From your location within Lekki Phase 2, walk or take a local Keke Napep (tricycle) or Okada (motorcycle taxi, if available and allowed) to the main Lekki-Epe Expressway access point near Abraham Adesanya Roundabout.
At Abraham Adesanya Roundabout, board a yellow commercial bus (Danfo) heading towards Ajah / Addax. Make sure to confirm with the conductor.
From Ajah (specifically around Addax bus stop or Ajah market), board another Danfo heading directly to CMS (or 'Marina'). This will be a long ride along the Lekki-Epe Expressway and through Victoria Island.
Alight at CMS Bus Terminal. From there, locate the park for buses heading towards Orile Iganmu. Board a Danfo that will take you across the Eko Bridge to Orile.
Drop at Orile Iganmu Under Bridge. From here, you'll find numerous local Danfos or Keke Napeps going directly into Ajegunle. Board one heading to 'Boundary' which is a central hub in Ajegunle.
Always keep smaller denominations of Naira (₦100, ₦200, ₦500) ready, as conductors rarely have change for large notes, especially on commercial buses.
Be vocal and clear about your destination with the conductor. Don't hesitate to ask if the bus is going to your specific 'drop-off' point (e.g., 'Orile, Ajegunle, Boundary').
