Moving from Maza Maza in the Amuwo-Odofin area to Ojodu Berger in the northern part of Lagos requires navigating the major highway arteries of the city. Since there is no single direct commercial bus from Maza Maza to Ojodu, commuters must connect through transit hubs like Oshodi or Mile 2. Due to recent fuel price hikes, fares have gone up significantly, and traffic congestion can easily turn this 32km journey into a 2 to 3-hour trip if you travel during peak rush hours.

No, there are no direct public commercial Danfo buses from Maza Maza to Ojodu. You must enter a bus to a major transport hub like Oshodi or Mile 2 first, and then take another bus heading to Ojodu Berger.
Due to fuel price inflation, if you are using public Danfo buses, expect to spend between ₦1,800 and ₦3,300 in total for a one-way trip. If you use ride-hailing apps, it will cost between ₦8,500 and ₦14,000 depending on the time of day and traffic surge.
The safest time to travel is during daylight hours, specifically between 6:30 AM and 4:00 PM. Avoid traveling very late at night (after 9:00 PM) because spots like Mile 2 under-bridge and Oshodi can become unsafe with street boys (Agberos) and pickpockets.
If heavy rain starts, expect transport fares to jump instantly and traffic to slow down. If you are already at Oshodi, try to look for larger buses or shelter in a secure terminal. Avoid standing near flooded gutters or lonely roadsides while waiting for a vehicle.
