From your exact location in Lekki Phase 2, find a local 'Keke Napep' (tricycle) or a shared mini-bus (Korope) heading towards Abraham Adesanya Roundabout or Ajah Market. This is your feeder connection.
At Abraham Adesanya, cross to the side of the road heading towards CMS. Board a 'Danfo' (yellow commercial bus) heading to 'CMS' or 'Obalende'. Always confirm with the conductor before boarding to avoid misdirection.
Alight at 'CMS Bus Stop'. From CMS, look for another 'Danfo' heading towards 'Oshodi'. This is a major interchange, so confirm the bus is going to the main Oshodi Under Bridge terminal or 'Oshodi Transport Interchange'.
At Oshodi (specifically the 'Oshodi Under Bridge' or 'Oshodi Transport Interchange' area), you will need to find yet another 'Danfo'. Ask for buses heading towards 'Iyana-Ipaja' or 'Egbeda'. These are popular routes.
Drop at 'Iyana-Ipaja Under Bridge'. From this busy hub, find a local 'Danfo' or 'Keke Napep' that specifically goes to 'Abule Egba'. There are usually plenty available for the final leg.
Your final destination will be Abule Egba. Tell the conductor you're dropping at 'Abule Egba Under Bridge' or a specific street/junction nearby for easy navigation.
**Off-Peak Travel:** Attempt this journey during off-peak hours (10 AM - 3 PM on weekdays, or early mornings on weekends) to significantly reduce travel time, as traffic is a major factor across the city.
**Bargaining/Fare Confirmation:** Always confirm the fare with the conductor before handing over your money, especially if you're unsure. Fares can fluctuate based on time of day, demand, and petrol prices.
**Security & Awareness:** Keep your belongings secure and be aware of your surroundings, especially in crowded bus stops like Oshodi and CMS. Avoid flashing valuables and keep your phone out of sight.
Under normal traffic conditions, this journey can take anywhere from 1.5 to 2.5 hours. During peak traffic hours (morning and evening rush, usually 6 AM-9 AM and 4 PM-8 PM), it can easily extend to 3-4 hours or more, regardless of the transport option chosen.
While major routes are generally active, it's advisable to complete this long journey before 8:00 PM. If you must travel late, opt for ride-hailing services for door-to-door convenience and enhanced security, and always ensure your phone is charged for emergencies.
No, there are no direct commercial buses that ply the entire route from Lekki Phase 2 to Abule Egba. The journey invariably requires multiple connections and changes at key transport hubs like Ajah, CMS, Oshodi, and Iyana-Ipaja, which is typical for cross-Lagos travel.
