Board a short-distance commercial bus or enter Keke from your point in Kirikiri heading out to Mile 2.
Drop at Mile 2, cross the pedestrian bridge safely, and look for the big yellow Danfo buses going down the Apapa-Oshodi Expressway towards Cele Bus Stop.
Alight at Cele Bus Stop, walk inwards towards the local garage, and board a direct Danfo bus heading straight to Ijegun.
Stay on the bus as it moves through Ikotun-Ijegun road until you reach your final destination drop-off.
Always carry smaller cash denominations (Change) to avoid arguments with conductors who complain about ₦1,000 or ₦1,000 notes.
Hold your bag tightly in front of your chest when passing through the crowded Mile 2 motor park area.
Ask the conductor clearly if the bus is going to 'Ijegun Last Bus Stop' before you step your foot inside.
Check the weather before leaving; if dark clouds are gathering, move fast before roads turn into rivers.

Safety Rating
Medium - Watch out for pickpockets at Mile 2 and Cele bus stops, especially in the night. Avoid late-night movements and always keep your phone and wallet secure inside the Danfo.
BRT / Rail / Water
There is no direct BRT lane or passenger rail line connecting Kirikiri directly to Ijegun. The Lagos Blue Line rail stops at Mile 2, which helps you bypass Badagry Expressway traffic, but the rest of the journey relies strictly on standard Danfo buses, Keke, or ride-hailing cars.

Apapa-Oshodi Expressway
The recent removal of fuel subsidies and continuous hikes in petrol prices mean commercial drivers spend way more to fill their tanks. To survive and make a profit, they pass the extra cost down to the passengers.
No, there is no direct public Danfo bus that goes from Kirikiri all the way to Ijegun. You must stop at connecting hubs like Mile 2, Maza Maza, or Cele Bus Stop to switch vehicles.
It is safer to finish your journey before 8:00 PM. Major connecting points like Mile 2 under-bridge and Cele become dark and dangerous at night, with street boys (area boys) targeting commuters' phones and bags.
To prevent this, ensure you enter the bus with the exact fare or remind the conductor about your change immediately you board the vehicle. Keep matching his face and voice so he doesn't pretend to forget you when you reach your stop.
