Go to the CMS Bus Stop on Lagos Island. Look for yellow buses (Danfo or Coaster) heading towards 'Ajah / Eleko'.
Board a bus going towards Eleko. The journey will take you through Ozumba Mbadiwe Road, past the Lekki Toll Gate, Ajah, and eventually to Eleko Junction.
At Eleko Junction, alight and look for local transport like Keke Napep (tricycle) or shared mini-vans/taxis heading to Orimedu. Ask for 'Orimedu town'.
The Keke or shared taxi will take you directly into Orimedu town.
Always confirm your destination with the conductor before boarding.
Be prepared for multiple stops along the way as buses pick up and drop off passengers.
Keep your luggage secure and close to you, especially in crowded buses.
Buses might not always go directly to Eleko; you may need to take two buses: CMS to Ajah, then Ajah to Eleko.
While major roads are generally lit, it is always safer to travel to Orimedu during daylight hours. Public transport options become less frequent and potentially less secure after 7:00 PM. Plan your journey to arrive before dusk.
On yellow buses (Danfo/Coaster), you can usually bring one medium-sized bag or a few smaller bags. Larger luggage might incur an 'attachment' fee, meaning you pay extra for the space it occupies. BRT buses have limited luggage space, usually for small bags only. Shared mini-vans (Sienna) generally have more space in the boot.
No, there are no direct public buses that go all the way from Lagos Island to Orimedu without requiring at least one transfer. You will typically need to change vehicles at Ajah or Eleko Junction for the final leg of your journey.

Best Time to Travel
The best time to travel is early in the morning (before 6:00 AM) or mid-day (between 11:00 AM and 2:00 PM) to avoid the worst of Lagos traffic. Evening travel, especially past 7:00 PM, can be slow due to traffic and less safe due to reduced visibility and activity in some areas.
Safety Rating
Medium. While the route is generally safe during the day, it's advisable to travel during daylight hours. Be aware of your surroundings, especially when transferring at major junctions. Avoid displaying valuables openly. 'One-chance' incidents, though rare on established public routes, can occur, so always use designated parks and known transport services.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) services are available from Lagos Island (CMS/TBS) up to Ajah. There is no BRT service directly to Orimedu, requiring a transfer. There are no rail services covering this route.
