavy traffic.

Stand at the Chevron Bus Stop along the Lekki-Epe Expressway and board a Danfo going to Obalende or CMS.
Drop at Obalende motor park. Walk to the section where buses leave for Mile 2 or board a CMS-bound bus if you prefer to connect from CMS under-bridge.
From Mile 2 bus stop, walk towards the badagry park area and enter a straight Danfo going to Okokomaiko or Agbara.
Stay on the bus through Volks and Iyana Iba, then alight at the final bus stop which is Okokomaiko.
Always enter the bus with 'change' (small naira notes) to avoid fights with conductors.
Hold your phone tightly in your hand or hide it inside your bag when boarding at Mile 2.
Listen to the conductor carefully so you do not jump into a bus going to Oshodi by mistake.
Keep an eye on your pocket at the crowded Maza Maza and Iyana Iba stops.

No, there are no direct commercial Danfo buses from Chevron to Okokomaiko. You must stop at major breakdown points like Obalende, CMS, or Mile 2 to change buses.
It is not advisable. The areas around Mile 2, Maza Maza, and Okokomaiko become very dark and unsafe after 8:00 PM. Pickpocketing, bag snatching, and harassment are common in the dark.
If the traffic is completely locked at Mile 2, you can drop from the bus and take a registered Keke (Marwa) or an Okada (commercial motorcycle) to navigate through the inner streets until you pass the bottleneck, though motorcycles cost more.
