From your specific location in Lekki Phase 2, find a Keke Napep (tricycle) or a shared mini-bus (Korope) to the main Lekki-Epe Expressway or a major bus stop like Abraham Adesanya or Ajah Roundabout.
At Ajah/Abraham Adesanya, board a 'Danfo' (yellow commercial bus) heading to CMS (Costain/Marina). Be sure to confirm the destination with the conductor before boarding.
From CMS, disembark and look for buses going to Oshodi. This is a very common route. Ensure the bus is heading towards 'Oshodi Under Bridge' or the 'Oshodi Transport Interchange' for easier connection.
At Oshodi, disembark and locate the buses heading towards Egbeda or Ikotun. Many buses serve this corridor; specifically ask for 'Egbeda'.
From Egbeda, you can easily find a 'Keke Napep' (tricycle) or a shared taxi (Danfo or Korope) heading directly to Ipaja. Clearly state your specific drop-off point within Ipaja.
Always have small denominations of Naira notes (₦50, ₦100, ₦200, ₦500) as conductors often don't have change for large bills.
Beware of pickpockets, especially in crowded bus stops like CMS and Oshodi. Keep your valuables secure and out of sight.
Travel during off-peak hours (between 10 AM and 3 PM) to significantly reduce journey time and avoid the most intense gridlock.
Without significant traffic, the journey can take about 1.5 to 2 hours. However, during peak hours (morning and evening rush), it can easily extend to 3 to 4 hours, especially when using commercial buses due to congestion on major expressways and the Third Mainland Bridge.
While major routes are generally lit and busy, it's advisable to complete your journey before 8:00 PM if relying on commercial buses. If traveling later, consider using a ride-hailing service for safety and directness, and always ensure your phone is charged.
To minimize traffic, aim to travel between 9:30 AM and 2:00 PM on weekdays, or early Saturday mornings. It's best to avoid the typical morning rush (6:00 AM - 9:00 AM) and evening rush (4:00 PM - 7:00 PM) if possible, as these times experience the heaviest congestion.
