Moving from Computer Village in Ikeja to Magodo is a very common daily trip. The movement goes from the busy market heart of Ikeja through the main highways into the residential gates of Magodo Phase 1 or Phase 2. Even though the distance is not too far, traffic can turn a short drive into a long waiting game on the road, especially at specific times of the day.

Best Time to Travel
To beat the morning rush, hit the road before 6:30 AM or wait until 10:00 AM when the initial office rush has cleared. For evening travel, try to leave before 4:00 PM or stay back until 8:30 PM to avoid the heavy Alausa and highway logjam.

Walk out from the inner computer market down to Ikeja Under-Bridge or the main Awolowo Way park.
Board a standard yellow Danfo heading towards Ojota or Ketu and tell the conductor you will drop off at Ojota.
Cross the overhead pedestrian bridge at Ojota to the other side of the road, then enter another short-distance Danfo or Keke heading towards Berger or Magodo.
Drop at the main Magodo gate and take a short internal Keke or local shuttle to your final destination inside the estate.
Always hold your smaller change, known locally as 'alawe', to avoid rough fights with Danfo conductors who claim they do not have change.
Keep your mobile phone inside your deep pocket or zipped bag while waiting for a bus at Ikeja Under-Bridge so street boys do not snatch it.
Confirm the exact bus destination from the conductor before you step your foot inside the vehicle.
If you are going to Magodo Phase 2, ask the driver if they are passing through CMD Road or the main Lagos-Ibadan expressway side to save walking time.

With the current fuel price situation, keeping at least ₦2,000 to ₦2,500 in cash ensures you can cover all transport legs comfortably using public buses, including any internal estate shuttle costs. If you want to use a ride-hailing car, budget between ₦5,000 and ₦8,000.
No, there is no direct blue BRT bus that moves from inside Computer Village straight into Magodo. You will need to use the regular yellow commercial buses (Danfo) or take a ride-hailing car to get there directly.
The fastest alternative when the main highways are blocked is to cut through the back of Alausa Secretariat, come out near the side of the Toll Gate, and make use of the CMD road access to enter Magodo without getting stuck on the main Lagos-Ibadan expressway.
It is safer to avoid boarding empty or partially empty commercial buses at isolated spots late at night. Only enter buses that are properly loaded from recognized, busy motor parks at Ikeja Under-Bridge or Ojota to protect yourself from criminal elements.
