This guide helps you travel from Ikotun, a busy area on the Lagos mainland, to Oke Ira Nla, located in the Ajah axis of Lekki. This is a long journey crossing a significant part of Lagos, requiring multiple bus changes and navigating through major Lagos traffic corridors like the Lagos-Badagry Expressway, Eko Bridge, and Lekki-Epe Expressway. While the direct driving time is 70 minutes, expect a real-world journey of at least 2-3 hours, potentially much longer with traffic.

From Ikotun, find a 'Danfo' bus heading towards Igando or Iyana-Iba. These buses are usually available at the Ikotun Roundabout or major bus stops.
At Igando or Iyana-Iba, alight and board another 'Danfo' bus going to Mile 2. This leg of the journey will take you along the Lagos-Badagry Expressway.
From Mile 2, look for a 'Danfo' bus going to CMS (Central Business District) or TBS (Tafawa Balewa Square). This bus will cross Eko Bridge and pass through Apogbon.
At CMS or TBS, find a 'Danfo' bus heading to Ajah Market. This bus will take Ahmadu Bello Way, Ozumba Mbadiwe Avenue, Maroko Road, and the Lekki-Epe Expressway.
From Ajah Market, take a 'Keke Napep' (tricycle) or a local 'Danfo' bus going into Oke Ira Nla. Oke Ira Nla is usually accessed via Addo Road.

Hotspots
Best Time to Travel
Early mornings (before 6:00 AM) or late mornings (after 10:00 AM) are best to avoid the worst peak hour traffic. Avoid traveling between 4:00 PM and 7:00 PM on weekdays, as traffic can be extremely heavy.
Safety Rating
Medium. While major roads are generally safe during the day, long journeys across Lagos, especially in shared public transport like 'Danfo' buses, carry a 'one-chance' risk (where passengers are robbed). Avoid traveling late at night. Be aware of your belongings at crowded bus stops and while in transit.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is available for significant portions of this route, particularly from Mile 2 to CMS/TBS, and from CMS/TBS to Ajah. Using BRT can sometimes offer a slightly faster and more comfortable experience due to dedicated lanes. There is no rail option for this specific route.
