Showing the primary/fastest route plan
From Dolphin Estate, take a Keke Napep or a 'short-trip' Danfo to Obalende Bus Stop. This is a short ride to a major hub.
At Obalende, look for a commercial bus or Danfo heading to Oshodi Terminal (specifically the main bus park). Confirm 'Oshodi' with the conductor before boarding. Be aware of LASTMA/VIO presence around Obalende enforcing traffic rules.
At Oshodi Terminal, locate the bus park for buses going to Ikotun. These buses will pass through areas like Cele, Iyana-Isolo, Ejigbo, and Egbeda. Confirm 'Ikotun' with the conductor. Oshodi is a major LASTMA/VIO hotspot due to its traffic volume.
From Ikotun Roundabout or the main Ikotun Bus Stop, take a Keke Napep or a local Danfo heading directly into Ijegun. Make sure to confirm your specific street or landmark within Ijegun with the driver/conductor.

Best Time to Travel
Early mornings (before 6:00 AM) or late mornings (after 10:00 AM) are best to avoid the worst of Lagos's peak traffic. Avoid evening peak hours (4:00 PM - 8:00 PM) if possible, as travel time can double.
Safety Rating
Medium. While generally safe during the day, evening travel requires extra vigilance due to 'one-chance' risks, especially at less busy bus stops or late at night. Always board buses from designated, well-lit stops and avoid isolated routes. Keep your belongings secure, especially in crowded areas like Oshodi.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is available for parts of the journey (e.g., CMS to Oshodi), offering a faster option on dedicated lanes. However, no direct BRT route covers the entire distance from Dolphin Estate to Ijegun. There is no train service for this specific intrastate route.
Due to Ajah flyover layouts, returning U-turns are best performed at designated roundabouts rather than illegal bypasses to avoid traffic penalties.
