Moving from Computer Village in Ikeja to Lekki Phase 1 takes you from the mainland electronic hub to the island's commercial and residential center. The journey cuts across major choke points like Third Mainland Bridge and Falomo. Because of the long distance and heavy traffic, you need to plan your route carefully using commercial buses (Danfo), BRT, or ride-hailing services.

Walk out of Computer Village to Ikeja Under-Bridge or the main road at Ikeja Along bus stop.
Board a direct Danfo bus going to Obalende. If you cannot find a direct one, enter a bus going to Oshodi first, then take another bus from Oshodi straight to Obalende.
At Obalende, look for the Danfo buses or mini-buses (Korope) going to Lekki/Ajah. Tell the conductor you will drop at Lekki Phase 1 gate.
Drop at the Lekki Phase 1 gate. From here, you can take a registered Keke or walk inside if your final destination is close to the expressway.
Always carry smaller cash denominations (Change) to avoid arguments with the Danfo driver and conductor.
Hold your bag tightly in crowded motor parks like Obalende and Ikeja Under-Bridge.
Confirm the exact price from the conductor before putting your leg inside the bus.
Keep your phone inside your pocket or bag when boarding the bus to avoid 'one-chance' thieves and pickpockets.
It is safest to have at least ₦4,000 in cash if you are using public Danfo buses, to cover sudden fare changes due to traffic or weather. Keep extra money in your bank account for emergency transfers.
No, there is no direct train or BRT line that goes straight from Ikeja into Lekki Phase 1. You can only use BRT or connecting transport for parts of the journey on the mainland, then switch to regular commercial buses to cross over to the island.
Keep all your car windows rolled up completely and ensure your doors are locked. Do not use your phone openly where the bright screen will attract traffic robbers outside. Stay calm and follow the movement of the vehicles around you.
Yes, registered Kekes operate heavily inside Lekki Phase 1. They load from the main gate/expressway bus stop and follow specific inner routes like Admiralty Way. Fares range between ₦200 and ₦500 depending on how far you are going.

Best Time to Travel
To beat the worst gridlock, depart between 6:00 AM and 6:45 AM for morning trips. For afternoon travel, 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM is best. Avoid moving between 4:30 PM and 8:30 PM unless you are prepared to sit in heavy mainland-to-island or island-to-mainland closing-hour traffic.
Safety Rating
Medium - The route is generally safe during daytime, but you must stay alert. Beware of pickpockets at Ikeja Under-Bridge and Oshodi. Avoid displaying your phone or laptops inside traffic, especially around Obalende, Third Mainland Bridge gridlock spots, and Oshodi at night. Keep your car windows wound up and doors locked.
BRT / Rail / Water
Yes, partial availability. You can take the Lagos Blue Line Rail from National Theatre or Marina if you connect via standard buses first, or use the BRT corridor from Ikeja Along down to Fadeyi/CMS to bypass traffic before crossing to the island.
