Head to the nearest major bus stop along Admiralty Way or Lekki-Epe Expressway (e.g., near Tantalizers / Lekki Phase 1 Gate). Board a commercial bus (danfo) explicitly heading to CMS (Central Business District). Confirm the destination with the conductor.
Alight at the CMS bus terminal. This is a major interchange. You'll need to find your next connection within the dedicated bus park where buses to the mainland are located.
From the CMS mainland-bound bus park, board a bus heading to Ojuelegba or Yaba via Ojuelegba. These buses will typically take the Eko Bridge or Third Mainland Bridge.
Tell the conductor you're dropping at Ojuelegba. Alight carefully at this busy hub and navigate the pedestrian traffic. You'll need to cross to the side of the road heading towards Yaba.
From Ojuelegba, you can either take a 'Keke Napep' (tricycle) or a short commercial mini-bus (Korope) directly to Tejuosho Market. Ask for 'Tejuosho Market' specifically.
The Keke Napep or mini-bus will drop you directly at the main entrance or a prominent section of Tejuosho Ultra Modern Market.
Always confirm the fare with the conductor before boarding, especially if you're unsure or carrying luggage. Fares can fluctuate slightly based on traffic or time of day.
Keep your personal belongings secure and be aware of your surroundings, especially in crowded bus stops like CMS and Ojuelegba, known for high pedestrian traffic.
Plan your journey outside of peak hours (7-9 AM and 4-7 PM) if possible, as traffic can significantly increase travel time and sometimes lead to slightly higher fares.
By Danfo, expect 2.5 to 4 hours depending on traffic. By ride-hailing, it could be 1.5 to 3 hours, heavily dependent on traffic conditions, especially around the Third Mainland Bridge and Ojuelegba. Peak hours significantly extend travel times.
For ride-hailing, it is generally safe at night as long as you use reputable apps and verify your driver and vehicle. For commercial buses (danfo), it's advisable to complete your journey before 8 PM, as bus availability decreases and crowded stops can become less secure after dark.
The best times to travel to minimize traffic are generally mid-morning (10 AM - 1 PM) or late evening (after 8 PM). Weekends, especially Sunday mornings, also offer clearer roads compared to weekday rush hours.
