This guide helps you travel from the busy tech market at Computer Village, Ikeja, to the massive electronics market at Alaba International, Ojo. Because of heavy traffic, road construction, and the high volume of traders moving goods, this route requires good planning. By using the right combinations of commercial yellow buses (Danfo), express connections, or private rides, you can save money and reduce stress.
Hotspots
Best Time to Travel

Walk out of Computer Village to the Ikeja Under-Bridge bus stop. Board a direct yellow Danfo bus going to Oshodi.
Drop at Oshodi Interchange. Walk across the pedestrian bridge to the Oshodi-Apapa Expressway side and board a standard commercial bus heading to Mile 2.
Arrive at Mile 2 bus stop. Walk towards the Badagry Expressway lane and board another Danfo heading towards Okokomaiko or Agbara, and tell the conductor you will drop at Alaba Rago or Volks.
Drop at Volks bus stop or Alaba Rago. Enter a local Keke Marwa (tricycle) or a short-distance shuttle bus going directly inside Alaba International Market.
Always enter the bus with 'change' (small naira notes) to avoid fights with conductors.
Hold your bags tightly in front of your chest while walking through Oshodi and Mile 2.
If you are carrying heavy goods from Computer Village, negotiate the price with the driver before putting your load in the bus boot.

Safety Rating
Medium - You must remain highly alert. Pickpocketing and 'one-chance' commercial buses are common, especially around Oshodi, Mile 2, and Alaba Rago. Keep your phones and wallets secure, avoid carrying large amounts of visible cash, and do not board unbranded or suspicious-looking vehicles late in the evening.
BRT / Rail / Water
Partial. The Lagos Blue Line Rail is available from Mile 2 down to Alaba/Okokomaiko axis, which is highly recommended to beat the Badagry Expressway traffic. Standard BRT buses also operate along parts of the Oshodi and Mile 2 corridors, but there is no direct BRT or train line running all the way from Ikeja to Alaba without switching vehicles.

The safest time is broad daylight, between 8:00 AM and 4:00 PM. Avoid traveling very early in the morning (before 6:00 AM) or late at night (after 7:30 PM) when street boys (Agberos) and criminals operate freely around Mile 2 and Alaba Rago.
Yes, you can carry goods, but the bus driver and conductor will charge you an extra fee for the load. This fee is called 'Load Money' and must be negotiated and agreed upon before the load is put inside the bus.
