Moving from Kirikiri to Anthony takes you from a heavy industrial and port-linked area through the major transport vein of Lagos (Apapa-Oshodi Expressway) into a central residential and commercial hub. The journey requires changing buses at least once or twice, and travel times change a lot depending on port truck traffic and road construction.

Take a Keke or a short-distance Danfo bus from Kirikiri ( Berger Yard or Vanguard axis) to Mile 2 bus stop.
At Mile 2, cross over to the expressway layout and board a big yellow Danfo bus going straight to Oshodi.
Drop at Oshodi Under-bridge, walk through the pedestrian walkway to the park heading towards Ikorodu Road / Anthony.
Board a final Danfo heading to Anthony or Ojota, and tell the conductor you will drop at Anthony bus stop.
Always hold your smaller change (called 'change' or 'wuru') in your hand to avoid fighting with the bus conductor.
Keep your bag in front of your chest when walking through Oshodi or Mile 2 to prevent boys from opening your zip.
If a bus is unusually cheap, do not enter it; it might be a criminal 'One-Chance' vehicle.
Ask the conductor where the bus is stopping before you enter, because some Oshodi buses do not reach the main terminal.

No, there is no direct commercial Danfo bus from Kirikiri to Anthony. You must enter a bus or Keke to Mile 2 first, then enter another bus to Oshodi or Cele before getting your final ride to Anthony.
The safest time is during broad daylight, from 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Avoid moving very early in the morning (before 5:30 AM) or late at night (after 8:30 PM) because of security issues around Mile 2 and Oshodi under-bridge.
Stay inside the bus and keep your phone out of sight. Do not hold your phone near the open window where someone can easily snatch it. If you are using a ride-hailing car, ensure all doors are securely locked.
