Go to a reputable interstate bus park in your Cms location (e.g., Ado Ekiti or Ile-Ife motor park if Cms is nearby). Look for buses going to 'Ojota, Lagos' or 'Berger, Lagos'.
The bus will take the route through Ifaki - Oye, F209, Ado Ekiti / Efon Road, A122, Ile-Ife Expressway, and Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.
If the bus terminates at Berger (Lagos), disembark there. From Berger, cross to the other side of the road and look for 'Danfo' (yellow buses) or 'Korope' (mini-vans) going to 'Ojota'.
If the bus goes directly to Ojota, it will drop you at the 'Ojota Bus Stop' or 'Ojota Motor Park'.
Book your ticket in advance, especially during festive seasons.
Arrive at the park early to secure a good seat and avoid delays.
Keep your luggage secure and within sight.
For long journeys, pack light snacks and water.
While not specific spots, 'one-chance' incidents usually involve unmarked taxis or private cars posing as commercial vehicles, especially late at night. Be cautious when boarding vehicles from isolated areas or if the vehicle already has passengers that seem suspicious. Always use designated bus stops and reputable transport services.
Yes, within Lagos, you will encounter Vehicle Inspection Officers (VIO) and Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) officials. They are often present on Ikorodu Road, especially around Ketu, Maryland, and Ojota, checking vehicle documents and roadworthiness. Ensure your driver's documents are up-to-date to avoid delays.
Traveling at night on interstate roads in Nigeria carries higher risks due to poor road lighting, potential for highway robbery, and reduced visibility. It's strongly advised to complete your journey during daylight hours. If unavoidable, use reputable transport companies with good track records for night travel.
If your Cms location is near Akure (Ondo State), you might consider flying from 'Akure Airport (AKR)' to 'Murtala Muhammed International Airport (LOS)' in Lagos. From Lagos airport, you would then take a taxi or airport shuttle to Ojota. This is the fastest but most expensive option. Check flight availability and prices from airlines like Air Peace, Arik Air, or ValueJet.

Best Time to Travel
Start your journey very early in the morning (e.g., 5:00 AM - 6:00 AM) to beat the heavy traffic entering Lagos via the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway and Ikorodu Road. Avoid traveling on Friday evenings or Sunday afternoons/evenings due to high traffic volume on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.
Safety Rating
Medium. While major highways are generally safe during the day, evening and night travel carries higher risks of highway robbery. Within Lagos, 'one-chance' taxis/buses are a concern, especially if you board unmarked vehicles late at night. Always use reputable transport services.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is available within Lagos once you arrive. From Ojota, you can connect to various parts of Lagos using BRT. The Lagos-Ibadan standard gauge rail line is an alternative if you choose to break your journey in Ibadan, taking the train from Ibadan to Ebute Metta (Lagos) and then local transport to Ojota.
