Best Time to Travel
To beat the heavy morning rush-hour traffic, leave Obalende before 6:00 AM. For afternoon or off-peak travel, 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM is usually smooth. If you are returning in the evening, try to leave before 4:00 PM or wait out the traffic until after 8:30 PM.
Safety Rating
Medium - Obalende and Oshodi parks are very busy and rowdy. Keep your phones and wallets safe from pickpockets, especially early in the morning and late at night. Avoid entering 'one-chance' buses by only boarding from regular, recognized garages where conductors are shouting their destinations openly.
BRT / Rail / Water
There is no direct BRT or train line from Obalende to Akowonjo. However, you can use the BRT corridor from Oshodi to Ikeja Along, or take the Lagos Ride/LAGBUS connection from the Island to parts of the Mainland before entering a local Danfo to Akowonjo.
