From your location in Lekki, take a Danfo heading towards Obalende or CMS. Confirm the destination with the conductor.
Alight at Obalende or CMS. From Obalende, look for Danfos going to 'Berger' or 'Ojota'. If you take one to Ojota, you'll need another short ride to Berger.
Once you get to Berger Bus Stop, look for Keke Napep or smaller Danfos heading into Isheri North. These are usually clearly marked.
Always confirm the destination with the conductor before boarding to avoid going the wrong way.
If direct buses to Berger are scarce from Obalende, take one to Ojota, then from Ojota, take another Danfo to Berger. This might add a little cost but ensures you keep moving.
LASTMA/VIO are often active around Obalende, CMS, and Berger. Ensure your Danfo driver is following traffic rules to avoid delays.
'One-chance' refers to a criminal act where passengers enter a vehicle (often appearing like a regular taxi or Danfo) only to be robbed or kidnapped. To avoid this, always board vehicles at busy, well-lit bus stops, avoid private cars posing as public transport, and try to travel with others if possible, especially at night.
No, there are no direct public transport buses (Danfo or BRT) that go straight from Lekki to Isheri North. You will always need to take multiple stages or 'hops'.
Danfos are designed for passengers, not heavy luggage. You can carry small bags that can fit on your lap or at your feet without inconveniencing other passengers. For large luggage, you might need to pay for an extra seat or consider a private taxi (though not covered in this guide).
Traveling at night carries higher risks due to reduced visibility and fewer people around. If you must travel at night, stick to major routes, busy bus stops, and well-lit areas. It's generally advisable to complete your journey before 8:00 PM.

Best Time to Travel
Early morning (before 6:00 AM) or late morning (after 10:00 AM) are best to avoid the worst of the traffic. Similarly, late afternoon (after 7:00 PM) can be less congested than peak evening rush hour (4:00 PM - 7:00 PM). Weekends generally offer lighter traffic.
Safety Rating
Medium. Lagos roads can be unpredictable. While daytime travel is generally safe, always be aware of your surroundings. Avoid late-night travel if possible. 'One-chance' incidents (where passengers are robbed by criminals posing as public transport operators) can occur, especially in isolated areas or at night. Stick to busy bus stops and well-marked vehicles.
